ECEI Gold Label

The ECEI GOLD Label “Excel in Cluster Excellence" is awarded to cluster management organisations that demonstrate a high level of professionalism and sophisticated cluster management. Cluster management organisations holding a GOLD Label show their documented commitment towards a continuous improvement of their organisational structures and routines for the benefit of an even higher performance.

In order to qualify for the ECEI GOLD Label, cluster management organisations need to meet certain "levels of excellence" in terms of structure of the cluster, governance, financing, strategy and services and recognition. In the course of a thorough two-day on-site assessment, conducted by two neutral ESCA experts, 31 underlying quality indicators are assessed.

When a cluster organisation obtains the ECEI GOLD label for the first time, it is valid for two years from the month in which the assessment was conducted. Up to one year after a valid GOLD label expires, it can be renewed by repeating the same process. The validity of the label is then seamlessly extended by three years from the previous validity period.
