In their presentations, cluster representatives provided information about the concept of clustering, models in the world and in our country, firms in the value chain, collaborative organizations, and ongoing projects. They stated that firms being part of a specific cluster facilitates access to information and technology, enables them to establish relationships with other institutions, and allows them to create horizontal and vertical connections among themselves.
The program, which also included sectoral analyses, conveyed the message that cluster studies focus on domestic production. The role of clusters in the economic development and employment efforts of regions was also discussed, and the final part of the program listed important points to consider when choosing a career and applying for jobs.
