On 14 March 2019, Bio-based Industries Joint Undertaking (BBI JU) States Representatives Group (SRG) and the SCAR Bioeconomy Strategic Working Group (BSW) organised a joint workshop to exchange best practices for the creation of regional thematic clusters; to identify drivers for creation of clusters and to share experiences on successful Bioeconomy related clusters from around Europe.
The workshop covered strategic topics linked to the clusters creation including policy support and dedicated instruments but also panel discussions on practical cases that allowed to share a selection of experiences in creating clusters. The workshop brought together 83 experts and representatives of bioeconomy related clusters, SRG delegates, SCAR BSW members, BIOEAST2 members and policy makers at national and regional level to discuss the key elements for cluster development and their role in supporting the bioeconomy.
This report is a brief record of the workshop and the ensuing discussions and includes as annexes the agenda and list of participants.
