We are thrilled to announce that the Lithuanian Industrial PV Technology Cluster, represented by our coordinator PROTECH, participated in the recent European Cluster Conference. The event was a resounding success, offering a wealth of insightful speeches and productive meetings that have significantly benefited our cluster.

Key Takeaways from the Conference:

Clusters are Key to EU Security One of the crucial messages from the session “Strengthening the EU’s Defence, Health, Energy, and Economic Security” was the vital role clusters play in protecting the EU’s security. Clusters are essential in addressing both long-term and short-term challenges, such as supply chain shortages and cyber-attack risks. 💡

Boosting Competitiveness through Internationalisation Another memorable session, “Boosting EU Clusters’ Competitiveness through Internationalisation,” provided several key insights:

• Collaborative Development: Internationalisation extends beyond import-export activities; it involves collaborative development projects. Clusters need to establish ecosystems and networks with organizations in third countries beyond Europe.
• Fundamental Tools: Clusters can offer their members crucial tools, including market analysis of targeted countries, coaching and mentoring sessions, trade missions, and matchmaking events.

Our participation in the European Cluster Conference has reinforced our commitment to innovation and collaboration. We are excited about the future and the continued growth and success of the Lithuanian Industrial PV Technology Cluster.
