1. This project has been conducted within the European Commission initiative aiming to promote the internationalization of European cluster and to develop world class cluster practices.
2. The project WIINTECH aimed to build a common international strategy between a set of European clusters aiming to : – fostering the already accomplished intercluster and transnational
partnerships, – extending them to international cooperation towards
internationally leading clusters (technology and industrial partnerships, training, tech transfer, mobility, mentoring…),
– focusing on green materials for clean tech markets. 3. WIINTECH project has been conducted from January
2012 to December 2013

Achievements Identified difficulties Next steps
Establishment of bridges, privileged contacts
Difficult for SMEs to invest in countries (e.g. Brazil )
Soft landing involving incubators’ centres: inward and outward Attract companies from the selected countries
Very good experience to share, model of action to propose
Countries selected might not be appropriate for everybody
Have large groups mentoring SMEs in countries like Brazil
The model can be extended to other geographical areas as it works
8 partners in the consortium vs 3-4 for the other projects, different views
Have a political support to develop towards OEM in Brazil, India…and to prepare the collaboration with China
Foster and develop the relationships with the identified partners (within MOUs)
Difficulty to involve SMEs in the project
Opportunities between members of the consortium
WIINTECH: Project learnings
December 2013
This initiative is supported by the European Commission's Directorate-General for Enterprise and Industry and financed under the Competitiveness and Innovation Framework Programme (CIP).
19
Difficulties: • To share the same vision • To design a common branding of the project • To be able to define the group as a whole
Achievements: • Cluster team building effort leading to a real effective European network • Very positive feedbacks from the trips outside of Europe: background of the EC and
involved partners • Signatures of MOUs: international network in Brazil, USA, India and Japan • European gateway for research organizations, universities and companies
Next steps: • Reinforced collaboration between the European clusters : shared activities, common actions
in trade fairs, co-organization of events… • Shared offices outside of Europe • Outgoing missions • Increasing involvement of companies European and international sides B2B events
Metaclusters learnings
