The White Paper on Strengthening the Capacities of Clusters in the Danube Region was developed in 2019.

This study provides a snap shot of current stage of Cluster Management Excellence in the Danube Region. In addition, in the study, ideas and reflections are given on how to improve such excellence and where to make better use of cluster initiatives.

The study also tackles two upcoming challenges in the field of regional development, which go beyond the Danube Region. Firstly, how to use cluster initiatives after having them funded and supported over many years. Secondly, how to apply the approach of Smart Specialization in a way that provides better impact. Thus, the study provides not only ideas how to further strengthening the capacity of cluster initiatives in the Danube Region, it also provides ideas how to link the clusters, Smart Specialization and macroregional approach in the future.
