PIEMONTE INNOVATION CLUSTERS’ REGIONAL SYSTEM
Activities, services and opportunities to accelerate the impact of research & innovation regional policies
The regional Innovation Clusters started their activities in 2009, when Piemonte, first region in Italy, chose to invest in collaborative innovation.
Since then, the Innovation Clusters have grown to the point of including 1200 companies and all the universities and research centres. The innovation clusters have supported in time more than 1300 collaborative innovation projects co-founded by the Piemonte Regional Authority.
The experience gained has highlighted the need to combine the classic “vertical” approach, based on proven specific sectoral knowledge of each Cluster, with a new way of dealing with innovation that creates added value through the contamination and integration of transversal competences.
