27. november 2015, Maribor, Slovenia, source TECES

To wider the involvement in European flows and cluster networks, TECES has signed a Letter of Intent with the partner cluster TechnologyMountains, Germany.

TechnologyMountains (TM) is a cluster organization in Germany, the region Schwarzwald-Baar-Heuberg, which brings together more than 130 members with over 21,500 employees. The members come from the ranks of the industrial partners operating in the fields of micro-technology, medical technology and plastic materials.

TM cluster is one of 64 clusters in Europe, which currently holds the golden sign for Cluster Management Excellence. Cluster Management Excellence is a pan-European initiative, supported by the EU (European Secretariat for Cluster Analysis - ESCA) in the belief that technological clusters are drivers of innovation and consequently economic growth.

TECES has gained the Bronze Label for Cluster Management Excellence at the end of 2014. The next logical step for TECES is preparation to obtain a gold label for excellence in cluster management. Therefore, we have taken the ESCA mentoring program and got connected with the German cluster TechnologyMountains.

The representative of TM, Mr.Thomas Wolf has visited Slovenia and TECES to carry out a comparative analysis of the processes of governance in the management of the cluster. This represented a seamless experience for both TECES and TechnologyMountains cluster. Regardless of the diversity of management and particularly the funding of clusters in Germany, it was possible to pull parallels in regards of the provision of quality services to their cluster members.

The management of both cluster has identified the complementary activities, with a view to the international cooperation of clusters the Letter of Intent was signed. The organizations will continue to cooperate with a view of promoting;

  • collaboration of Slovenian and German companies on mutual cross-cutting areas
  • the establishment of joint research and development projects between German and Slovenian companies and research institutes,
  • mutual assistance for outbound delegations and joint trade show appearances.
