There is clear evidence of regions all across Europe where clusters play a crucial role in regional economic development. The objective of the ‘Clusters meet Regions’ initiative is to facilitate the implementation of good practices where clusters play an active role in regional economies and are drivers for economic transition, and to create and promote collaborations between clusters and regional stakeholders for the industrial development of the regions​. 

To reinforce the connection between clusters and regional actors, the ECCP organizes transnational workshops that bring together clusters and policymakers at the local, regional, and national levels, with the aim of strengthening the industrial ecosystem in a selected host region.
