The Romanian Cluster Association – CLUSTERO, through the South-East Region Clusters’ Consortium, has the honour to invite you to attend the 5th National Romanian Cluster Conference “CLUSTERS AS DRIVERS OF VALUE CHAIN DEVELOPMENT ACROSS THE DANUBE REGION“, with a dedicated focus on Bioeconomy.

Clusters. Danube Strategy. Bioeconomy

The competitiveness gap existing between the Eastern Europe countries (including Romania) and the West of the continent has its roots in the low degree of innovation and internationalization at the level of small and medium enterprises.

In this context, the Romanian clusters’ integration in international and multi-sector value chains is one of the most viable solutions that can speed up the “catch up” process in terms of innovation.

The Danube Region is a proper framework for this approach as it brings together countries and regions in various stages of development. Moreover, Bioeconomy is one of the sectors with potential for excellence in Romania, given the resources and the competencies in areas such as energy, environment, agriculture, food security and safety.

The event enjoys the presence of eminent representatives of European organizations, national and international clusters, research institutes, universities and companies.READ MORE
