We are proud to report from Rzeszów, where the Clusters Meet Regions event was held – ​​organized by the European Cluster Collaboration Platform (ECCP) in cooperation with the Podkarpackie Voivodeship Board and us, Polish Clusters Association.

This is the third edition of the initiative in Poland – this time in the Podkarpackie Voivodeship, which shows how effective cluster cooperation supports regional development, innovation and implementation of key European Union policies: green transformation, digitalization and industrial security.

We learned about the latest data and assumptions of cluster development in the region, as well as the concept of network cooperation as a foundation for building an effective innovation ecosystem.

The second and last day of the Clusters Meet Regions event in Rzeszów was marked by practical discussions on dual-use technologies, unmanned systems, European support instruments and the potential of startups in the development of an innovative economy.

At the end, the participants visited the Podkarpackie Innovation Center and the Technology Incubator in Aeropolis.

We are very happy that we could co-create this year's edition of the Clusters Meet Regions event as a partner of the event!

We would like to congratulate the European Cluster Collaboration Platform (ECCP) on its excellent initiative, and the Marshal's Office of the Podkarpackie Voivodeship for organizing an extremely substantive and inspiring meeting.

It is a great satisfaction for us that such a large group of representatives of the Polish cluster environment took an active part in the discussion panels, presentations and behind-the-scenes talks – promoting the potential, experiences and good practices of Polish clusters on the European forum.

We believe that the voice of clusters from Poland was well heard, and new contacts and joint conclusions will translate into further strengthening of international cooperation.

We would like to thank all participants and speakers – see you at the next events of the Clusters Meet Regions series and beyond!
