Description
The European Cluster Conference 2024, taking place on 7-8 May, aims to highlight the vital role of clusters in advancing EU industrial priorities. It seeks to engage stakeholders in discussions on ongoing Commission initiatives, collecting feedback on 2024 priorities and encouraging bottom-up actions. Building on the Expert Group on Clusters’ recommendations from late 2022, the conference offered insights into how stakeholders integrate and implement the Commission’s vision on the ground, contributing to Transition Pathways. The conference addressed pivotal topics— the Green Transition, the Digital Transition and Resilience Building—providing a deep dive into key drivers like skills, funding, and technology. The conference raised awareness about the role of clusters, the European Cluster Collaboration Platform, and stimulate debates on clusters’ possible actions to shape the future of the EU Single Market.
The European Cluster Collaboration Platform, on behalf of the European Commission, organised the EU Clusters Talk “Green, digital and resilient through clusters: Takeaways from the European Cluster Conference” on 15 May, 8:30 – 9:45 CET, to reflect on the key learning from the different keynotes and parallel sessions of the European Cluster Conference and discuss the vision for the future of clusters.
