Promoting the Green Transition. A guide for clusters to take action.

Thanks to their connecting role, clusters are uniquely well positioned to facilitate knowledge exchange, sharing of good practices, and collaboration – both among their members and with external stakeholders. This puts them in a key position as agents of change in the transition toward a green, circular, and climate-neutral economy.  Clusters bring together various companies, non-profit organisations, research and knowledge institutions, financial service providers, and public bodies, creating essential networks at regional, cross-regional, national, and EU levels. There are over 1500 clusters in the EU, accounting for almost 25 % of EU employment (source: https://clustercollaboration.eu/policy-makers ) It is crucial that cluster managers understand the concerns and challenges, as well as the opportunities, that companies face as they advance toward making their business models and activities more sustainable, and that they do their best to support them. This guide aims to provide inspiration for clusters on how they can promote the green transition and support local businesses in this endeavour. It includes several good practice examples from clusters across Europe that you can read more about in the good practice collection on the ECCP website.
