Bayerisches Staatsministerium für Wirtschaft, Infrastruktur, Verkehr und Technologie Cluster Management: Four Main Tasks I. Promote and support a network of contacts II. Isolate the most rewarding fields of work III. Initiate cooperation projects IV. Act as an interface to „Invest in Bavaria“ and to international business development support 24
Bayerisches Staatsministerium für Wirtschaft, Infrastruktur, Verkehr und Technologie Main Task I Promote and support a network of contacts u Cluster management has to provide a platform for knowledge exchange u Example Cluster Medical Technology: contact for SME producing surviellance cameras, with university for applied sciences and a clinc. Example shows that especially SME profit from clustering 25
Bayerisches Staatsministerium für Wirtschaft, Infrastruktur, Verkehr und Technologie Main Task II Isolate the most rewarding fields of work u With the help of working groups and boards the clusters specialize in fields which are most rewarding to companies u Example Cluster Biotechnology: Development of field „white biotechnology“, 5 Mio. Euro grant of federal money to develop this field 26
Bayerisches Staatsministerium für Wirtschaft, Infrastruktur, Verkehr und Technologie Main Task III Initiate cooperation projects u Cooperation projects are the most direct form of knowledge exchange between business and science u Set up of a special funding sheme exclusively for the Bavarian clusters u Cluster managements face competition with others for the best projects u Volume: 30 Mio. Euro 27
Bayerisches Staatsministerium für Wirtschaft, Infrastruktur, Verkehr und Technologie Main Task IV International Visibility u Act as an interface to „Invest in Bavaria“ and to international business development support u Example aerospace: Aquiring trade fare for aerospace testing to Munich u International Cooperation u Examples Exchange with Madrid and France 28
