Mechanisms & Support Measures than can be built within the structural funds to support innovation & clusters Corallia: an innovation catalyst in Greece
[Corallia]Mission
= Innovation Catalyst
Structural Funds & Measures through the example of the mi-cluster
[policy framework]Economic exploitation of talent and new ideasNot just industry and big firms with R&D but also
services, competitive research and open innovation
mi-Cluster: key characteristics
mi-Cluster : expansion (2006 – 2008)
• Reached critical mass in 2006
• mi-Cluster Members::
• some figures [[F/Y 2008F/Y 2008]]::
[2006] 13 companies[2006] 13 companies
[policy design]Absorption mechanism based on regional
potentialMatching business demand with RTD supplyIntroduction of Indicators to measure policy
impact
mi-cluster: todayPatras
Thessaloniki
Athens
Greece
• >130 actors including industry (SMEs), academia, research, financial institutions, public actors, buyers & suppliers
• Main geographical concentration in Athens (74), South Greece – Patras (27) & Northern Greece – Thessaloniki (10)

• Industry – Industry & Industry – Academia Cooperative R&D projects• Events: Career Days | Professional orientation Forums | Roadshows,
events and meetings in Europe & US aiming to attract young talented human capital from Greece [repatriation of scientists]
• Industry – Academia cooperation for the design of specialised Curricula – targeted to meet the current needs of the market

mi-Cluster: investments
• mi-Cluster companies backed by Private Investors or Multinational companies established abroad:
• More than €30Μ from private investors over the last 10 years
• Over €80Μ investment of multinationals, directly for the development of design centers operating in Greece (Sitel, Nanoradio, Bytemobile)
• Recent acquisition of Elxys Innovations by Ceragon, Blind Type by Google, Athena Semi by Broadcom
