The aim of European cluster policy is to promote the development of world-class clusters with competitive industrial value chains that cut across sectors, similar to the "European Silicon Valleys" referred to in the White Paper on the Future of Europe.
EU cluster policy brings together several policy domains and policy levels. Cluster policy is not only a tool for the EU industrial policy strategy, but foremost for regional and national innovation strategies. This input paper highlights how the orientation of EU cluster policies has shifted towards facilitating industrial change and accelerating SME growth.
