Cluster & Network Cooperation Projects

Good Partners for Better Ideas!

 Clusters and Networks assist in many areas of project development:

  • Project consulting (idea, kick-off, proposal, dissemination,...)
  • Finding project partners (personal research, requests for proposal via Clusterland media and initiating round-table conferences for interested parties
  • Support with project applications, financial possibilities, important conditions)
  • Possibility to use clusterland facilities for meetings
  • National and international PR and advertising activities
Upper Austrian companies will be financially supported:

Although all companies are highly welcome to participate in cluster projects, financial-aid from governmental funding is restricted to innovative cooperation projects only from businesses in Upper Austria.  >> Please inform yourself about financial support for Upper Austrian businesses
