PThe ICT Pomeranian Cluster functions as a partnership - mutual laws and responsibilities are regu-lated by the "Partnership agreement in terms of the ICT Pomeranian Cluster" signed in Gdańsk on October 29th 2009.
The Pomeranian region constitutes an important center for the country's development concerning the ICT industry. However, in order to constantly strengthen its position, the industry must not only adjust to the changing conditions.
The National Key Cluster (KKK) is a cluster of significant importance for the national economy and high international competitiveness.
The concept of Smart Specializations aims to identify areas with high potential.
The I3HIES project aims to enhance health innovation ecosystems to optimize the effectiveness of the healthcare sector and facilitate efficient international collaboration among key innovation stakeholders. The innovation actors participating in the I3HIES community will be supported i) to prepare innovation investments by facilitating and tutoring the innovation process from ideation through business case design till the preparation for funding, and ii) accelerate the development of validated innovation investments in the thematic priorities, and ii) to enhance interregional cooperation and participation in interregional partnerships and contribute to EU value chains.The immediate goal is to validate 15 project ideas, establish 3 European partnerships and develop the most promising mini-business cases into concrete investment plans, thereby supporting the ongoing transformation of the healthcare sector.
The DESIRE Eurocluster project has been launched on September 1st 2022 and will last 36 months. It is composed by 1 business support organisation and 4 clusters from Austria, France, Romania and Poland. It will address the challenges that SMEs face when accessing the European eHealth and Digital Health Market in order to build resilience and facilitate green and digital transition.In order to reach its objectives, DESIRE will:- Set up a Collaboration Platform as cooperation model involving 100 relevant actors among health care industry, clinical users, health care providers, care sector, private & public health care insurance institutions, government & authorities- Set up a Service Provision Forum as virtual collaboration space and an additional Market Channel hosting information, matchmaking, consultation and trainings- Organise 12 collaboration events targeting SMEs, investors and health industry actors;- Organise 150 bilateral consultation meetings with stakeholders- Organise 4 webinars as trainings for cluster managers to build up capacities and know-how- Create 37 resilience preparedness business continuity plans (1 annotated model RPBC-plan, 1 transnational and 35 SME RPBC plans). In addition, DESIRE will provide a mentoring program (including financial support) to 35 innovative SMEs selected through a Call for application in order to identify at least 15 new-to-company product/service innovations and to adopt 10 business process innovations.The project is funded by the European Union.

INNOLABS project aims to foster collaboration, transfer of knowledge and opportunities among SMEs from different countries and sectors in order to develop, improve and deliver disruptive technologies mainly related to mHealth, personalized healthcare and ageing populations. INNOLABS will select more than 100 innovative project ideas to accelerate and further support monetarily and with innovation services. Starting on the 1st of January 2017, the project has a duration of 2,5 years and is supported by Horizon 2020, the EU Framework Program for Research and Innovation.Funding: European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 691556.
Apprenticeship Cluster for Industry-Ready Engineers of Tomorrow” is an alternative solution to the above challenges and needs since it will provide a new VET-business cooperation structure in Mechanical Engineering with the active involvement of local/regional authorities and social partners, where all will meet and share knowledge, competences and experience to elaborate industry-relevant engineering curricula and produce qualified academic and company mentors. It will target work-based learning focusing on apprenticeship in order to engage all stakeholders in promoting and introducing this approach at tertiary level so as to bridge the gap between education and business, improve relevance of university education to the labour market needs and make available a new generation of industry-ready engineers that are able to meet Industry 4.00 skills demands and raise excellence. Objectives The project “Apprenticeship Cluster for Industry-Ready Engineers of Tomorrow” is an alternative solution to the described challenges and needs since it aims • to establish a new higher education-business partnership structure to bolster the cooperation between technical universities (as VET providers) and enterprises, supported by authorities and social partners, at local/regional level so that they can provide WBL and apprenticeship in the sector of Mechanical Engineering and Mechatronics more successfully at tertiary level; • to provide industry-relevant curriculum in Mechatronics so as to produce industry-ready engineers thus reducing the skills mismatch and facilitating their access to the labour market within the respective regions, which, in the long run, will lead to improving enterprises’ performance and growth, as well as regional development; • to build an effective cooperation structure for sharing knowledge, skills and experience between university teachers and in-company trainers thus improving their competences for the better delivery of apprenticeships. Impact The following impact is expected as regards the different direct target groups: • Better cooperation between universities as VET providers and enterprises in the delivery of WBL and apprenticeship education to engineering students; • More active involvement of regional authorities and social partners in shaping industry-relevant educational provision that best matches regional labour market needs in relation to the priority sector of Mechanical Engineering and Mechatronics; • Provision of industry-relevant WBL curriculum and study programmes, which will help to produce industry-ready engineers in Mechatronis thus facilitating their access to the labour market and easing enterprises to fill their engineering positions so as to boost performance; • Better collaboration between university teachers and in-company trainers to improve their competences thus implementing apprenticeships more successfully. Target groups Direct target groups: • 3rd and 4th – year students following a bachelor degree course in Mechatronics; • enterprises in the sector of Mechanical Engineering and Mechatronics; • university teachers; • in-company trainers. Indirect target groups: • employers’ organizations; • workers’ organizations; • local/regional authorities; • VET – providers; • Policy and decision makers. Funding: Erasmus+ Programme
