ECCP - 25th April, 2019
ECCP Weekly Digest
Less than 3 weeks left until the European Cluster Conference 2019 kicks-off on 14 May 2019, welcoming to Bucharest 450 participants! Indeed, we received over 400 registrations since the opening of the Conference registration in March, demonstrating a widespread awareness and involvement from the cluster community. We are happy to announce that we have now accepted 450 participants to the 6th edition of the European Cluster Conference, offering 50 additional spots. The full capacity of the Conference is now reached, meaning that the registration is closed. For those who cannot attend, we recommend to follow our news on the ECCP and on social media: on Twitter @Clusters_EU and on LinkedIn @European Cluster Collaboration Platform.
Now it is time to introduce to you the speakers of the conference – have a look here at their portfolios. And don’t forget: only 5 days left (until 30 April) to apply for the Awards of the European Cluster Conference 2019!
It is because we care for your visibility that we remind and invite all the clusters with a profile on the ECCP to revise and update these! Should you need any help, we are at your disposal at contact@clustercollaboration.
We also have the pleasure to welcome on our portal a new sectoral cluster network - SME4SPACE: consisting of 15 working members (clusters/associations), the network the ideal partner for carrying out dissemination activities especially with respect to SMEs, thanks to its international profile and its capacity to represent the interests of a network of space SMEs (more than 580) covering 20 European Countries.
Enjoy reading our Weekly Digest!
