Framework of Flemish cluster policy needs deepening

Social partners formulated additional remarks on the further implementation and the general framework of the Flemish cluster policy. The areas of concern align with the previous SERV advice on the concept note on the cluster policy (September 2015). Social partners claim attention for the social evaluation criteria, for concrete incentives aimed at innovation of company networks and cutting edge clustering, for the formal criteria for cluster organizing, the representativity of the cluster organization, the range and the content of the competitivity program versus the action plans…SERV is in favour of rapid operationalizing and is ready to give advice on the firsts implementation decisions. The legal procedure should be concluded timely so that the decree can enter into force.
