TCI Annual Global Conference, 05.09.2013

Marco Malacarne

Head of the “SMEs: Clusters and Emerging Industries” unit

Plan of presentation

What role for cluster organizations

Cross-border

Cross-sectoral

Value-chain innovation

SYSTEMIC APPROACH

“represent a powerful means for de-risking the development and scale-up of novel service systems, encouraging engagement with stakeholders and users, sharing experience … identifying clusters of expertise and opportunities for partnerships ….”

“working back from user-needs to… solutions

“move from small-scale prototypes to… larger-scale”

Large-Scale Demonstrators

http://ec.europa.eu/enterprise/newsroom/cf/_getdocument.cfm?doc_id=7958

Cluster animated projects for a "Large-scale Demonstrator" approach

Real-life

Near-market

User-driven

ENTREPRENEURIAL OPPORTUNITIES

SOCIETAL CHALLENGES

Example: Intelligent Transport

Expert Panel recommendation:Demonstrator on sustainable coordinated transport … to promote more sustainable mobility and reduce the cost of congestion

SME support in COSME / H-2020

Access to markets

Access to finance

Emerging Industries

• Enterprise Europe Network• Cluster Internationalisation

• Loan Guarantee Facilities• Venture Capital Funds

• Large-Scale Demonstrators• European Strategic Cluster

Partnerships

Conclusions

1. Supporting cross-sectoral collaboration to unlock innovation and growth potential

2. Using cluster organisations (and regional policy) to facilitate structural change and innovation

3. Large-scale demonstrators to test new value chains and give rise to emerging industries
