ClusterFY overall Objective

To improve regional/national policy instruments

seeking to intensify clusterization processes

(especially in KETs related sectors), fostering clusters’

and business networks interregional cooperation,

integration into innovative value chains and better

employment for the implementation of S3

5

ClusterFY sub-objectives

to create the favourable conditions in order to boost the regional/national KETs related networks and cluster development as an important part of RIS3 and innovation ecosystem

to intensify clusters and business networks collaboration across borders and sectorial boundaries exploiting KETs and enhance interregional cooperation in fields of strategic interest

to increase the internationalisation of clusters and business networks and their integration into innovative value chains

6

ClusterFY approach

Explore and analyse partners national andregional

innovation and cluster policies and programmes related to

3 components:

Cluster/Busines networks

KETs

Internationalisation

7

KETs selected by EC:

Cross-cutting KETs development for dual‐use products,

services and technologies (civilian and military purposes)

KETs play an important role in the research, innovation

and cluster strategies of many industries

nanotechnology

micro- and nanoelectronics, incl. semiconductors

advanced materials

photonics

industrial biotechnology

advanced manufacturing systems

9

KETs for dual-use

New markets that arise from cross-cutting

KET developments

Markets with the highest potential are in

transport, healthcare, security,

‘edutainment’, textiles,

chemicals and materials,

energy and electronics
