ECCP Weekly Digest
Discover the world of the ECCP INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION pages: our experts collected, analysed and structured relevant information on the cluster landscapes in various countries beyond Europe. With the aim to help cluster organisations learn more about cluster policy, market environments and useful networks in these countries, as an info-desk prior to initiating cluster collaboration. We would be happy to receive your feedback anytime at contact@clustercollaboration.
ECCP Weekly Digest
The ECCP Weekly Digest is back! And we are simply overwhelmed by the amount of content published, making this issue the biggest one in more than 2,5 years!
We start with the big news: 2 matchmaking events are already open for cluster organisations to register!
- The EU-Korea Cluster Matchmaking Event taking place on 6 - 8 November 2018 in Vienna/Austria in the context of the European Utility Week (deadline for application: 14 September 2018)

We hope that during the summer time you will also have a few minutes to update your ECCP cluster profile or maybe just one second to participate in our poll and let us know if you involve social enterprises in your cluster activities!
