ECEI - European Cluster Excellence Initiative

The European Cluster Excellence Initiative (ECEI) is a program that supports regional innovation clusters—groups of interconnected businesses, research institutions, and organizations—by helping them improve their management, collaboration, and competitiveness. Through this initiative, clusters can access best practices, benchmarks, and resources to enhance their effectiveness in fostering innovation and economic growth. ECEI aims to strengthen these networks across Europe, enabling them to better connect local strengths with global opportunities, ultimately driving regional development and technological advancement in various sectors.
