In April 2020 we conducted a Global Survey on the sector-specific Impact of COVID-19. The results of the survey, a join undertaking between TCI Network and VDI/VDE Innovation, help to better understand how the different industrial and commercial sectors are hit by the COVID-19 crisis and the important role that professional cluster management is playing in supporting the industry to ramp up at the end of the lock-down and on the way to re-start our economies.
