In particular, ELCA promotes international actions to strengthen cluster management excellence and facilitate exchanges and strategic partnerships between clusters, organizations, companies (in particular Small and Medium-sized Enterprises – SMEs) and specialised ecosystems across Europe and beyond.
ELCA fosters the collaboration, networking and learning of clusters and business support organisations and their members towards the specialised and customised services for SMEs. Therefore, ELCA works for innovation, driven by research, industry, public authorities, and citizens by taking initiatives on the European and international levels, demonstrating, experimenting, and sharing knowledge.
