SME Cluster Growth
Supporting SMEs in the engineering sector to innovate and grow.
Strong partnerships between local citizens, civil society, industry, and various levels of government are deemed necessary.
This project aims to empower Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) and their urban stakeholders to tackle pressing urban challenges.
By focusing on cross-border engineering business cluster development, this project enables synergies across regions, reaches international markets, adopts new technologies, and supports mutual learning.
Engineering SMEs and the higher education community are the primary beneficiaries of this approach. While students, regional governments, intermediary organisations, venture capitalists, business consultants and investors have the advantage of an outward looking engineering ecosystem.
