Description

Clusters across the globe compete for investments, export, talent, supply chains and visibility. Attractiveness and reputation become critical factors – and brand building and strategic marketing essential tools.

How can a cluster become a strategic brand builder? How do you position the cluster to attract talents, investments and new firms and to support internationalisation of cluster firms?

INVITATION - Cluster Branding Masterclass – Brussels, 26-27th of April We would like to invite European cluster managers to a two day (lunch-to-lunch) Cluster Branding Masterclass. In focus: brands and branding as a managerial tool to manage your cluster more effectively.

Participants will learn tools and best practise examples on how cluster managers and investment promotion professionals can work with branding to create recognition and attractiveness for the cluster and its firms. We will also look at branding as a managerial tool in a multistakeholder ecosystem. The masterclass has been held before in Stockholm, Helsinki and Copenhagen.

Some of the questions that will be discussed are:

  • Why and for whom is the cluster reputation important?
  • How can we create a process that ensures that the branding strategy of the cluster is used and supported by firms and other cluster actors?
  • How can we work with strategic positioning of the cluster?
  • How can we strengthen the cluster brand and identity by using other brands in and around the cluster?
  • Workshop with participants will be an important part of the Master Class.
