Cultivate the European clustering culture with us

Among the 48 European nations composed of hundreds of regions, we speak more than 20 languages. Thus, the European ProClusters Association, EPROCA, has its foundations on a rich variety of local cultures. It is also a recognised associate member of the European Cluster Alliance, ECA, kicked off originally by the European Commission.

The members of EPROCA, who naturally build their joint activities on multicultural and pluridisciplinary cooperation, are committed to integrate the European cluster culture.

Having its foundations on a national-level analysis in 2004 on the need to train innovation and clustering-oriented entrepreneurs, and having been kicked off by a small strategy consultancy in 2005, the European ProClusters Association – EPROCA – included as its founding members the first ever certified ProCluster® facilitators.

Since then, the Association has taken giant leaps, and today, also non-certified ProCluster® facilitators can apply EPROCA membership - we’re always interested in hearing from additional skills and networks to feed the Association’s operations - challenge us by starting from here!

The mission of the Association, shared by its members:

- we foster and enhance the energetic European cluster culture
- we build up competencies of cluster facilitators
- we strengthen up executive skills of cluster practitioners

To reinforce its intercultural networking effects, since early 2009, EPROCA's actions are based on decisions of people coming from 15 countries, many of them also members of The Competitiveness Institute, TCI and Europa InterCluster.
