Key activitiesStatistical cluster data and regional competitiveness datao Collect secondary statistical data from national statistical
agencieso Process and assemble the data in a database
Data about cluster organisationso Identify them with secondary data (Google, reports, etc)o Solicit primary data (website users)
Make the data publically available on a websiteProduce analysis and reportsProvide a ”library” for cluster-related documents

Cluster mapping
Multiple indicators: employment, firms (units), wages, growth
Comparable data across all of Europe
Gives you answers to questions like:
”In which European regions is a certain sector concentrated?”
”In which sectors is a certain European region specialised?

Typical uses:
Observatory reports, examples:o Creative and cultural industries clusterso Mobility industries clusterso Smart specialisation in European regionso Service vs. manufacturing orientation
Other EU uses, examples:o A reference source for cluster policy reports by the
European Commission

EU and India: an important difference
India EU
Competitiveness = productivity Competitiveness = innovation
Improve qualtity and efficiencyEnhance knowledge flows between firms, research and education
Best done in homogoneous groups of firms producing same or similar products
Best done in systems of related industries and ”triple helix”, and across clusters
Narrow cluster definition Wide cluster definition
