While the regional ShopExpertValley cluster is not among the region’s five prestigious Pôles de Compétitivité, the small retail cluster manages to facilitate green and digital industrial transition in the Centre-Val de Loire region by offering a targeted and innovative service portfolio to its cluster members. Although the cluster is not eligible for financial support through a national cluster support scheme, the Regional Council provides financial support to cover for operating expenses under its “research, development and innovation (RDI)” scheme. Moreover, the region makes available support through calls for innovation projects, mainly supported by ERDF, which the Council implements in its capacity as managing authority.
