go-cluster
Germany needs strong and efficient innovation clusters. Companies and research institutions that co-operate with one another are able to profit from each other's strengths and skills. Working within a cluster makes it is easier to develop ideas. When brought together, the diverse set of experience held by all the different members of a cluster also helps companies to implement good ideas in a targeted manner, thanks to the concentration of synergies and skills. Sound cluster management is also a necessary foundation for success.
The aims of the Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology's go-cluster project are as follows:
- To further develop German clusters and turn them into highly effective international clusters
- To undertake regular analyses of trends in international cluster policy in order to make recommendations for necessary developments in German cluster policy
- To provide partial support towards the development and implementation of novel cluster services in order to give cluster managers an incentive to create new services.
