About The CLUSTER CENTRE
Since 2019 the Cluster Centre is gathering the all-island cluster community into a network of good and better cluster practise. The Cluster Centre sets out to network and support clusters, networks, Trade Associations, Research Gateways, national, regional and local policy makers, and civil society with cluster development. As we gather champions and practitioners into an overarching structure for clusters and policy makers, The Cluster Centre is designing a partnership approach to clustering in Ireland. We are committed to building trust and relationships.
We promote clusters, networks and clustering initiatives in order to raise the visibility for clustering in our national landscape and internationally. At the Cluster Centre, we understand that for clustering to deliver as a mechanism it first needs to become embedded in the context of shared understanding as an approach to economic development and industry support. The Cluster Centre continues to grow services, support and joined up architecture for the all-island clustering community & across the quadruple helix.
