Key learning points By working with clusters we deliver to small and

medium companies a national and international analysis of the market.

To facilitate change we have to help clusters and their agents to define the business segment, strategy and action plan to compete.

Innovation in business segments and strategies has to be supported also by new technologies.

Recognition to many people working for it..

Thanks to the institutions that support this work
