80% of the companies that are part of a cluster consider that being a member of them better positions them to be able to face the current crisis caused by COVID-19. It is one of the conclusions of a survey carried out by ACCIÓ – the agency for the competitiveness of the company of the Department of Business and Knowledge.
A cluster is a grouping of companies (startups, SMEs and multinationals) and environmental agents (universities and technology centers) in a given economic field that share resources, generate synergies and project themselves internationally. It is an instrument that improves the competitiveness of the members who are part of it by defining joint strategic challenges and the development of transformative projects.
