ECCP Logo

Our mission is to be the European online hub for cluster stakeholders (cluster organisations, policymakers and other related stakeholders from the cluster ecosystem) and the reference one-stop-shop for stakeholders in third countries aiming to set up partnerships with European counterparts.


Strengthening the European economy through collaboration

We build on the solid foundations that have already been established by the ECCP merged with the European Observatory for Clusters and Industrial Change (OECIC) and the European Resource Efficiency Knowledge Centre (EREK). Since 2015, the ECCP has acted as a platform for industrial clusters to come together and strengthen the European economy through collaboration. The ultimate impact that we seek is to strengthen the competitiveness and sustainability of Europe’s economy and industry, particularly SMEs, improving their performance in terms of productivity, innovation, internationalisation and resource efficiency.

Providing rich content

The ECCP not only addresses the needs of cluster managements, but also offers rich content for members of cluster organisation, national cluster associations and meta clusters, training providers and cluster policy makers at regional, national or international level. Furthermore, Resource Efficiency Support actors from the previous European Resource Efficiency Knowledge Centre (EREK) have been incorporated into the ECCP. Although the European cluster organisations, by their number and long history of development, make an important part of the platform, ECCP is open and connected to the whole world, with a special focus on certain specific third countries of strategic interest (see International).
