Bilbao, Basque Country I Spain

As the risk of coronavirus outbreak in EU has been raised from moderate to high, we have decided to postpone our workshop on Cluster Policy planned in Bilbao, March 25.

Many European regions and countries have worked intensively developing their cluster policies. With the growing support from cluster strategies and policies many European clusters have flourished and developed to advanced levels. Today, strong European clusters are frontrunners on innovation, globalization, sustainability, upskilling, upscaling and business support. The TCI Policy Workshop digs deeper to understand how policy frameworks have helped with this development and how to strengthen cluster policies looking ahead.  

The TCI Policy Workshop will have a co-creating format filled with interesting presentations, open discussions on policy models including regional contributions like the Basque cluster trajectory. The ambition with the workshop is to summarize core learnings to a tool on cluster policy development to share with our global TCI community.  Check here the preliminary agenda of the event. 

At the TCI Policy Workshop you can

• Celebrate the opening of a new office for TCI Network – a new policy hub for our community
• Experienced European speakers having core insight on cluster program – hear their learnings and failures along the way
• Get the insights in the strong Basque cluster story – both seen from a policy side and from the perspective of cluster managers
• Co-create a new tool on policy learning on cluster policy. Share your own experiences
• Share ideas on what comes next in cluster policy.

We will inform you on the new dates planned for the workshop and meanwhile we will work on alternative online formats to keep the dialogue going.
