Clusters meet Regions matchmaking event in Chisinau invites participants

The European Cluster Collaboration Platform, on behalf of the European Commission, in partnership with the United Nation Development Programme Moldova and the Romanian Cluster Association – CLUSTERO are jointly organising the Clusters meet Regions conference and matchmaking event on 10-11 October 2024, in Chișinău, Moldova.

The organisers invite entrepreneurs, representatives of public authorities, and clusters from the Republic of Moldova, Ukraine and the European Union to participate.

Themed as ‘Clusters as drivers of inter-regional value chains’, the conference will debate the role of clusters as reliable dialogue partners in the design, implementation and ongoing monitoring of regional development policies and programmes with a focus on smart specialisation, skills for industrial transition and entrepreneurship.

The conference will pay special attention to clusters and their role in the economic development of Moldova and the inter-regional collaboration in the EU through clusters, with a special focus on the Danube and the Black Sea regions.

Clusters, SMEs and other European innovation actors are also invited to discover the business and technology potential of Moldova and other Eastern European countries in a dedicated matchmaking event, organised on 10 October in the afternoon with the support of the Enterprise Europe Network.

The deadline for registration is 8 October.

On 9 October 2024, on the eve of the conference, EU4DIgital is organising the EU4D Digital ICT Innovation Forum. The event is also open for registration.
