Strong regional clusters

The Region Västra Götaland also makes special efforts to create new enterprises. Seed financing is one example offering an opportunity for further development to recently established enterprises of technology and high-level know-how. An objective of strong priority is financially sustainable new enterprises in nine internationally competitive clusters. In this context, a cluster is a concentration of enterprises with skills and offers of services and products that complement and support each other. The areas of priority are Västra Götaland’s strong points: bio-medicine and health issues, vehicles, IT, consumables, petrochemistry, textiles, wood and the adventure industry. The participating enterprises, research units and public actors coordinate the identification and financing of areas of priority. Cooperation of this kind is typical of cluster development.
