Project “Chances and challenges of cluster-based marketing in mechatronics – CLUSME contributes to the set objectives by European  Regional Developmend Fund Central Baltic Programme 2014-2020, Priority no 1 (Competitive Economy) specific objective no 3 (More exports by the Central Baltic companies to new markets).

Project 

The project contributes to SMEs of mechanical engineering and mechatronics sector to find possibilities for collaboration, export and knowledge exchange in markets outside Europe. To accumulate knowledge and experiences, use resources efficiently and achieve better results the cluster partners from Finland and Estonia cooperate to form metacluster.

Main objective of the project: Achieve increase of export volumes and therefore the competitiveness of Estonian and Finnish mechanical engineering and mechatronics sector through cluster-initiative and common marketing by creating preconditions for successful export to new expanding markets outside Europe.
