Romanian Cluster Competitiveness Platform

Welcome to the Romanian Cluster Competitiveness Platform!

The Competitiveness Assessment gives your cluster a clear picture of your standing in terms of innovation, internationalisation, organisational structure etc. It offers you useful advice for improving the management capacity and the spectrum of services rendered to your members.

The Romanian Cluster Competitiveness Platform proposes an integrated approach harmonising theoretic considerations and practical aspects of utility aiming at becoming an useful tool for the generation of competitive clusters based on innovation and internationalisation (1); an instrument to measure cluster competitiveness and a consultancy tool (2); a way to evaluate performance of the cluster management team (3); a flexible method allowing assessments both at cluster level and at the level of each member. The evaluation methodology considers both quantitative and qualitative aspects, taking into considerations various indicators such as turnover, exports, employment, innovation (quantitative) and geographical concentration, labour force, strategy, internationalisation and cooperation (qualitative).Qualitative aspects play a validation role, after answers given by peers are being digitalised. In the end, an analogical cluster function is being calculated. As data flow in, the function autocorrects itself in order to give accurate results. Results are being interpreted and recommendations are being provided.
