CLUSTERING IN ACTION Benefits Within the EU – Sum of the Parts is Critical Driving Innovation Encouraging SMEs Capitalising on Strengths Capturing Markets
CLUSTERING IN ACTION Weaknesses ERDF Projects Have a High Administrative Overhead (Much greater than FP7) INTERREG IVa Manche Is Burdensome The cost eligibility and reporting criteria do not reflect practices in the private sector, and these programmes are to some extent excluding business participation
CLUSTERING IN ACTION Weaknesses HOWEVER We are still participating and so are our businesses; therefore the programmes are worthwhile but we need to examine the burdens imposed!
