1. INTRODUCTION

The purpose of this report is to provide information on the transport-related Regional Clusters involved in the

SMART project and the main lines of the collaboration with those organisations.

This deliverable reports the updated status of collaboration with all the engaged cluster, specifying which of

them are the ones already linked to the project (as indicated in the description of work), and which are the

new engaged clusters.

Clusters are considered a key instrument of the SMART project to facilitate the creation of partnerships on

transport and to increase the possibilities for SMEs of being involved in R&D collaborative projects.

All the clusters engaged in the SMART community have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to

formalise their collaboration with the project.

The logo of engaged clusters are placed in the homepage of SMART website, and a direct link to their

website has been set to give them more visibility and also to get more interest from registered users.

This report will be updated by the end of the project with the definitive list of engaged regional clusters.

2. ENGAGING REGIONAL CLUSTERS OF SMEs

2.1 IDENTIFICATION AND CONTACT WITH REGIONAL CLUSTERS

The aim of this subtask is to enlarge the network of Regional Clusters involving SMEs operating along the

transport value channel (from the auxiliary industry suppliers and IT systems developers to logistic operators

and mobility experts) engaged to the SMART project and purpose.

With this objective, each SMART consortium partner has contacted the Regional Clusters of their influence

area, their partners in any network, their business contacts / clients and those targeted by the dissemination

activities carried out. The list of potential partners has been increased by searching for active transport-

related Clusters directly on the web, attendants to Transport InfoDays, etc.

In the case of Clusters already in contact with SMART partners, within the frame of other collaborations

(projects, networks, business), a direct verbal communication on the SMART project and provided support

has been the main channel for a first communication on SMART, followed by the provision of additional

information by mail and a presential meeting with the main potential counterpart within the Cluster.

As regards Clusters without a previous established communication channel, usually a short introduction on

the project has been done by phone in order to identify a suitable counterpart within the organisation.

Afterwards, an e-mail has been sent followed up by phone to confirm the Cluster interest on setting a

presential meeting or receiving additional information.

2.2 ENGAGING REGIONAL CLUSTERS

The aim of this subtask is to formally engage the identified clusters in SMART and establish the

communication channels and facilitate the access of their associated members to the offered SMART

services.

As detailed in the chart above, a presential meeting has been hold with most of the contacted clusters after a

project introduction by several means (phone, e-mail o directly in the frame of events or business meetings).

The interest and involvement of the contacted Clusters has been uneven depending on different factors,

mainly:

- The relative importance of research and development activities and projects within the Cluster

objectives, work groups and strategic vision

- The perception of the added value of SMART for the associated members

- The internal “bureaucracy” to reach an agreement for the MoU signature

This wide answers range can be summarized in the fact that most of the contacted clusters have either

formally engaged to the project or not even registered to the SMART portal to check whether they could be

interested in joining and to benefit from the online services.

Cluster can benefit from SMART by increasing the range of services offered for free to their associated

members:

Free evaluation of R&D project ideas

Support to set-up RTD own projects

Support to join projects led by large organisations.

Events around Surface Transport trends and needs, with training activities on interesting FP7

programmes for research actions.

Wide visibility through the registration in the SMART database, where they can be tagged by large

organizations as virtual “meta-clusters” for potential partnerships

Additionally, Clusters benefit from the SMART services directly (as organization itself), as they can lead or

join collaborative R&D proposals.

The feedback provided up to now lead to the (provisional) conclusion that the most interesting service for

Clusters is the support to join proposals, both directly as legal entity and for their members. The visibility the

SMART portal offers them to be contacted by other transport related organization is also appreciated.

This feedback will serve the consortium to further improve the services offered and personalize the support,

leading to the achievement of the project objectives.

3. CONCLUSIONS

The activities described in this deliverable are connected with the measurable result set in the Description of

Work for the Objective number 1:“At the end of the project, a target of 15 Regional Clusters will be linked and

will receive support through SMART”.

According to the results reached so far:

out of the 6 Clusters already identified in the DoW, four have signed the MoU.

6 new Clusters have formally engaged to SMART by signing the MoU

and the current collaboration with other Clusters, it is very likely that this objective will be accomplished by

the end of the project (M24) with the engagement of at least 7 new Clusters.

However, as the engagement of Regional Clusters is understand as means for the achievement of the rest of

the project objectives, a stronger focus on the activation of the Clusters engaged so far should be put in

place by the SMART partners in order to reach and support the Cluster members.

Therefore, during the next reporting period, Clusters will be the main target of the SMART activities. This way

the consortium will be able to provide specific support to their associated members and increase for both

parts the concrete results derived from the collaboration.
