European Cluster Observatory

The European Cluster Observatory is a tool that provides detailed information about economic regions in Europe where businesses, industries, and innovation activities are concentrated—called "clusters." It helps policymakers, researchers, and companies understand the strengths, activities, and potential of different regions. By analyzing data on employment, innovation, and collaboration, the Observatory supports decision-making for economic development and competitiveness across European regions. Essentially, it maps and explains how local ecosystems of companies and research institutions work together to foster growth and innovation.
