The objectives of ACENET are……

  1. Developing joint body of understanding of how clusters and company networks can be stimulated, developed and promoted. E.g. by creating a concrete action frame of reference explaining how the different success factors interact.
  2. Increase motivation to integrate competence and resources from outside the region. E.g. by better knowledge about available resources in member regions.
  3. Define and communicate regional profiles. Expected achievements are definition of each regions strategy and focus regarding innovation and clusters as well as higher image and reputation of the member regions, also among non-member regions.
  4. Facilitate and foster communication and co-operation between cluster companies, e.g. by establishing and/or developing cluster internal communication systems.
  5. Secure long-term commitment and continuous further development of clusters and company networks. E.g. by implementing a monitoring system demonstrating progress and benefits for the member regions.
