The European Secretariat for Cluster Analysis

ESCA - The European Secretariat for Cluster Analysis was established by one of the leading German innovation agencies VDI/VDE Innovation + Technik GmbH to offer practical advice to cluster management organizations.

Clusters are complex and dynamic structures that are subject to continous change. Strong clusters can promote economic growth through leveraging the innovation and business potential of a region. New employment opportunities, new products and services, new companies, new R&D activities and new patents can be the result of activities within a cluster. A professional cluster management can contribute to such a development through projects and services that tap the cluster's potential.

ESCA - The European Secretariat for Cluster Analysis wants to promote cluster management excellence through benchmarking of clusters and cluster management organizations.
