Guiding Questions:
• What are the European challenges, policies and priorities that SNN and NNL key clusters have to address in competing successfully for future EU funding ?
• Which perspectives for long-term cluster operations can be gained from a SWOT analysis of NNL key clusters?
• What partnership strategies for NNL key clusters can be derived from an evaluation of partnership potentials in Northwest Germany ?

Cornerstones of future EU Cohesion Policy
• Lisbon Treaty / EU 2020 : Economic, social and territorial cohesion
• new cohesion report (end of 2010) / followed by cohesion forum• 2014 – 2020: Continuity in goals
To facilitate growth in lagging areas (old: convergence)To enhance competitiveness and employment To foster integration across borders
• Responding to EU challenges• Concentration on core priorities• Place-based, i.e. addressing region-specific needs and potentials• Coherent with Single Market policies• More emphasis on territorial cohesion:
cross-border cooperation, urban development, macro regions• Monitoring, Evaluation, Benchmarking of performance

Cross-border NNL/NWD cooperation: Bottlenecks
Bottlenecks => Solutions
Administration mismatch => Project focus
Cluster mismatch => Targetted
partnerships
Regional development benefits? => Regional added
value
EU competitiveness doubtful => EU added value
Limited partnership potentials => Partner
screening Geographical distance => Virtual
partnerships
=> Start with projects rather than with political
coordination!
04/11/23 20:02 © BAW GmbH 3604/11/23 20:02 © BAW GmbH 36
EU competitiveness through NNL/NWD cooperation?
EU policies call for cross-border-cooperation
Territorial cooperation goal: „to foster integration across
borders“
Single EU market: „unexploited cross-border potentials“
Cluster-specific potentials for cross-border cooperation
Untested partnership potentials: e.g. Sensor tech
Shared challenges and opportunities: e.g. Energy,
Agribusiness
Cross-border knowledge spill-overs : e.g. Healthy Ageing
Development of cross-border business markets: e.g.
Water tech
=> Access to EU programmes for Innovation, Exports,
Productivity, Education, Employment, Infrastructure, SME
promotion
=> Cluster-specific partnership strategies
