In ASPICE we have tried to
share best practice

The ASPICE proposition
Empower cluster managers /members
To propose innovative solutions to key societal needs
Employ traditional matchmaking to build relationships and
value chains based on trust
Use on-line tools to rapidly assessregions of specialisation
(heat maps)
Progress opportunities & competitiveness

Photonics EEN profiles
Need to increase the overlap

Challenge
An appropriate sustainable on-line tool on which clusters work with members to upload company profiles at every opportunity.
