Project P4I Overview
Photonics4Industry
Cluster Excellence in Photonics for Industrial Modernisation
The overall objective of the Photonics4Industry partnership was to strengthen cluster management excellence, create exchange opportunities and build a sustainable pan-European strategic partnership of five photonics clusters to accelerate the modernization of the industry and in particular to improve the competitiveness of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) among the members.
The project was achieved by developing a joint partnership strategy, improving cluster excellence, developing new services for cluster members, promoting peer learning with the ClusterXchange mobility program and implementing joint business-to-business (B2B) and cluster-to-cluster (C2C) activities. This also included the inclusion of clusters outside the photonics industry, the linking with EU and regional strategies, as well as the development of intelligent specialization and raising awareness of photonics and the new Austrian ecosystem, including its digital platform.
Strategic Goals
- Develop the necessary skills and initiatives to develop and establish new interregional SME value chains and solutions related to industrial modernization, increase competitiveness and improve international market access for photonics SMEs
- Further develop the capabilities of cluster managers to support SMEs in industrial transformation and expand the contribution of clusters in this regard
- Joint service portfolio and joint development of know-how through cooperation between photonics clusters, which will also be extended to industry clusters and other external players.
Photonics4Industry had set itself the task of realizing at least 100 company visits via the ClusterXchange program in at least 5 European countries. At least 12 consortium members should improve their cluster management skills and 250+ SMEs should benefit from 20+ new individual and joint services developed within the project. Together with at least 2 non-photonics clusters and at least 5 established innovation networks, the development of cooperation agreements was one of the objectives.
