HOW IS A CLUSTER FORMED?

Cluster: the organised form

of an established industry

concentration.

Triple-helix structure =

research + industry + public

Stronger together! Since 2009

The European Aerospace Cluster Partnership

This year we are celebrating 5 years of EACP, a success story ready to be transferred to other sectors or regions.

WHAT IS EACP?

EACP is a network of Cluster Managers who aim to

Improve cluster management and member services (best practice)

Learn about market development (EU and International)

Establish an international network for fast and easy exchange

Team up for joint projects (c2c level)

Set up business and research opportunities for cluster members (b2b level)

Influence EU policy (design of calls, funding requirements, …)

Promote regional competences and capabilities

MEMBERS OF THE EACP

WHY SHOULD WE COOPERATE?

Regional activities need to be coordinated better!

Strong interaction on local level requiredTransparency who offers which service (POC)

Best Practice

Identification of gaps cross-sectoral cooperation

CROSS-CLUSTER & CROSS-REGIONAL COLLABORATION

With the EACP we also established a best practice in the field of cross

regional cluster cooperation. The EACP networking hub gives the

European aerospace clusters a permanent platform for information

exchange, policy studies and mutual cooperation.

The EACP aims at initiating an active exchange of information and

knowledge between all partners and at developing and realizing concrete

steps for long-term trans-national cooperation between clusters and

companies for a stronger and more competitive European position in the

world aerospace markets.

The EACP is organized as a partnership based on a Letters of Intent. It

provides the opportunity for each member to participate in one or several

working groups

Context

Objectives 2020 and ICAO standards:

• Reduction by 50% of carbon dioxide (CO2)

• Reduction by 80% of NOx during take-off

and landing and by 5g/kg fuel burnt under

cruise conditions

• Reduction by 50% of perceived noise

• Aircraft recycling and green maintenance

1. Aeronautics research agenda

2. European cluster policy

3. Smart specialization of Regions

Three main drivers :

24.11.2014 | Page 1924.11.2014 | Page 19Grant Agreement 286560

Context

Increasing workload for production and

throughput to meet clients’ demand

Difficulty to hire RTD engineers

No time to think about RTD priorities and look

for innovation funding at EU level

4. SMEs do not innovate enough

to stay competitive on the long run

keep their position in the supply chain

And another « down-to-earth » driver :

24.11.2014 | Page 2024.11.2014 | Page 20

Increase competitiveness of European companies

Increase the environmental living standard for

European citizens

Compete in global markets

R+D+I oriented clusters must join forces, challenges will not be solved by

aerospace Clusters alone and require cross-cutting collaborations

Cluster members look for European partners and funds

The EC and the regions are engaged in the definition of “smart specialisation”

CARE can be considered as a “Regional input” for the European “Horizon 2020”

research and innovation framework on green air transport.

CARE General Objectives

24.11.2014 | Page 2124.11.2014 | Page 21Grant Agreement 286560

CARE Challenges

1. More energy efficient airborne systems: “greener” engines, lighter aero-structures,

alternative fuels, more electric aircraft equipment, etc.

2. Eco-Design improving the environmental impact of the whole product life cycle

3. Greener Air traffic management; capabilities for "green" trajectories and missions

4. The territorial integration of air transport into an efficient and green multimodal

transport system

Four major technological challenges

for aerospace research during the upcoming decade(s) in order to shape future competitive and sustainable European economic growth:
