  1. Notes on preliminary secondary analysis for „maritime clustering“ in the Czech Republic Libor Friedel Director, Centre of Applied Economic Research Member of European Cluster Policy Group

  2. Notes concerning data • Data sources • Albertina – Firm Monitor 2008 (NACE rev. 2) • Czech Industry Panorama 2007 (NACE rev. 1) • Limitations • Different approaches in EU-25 what to count under „maritime“ - however an effort towards unification • NACE revisions in the Czech Republic (OKEČ to NACE rev.1 to NACE rev.2) • More difficult to dirref marine equipment etc.

  3. Maritime • Building of ships and floating structures • Building of pleasure and sporting boats • Manufacture of engines and turbines, except aircraft, vehicle and cycle engines • Manufacture of plastics and rubber machinery • Manufacture of optical instruments and photographic equipment • Manufacture of communication equipment • Manufacture of electronic components • Water transport • … (has broader/multi-sectoral perspective)

  12. CZconclusions (?) • CZ shipbuilding clustering • ??? – maybe on the CE (land-locked countries) level • More specified CZ country study and/or CE countries study (data unification, primary research) • Opportunity for CZ entreprises in maritime • Hidden potential • To involve themselves more into (european/global) „maritime“ supply chains • More suitable (national/regional) „policy“ to focus better cluster/innovation development/support

  14. Perspectivesandpolicy Libor Friedel Director, Centre of Applied Economic Research Member of European Cluster Policy Group

  15. Context • EU - Towards the World-Class-Clusters • European Cluster Observatory • European Cluster Memorandum • European Cluster Policy Group (till 9/2009) • INTERNATIONALISATION !!! • Within EU • EU + other countries • CZ clusters/cluster policy needs to act against international isolation

  16. Recommendation / Further development • Top-down vs. bottom-up balance • Next „cluster policy“ on CZ national level – relevant to EU context • Call for detailed national study/analysis • Marine equipment/supplies, parts… • „Working group“ towards maritime „cluster initiative“ • National (CZ) level and/or international project partnership • Opportunities for project(s) • INTERREG IV ABC (e.g. OP Central Europe), CIP… • Further debate(s) • Specific stream on the Cluster conference at Tomas Bata University in Zlin 5.-6.11.2009 • National Cluster Alliance…
