Clusters and business support organizations are facilitators for development of emerging industries and springboards for fostering SMEs internationalization.

The smart green technologies encompass all industrial and human activities which generate positive impact to the environment applying Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). Today, traditional manufacturing industries as automotive and renewable energy should find smart solutions to answer to global environmental challenge they face by applying ICT. The GIVE partnership will be based on cross-clusters, cross- border, and cross - regional and cross - industry collaboration.
