By sharing and enhancing knowledge, being an arena for interaction, initiating cross-sector collaboration and innovation projects, and creating commercial opportunities, our aim is to strengthen innovation capacity on behalf of our cluster members. Thus, resulting in scalable solutions, new business opportunities and knowledge-based jobs that benefit both people and the planet.

We mainly work within the areas active citizenship and knowhow, mobility, urban energy and spaces and places. In addition to cluster projects, we enable change through Innoasis and the Expo.
