The EcoCluster Manager Campus is the information and service portal of the EcoCluP initiative that provides all applied, developed or adapted tools and services that aim at supporting the growth and internationalization of eco-innovative companies organised in environmental clusters across Europe’.
It thus specifically addresses other Cluster Managers or cluster organizations that want to use these tools for their own work. Moreover, the services are offered to other innovation experts, consultants, representatives from economic support agencies, local governments and of course research institutes as well as small and medium sized eco-innovative enterprises itself.
