Cluster development –Norwegian experiences
• Cluster initiatives are important in regional and national innovation strategies
• Strong demand for cluster support instruments: Funding and additional services
• The support instruments should be coordinated
• A growing awareness in the business community to form partnership – And a growing willingness to invest in cluster development
• Evaluations of cluster programmes and projects are positive – but there is always room for improvement!
• No one size fits all!
