European coverage
(trans-)regional coverage
Collects inputs to strategic priorities
„Think Tank“
Provides local inputs with regional /
topical specificities
Communicates with the European
Commission and Members States
Communicate with local stakeholders
and public authorities
Participation to clusters dialogue
~ 12 thematic clusters & networks
Facilitate communication between
members
Provide leading actors for
collaboration
Common projects for strong industrial sectors in Europe
EPoSS submitted a CSA projeth 4 clusters in France, Germany and Swizerland
to develop an positive and stimulating ecosystem for Smart Systems in Europe
No competition between ETPs and clusters but needs
for intensive collaborations
