European Aerospace Cluster Partnership
To ensure the competiveness of Europe’s aerospace industry, the regional cooperation has to be taken to a higher level: In 2009 the European Aerospace Cluster Partnership (EACP) was established as a joint approach to economic and technological challenges, to learn from each other and to find solutions together to issues that go beyond national borders: creation of innovation, availability of skilled labour force, and sustainable economic growth in an eco-friendly environment. The EACP members support their regional aerospace supply chain in keeping up with global competition and becoming strong and flexible.
In the last years the EACP participated in several European strategic partnerships, such as ESCP, ESCP4i and the cluster excellence call. This time the Expressions of Interest for a European Strategic Cluster Partnership S3 aims at bringing about the means to give continuity to the labels they had received beforehand. The new label will help to carry on our joint work in a continous strategy setting, the road-map and the drum-beat to improve the partners' quality of cluster management. In addition to the other labels, this one can help us to focus on several regional strategies, underline the joint interest and help us to discuss and enable the network to define a possible joint European smart specialisation strategy.
The cluster organisations listed below are members of the EACP, which is a loose network of currently 40 aerospace clusters from 15 countries. We are working on a level of mutual trust while maintaining the idea that everyone's additional input to the network brings out even more benefits for each partner.
