alternatywny.klaster.info is currently realising a project within the Innovation Express programme,
co-financed from the Polish budget. The project has enabled our cluster members to participate in several international visits to countries where our partner clusters operate. The project aims at developing cooperation in terms of research, development and innovation (RDI). Apart from international visits, the cluster coordinator's personnel took part in an internship in Italy, which
allowed them to gain valuable insights into the functioning of an already developed cluster and its member companies. The next step planned within the project is an international conference in
Warsaw, in October 2009
The Cluster Coordinator provides services for the Cluster members in innovative consulting,
technology transfer, helping to meet new partners, seminars and workshops, applying for domestic and EU funds, making innovative business plans for projects. Cooperation of six clusters: Cluster TIC, Barcelona Media, ThinkUp ICT, Konfindustria, GS1 Belarus and alternatywny.klaster.info within the INNET programme focuses on participating in common meetings between specific Cluster Members as far as research, development and innovation are concerned.
