Bavaria cluster offensive
The Cluster Offensive Bavaria, an initiative of the Bavarian federal state government, aims at expanding and strengthening statewide networks between companies, universities, research institutes, but also between service providers and financiers in 19 key sectors and technology areas. The initiative is to strengthen competitiveness of Bavaria and further boost its existing benefits as a business location.
The cluster offensive has achieved a major broad impact in Bavaria’s economy: in the meantime, some 6,000 companies, the overwhelming majority of which being medium-sized enterprises, regularly participate in the clusters’ activities. In addition, the individual cluster teams have held more than 1,500 events since the start of the initiative.
Strong in competition: the interim cluster congress
The experiences and successes after three years of Bavarian cluster policy are presented at the congress of the Bavarian state government "Cluster Offensive Bavaria – strong in competition" on 22.07.2009 at CCN Ost, Nuremberg exhibition centre. The congress, attended by more than 1,700 participants, also provided the 19 clusters with the opportunity to present themselves to the public at the associated fair. Chemie-Cluster Bayern was particularly pleased to welcome the two state ministers Zeil and Heubisch to their stand.
