The European Cluster Collaboration Platform, on behalf of the European Commission, in partnership with the North-East Regional Development Agency Romania and the Romanian Cluster Association – CLUSTERO are jointly organizing the Clusters Meet Regions conference and matchmaking event on 21-23 November 2023 in Iasi, Romania.

Themed as “Clusters as drivers of regional innovation eco-systems,” the conference will debate on the role of clusters as reliable dialogue partners in the design, implementation and ongoing monitoring of regional development policies and programmes with a focus on smart specialisation, skills for industrial transition and entrepreneurship.

A particular emphasis will be put on the international and interregional cluster-cooperation in relation with Ukraine and Republic of Moldova against the wider Danube Region perspective.

Clusters, SMEs and other European innovation actors are also invited to discover the business and technology potential of Eastern Europe in a dedicated matchmaking event, organised on 22nd November afternoon with the support of the Enterprise Europe Network, with focus on ICT, agrifood, wood & furniture, textiles, energy and environment, health, tourism and bio-economy sectors.
