Description
ClusterXchange (CXC) is a pilot scheme launched in 2020 that aims to foster internationalisation, transnational collaboration and networking, peer-learning, and innovation-oriented activities among cluster organisations and their members.
A webinar on 9 November 2021 at 15:00 CEST will be a chance for the Partnerships to reflect on the first phase of the scheme by exchanging lessons learnt, good practices, assessing the impact and sharing success stories from both the virtual and physical exchange.
A session will also be dedicated to the next steps of CXC and how the scheme can widen its reach and impact. The event will begin with an opening from the CXC SO and EISMEA/DG GROW followed by a brief look at the objectives of the CXC and the impact that has been realized.

Two Excellence Partnerships will present their experience together with the Host and Visiting Organisations that conducted exchanges. And finally, post-pilot phase of CXC will be addressed by the EISMEA and CXC SO.
