Our mission
What is a competitiveness cluster?
A competitiveness cluster is made up of companies, from SMEs to major groups, research laboratories and training
institutions, covering a clearly identified territory and focusing on a targeted subject.
Competitiveness clusters are drivers of growth and employment.
Support innovation by promoting the development of highly-innovative and collaborative R&D projects.
Help drive the development and growth of its member companies, in particular by bringing to market new products, services or processes developed as a result of research projects.
