This year’s interactive, participatory conference is dedicated and will focus on topics such as digitalisation and skills gap, circular economy, shared value and social impact.

The 6th edition of the European Cluster Conference will bring together 400 cluster policy-makers, cluster managers, practitioners and other stakeholders. The event is organised by the European Commission's Directorate-General for Internal Market, Industry, Entrepreneurship and SMEs together with Romania, under the Romanian Presidency of the Council of the EU.

• exchange ideas and best practices on how these challenges can be tackled;
• vote the European Cluster Manager of the Year and hear about the European Strategic Cluster Partnerships of the Year and
• team up with others by networking during the conference and engaging in the pre-conference EU matchmaking event.

Participation in the conference will be free of charge. Early registration is advised to ensure registration.
