The European Cluster Panorama 2014 profiles developments in ten selected emerging industries, identified through a data-driven analytical process that focuses on the identification of strong and weak linkages across economic activities. These profiles capture the overall size and growth dynamics within each of these industries, and show their geographic footprint across EU regions. At the EU level, they can help search, in a more targeted way, for narrow hotspots of emerging linkages within these industries. They can also help identify those regions in Europe that have already been able to create the conditions for growth in these industries. At the regional level, the profiles provide key insights into the current patterns of specialisation across and within the ten emerging industries, and they can help regional authorities to focus on those areas where competences exist and growth is most likely to be achieved.
