Cluster organizations are the form of joining of companies that initiates innovations, productivity and competitiveness through cooperation between the business communities, educational – research and development institutions and public sector.
Cluster approach has a key role for small and medium enterprises (further referred to as SMEs) development since business cooperation in the form of clusters is the economic model which ensures decrease of costs, better access to specialized services, new technologies and new markets.
Across the Balkans there is a recognition that economic development is to take place through increasing cross-company collaboration, innovation and internationalization. The Cluster House www.clusterhouse.rs is a pioneer of the development of comprehensive cluster-based cross-border and transnational cooperation model in the countries with transitional economies. This comprehensive model consists of the six cluster development modules in the fields of organization, advocacy, servicess and communication. The model was developed within the Danish LEDIB Programme mission (2007-2012), improved during the EU IPA CBC BG-RS „Balkan Cluster“ project implementation (2015-2016). The model is implementing in the on going bilateral business development projects with the Czech Republic and Egypt (2016).
The Balkan and Black Sea Cluster Network, initiated and coordinated by the Cluster House, is a powerful cluster-based economic development tool for supporting and accelerating cluster development in the region with influence on economic development on the global level. The network fosters cluster-based cross-border and transnational collaboration through networking, B2B and matchmaking events, capacity building and advisory services, transfer of knowledge and promotion. It helps spur innovation by facilitating engagement between the cluster actors: public sector, academia and companies supported by media and financial organizations. It brings global market closer.
