NRW.innovativ publishes the first cluster panorama of NRW

The cluster panorama provides an overview of the cluster landscape in NRW and five focus topics for the further development of the innovation location with the help of the clusters.

At the beginning of 2022, the new networking initiative “Cluster-Dialog.NRW” of the Competence Center NRW.innovativ started. This currently includes around 25 nationwide active clusters and networks. The initiative is designed as an open format. Various events took place in the first half of 2022. Based on the findings from discussions with clusters and the discussions at the first Cluster-Dialog.NRW events, unused potential and future focus topics for the Cluster-Dialog.NRW were discussed and derived.

As part of these activities, general fields of action and five topic areas were identified from a bottom-up process in which the NRW clusters and networks so far see the greatest short- and medium-term potential and tackling points for the NRW innovation ecosystem:

  1. Promoting knowledge and technology transfer with the help of the NRW clusters
  2. Supporting cross-clustering and cross-innovation between the NRW clusters
  3. Participation of NRW clusters in federal and EU funding programs
  4. Use of European cluster labeling
  5. Participation in the European Cluster Conference 2022

In the 1st NRW.innovativ Cluster Panorama you can find out more about the potential and the cluster landscape in North Rhine-Westphalia.
