EU Clusters Talks: Keeping up with the Euroclusters: Achievements and lessons learned
2023-06-28 09:30 - 11:00 (Africa/Abidjan)
On September 1, 2022, the EU Industrial Strategy initiated the launch of 30 Euroclusters, which are strategic initiatives encompassing industry clusters, research organizations, and companies across Europe. These Euroclusters are designed to be cross-sectoral, interdisciplinary, and trans-European, aiming to foster resilience and expedite the transition to a green and digital economy. One of their key roles is to offer financial support to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) for various projects, thereby contributing to innovation and growth. Numerous Euroclusters have already issued calls for SMEs to secure funding for initiatives such as innovation projects, training programs, and matchmaking activities. They have also gained extensive knowledge regarding the challenges present within their ecosystems.
To highlight the progress made by the Euroclusters thus far, the European Cluster Collaboration Platform, acting on behalf of the European Commission’s DG GROW, is organizing the EU Clusters Talk titled “Keeping up with the Euroclusters: Achievements and Lessons Learned.” This event will take place on June 28, 2023, from 8:30 to 9:45 CET. The purpose of this talk is to provide insights into the accomplishments of the Euroclusters, share successful activities undertaken, and reflect upon the lessons learned from the initial calls for SMEs.

One Year of Synchronization – Challenges and Achievements for Electricity Trade between Ukraine and its EU Neighbors
2023-04-20 10:00 - 14:00 (Europe/Kyiv)
This forum marks the one-year anniversary of the synchronization of Ukraine and Moldova with the Continental European power grid. After the successful emergency synchronization on March 16th, 2022, and Ukrenergo’s acceptance as an observer member of the European Network of Transmission System Operators (ENTSO-E) on April 26th, 2022, commercial exchanges of electricity began in June of the same year. However, the export of electricity from Ukraine to Continental Europe was suspended after the first major attacks on energy infrastructure in Ukraine on October 11th, 2022.
Despite the challenges in maintaining the stability of the system, in February 2023, ENTSO-E agreed to increase the commercial power flows to Ukraine/Moldova to 700 MW at all hours. Currently, the trading capacity limit is set at 400 MW from Ukraine/Moldova to Continental Europe and 700 MW in the opposite direction. TSOs will evaluate whether further increases to the trading capacity limits are possible, prioritizing the stability and security of the power system. This increased trading capacity allows for the import of electricity to Ukraine and Moldova, ensuring a reliable electricity supply to consumers.
At the forum, experts will discuss the current state of play in the process, identify further steps needed, and potentially reduce their implementation time. Additionally, they will explore regulatory and technical hurdles that must be addressed before Ukraine can freely participate in the EU Internal Electricity Markets.

EU Clusters Talks: Private financing for clusters and projects: Options to access new funding sources
2023-04-19 08:30 - 09:45 (Europe/Paris)
Europe’s world-class research often struggles to make the transition to commercialisation, leaving start-ups and companies stuck in the metaphorical “Valley of Death.” This gap is caused by a lack of early-stage funding that inhibits the translation of European knowledge into marketable goods and services. The Valley of Death occurs after initial funding ends but before institutional investors are ready to support the market expansion of proven and market-ready products. While the problem still exists, investors and policymakers have started to take notice, and new funding sources such as venture capital, corporate venture capital, business angels, banks, and impact investors are emerging to bridge the gap.

EU Clusters Talks: On the way to sustainability: Raw Materials & Circular Economy
2023-04-05 08:30 - 10:00 (Europe/Paris)
The concept of Circular Economy has become increasingly important for EU industrial development, as natural resources are essential for most industrial value chains. To enhance resource efficiency, it is crucial to close the loop in the different stages of industrial value chains. This focus on circular industrial economy is particularly crucial for regions that are rich in raw materials. The process of reusing resources should begin in the early stages of the production value chain. The circular industrial economy not only promotes environmental issues but also creates emerging business opportunities for the specialized industrial service sector. The tools for developing industrial circular economy solutions include industrial modernization, digitalization, and Industry 4.0.
To learn about the new Critical Raw Materials Act, responsible extraction and valorization of materials, and existing circular approaches and good practices, the European Cluster Collaboration Platform, on behalf of the European Commission, is organizing the EU Clusters Talk “On the way to sustainability: Raw Materials & Circular Economy” on 5 April 2023, from 8:30 to 9:45 CET.
