ECCP Weekly Digest
Following her keynote speech at the TCI Network 2018 global conference in Toronto, we invited Zabeen Hirji, Global Advisor, Future of Work for Deloitte for a special ECCP Interview. Here she explains the difference between diversity and inclusion, provides five accelerators clusters can use to mobilise diverse talent, and shares some inspiring examples of the benefits that accrue if we do this right.
In our effort to continuously improve your user experience of our platform, we now created a special section for the ECCP Interviews, where you can read all our interviews.
The #EUCLUSTERWEEKS initiative continues to grow! The latest event registered is Cluster Collaboration Day – Clusters in the face of new challenges. Horizon 2020, COSME, POIR, RIS, taking place on 22 February in Warsaw, Poland.
Apply here until end of March to make your event (taking place before end of April) part of the pan-European initiative!
Don’t forget to take 1 second to participate in our current poll and let us know if your cluster organisation supports or acts as a Digital Innovation Hub.
Enjoy reading our Weekly Digest!
