An assessment focus on:
• Quality of the cluster’s strategy and its implementation
• Animation and governance: private involvement to finance the cluster,
expenditure repartition in the different activities
• R&D capacity: kind and number of projects, actions to facilitate the
emergence of R&D collaborative projects
• Actions in favor of an innovation-friendly ecosystem
• Actions in favor of SMEs growth: contact with investors, skills needs,
infrastructure development, international cooperation, etc.

10. Strong SME involvement:
- 9 700 firms in all, 80% of which are SMEs
- SMEs have benefited from more than 50% of subsidies allocated by the Single
Interministerial Fund
- SMEs lead 45% of projects in 2011
Entrepreneurial spirit: 17% of firms are less than five years old
Increased cluster cooperation
- More and more projects selected by two or more clusters (40% of projects)
- Greater cooperation between thematically similar clusters
- Intersection of different types of clusters: market-targeted clusters (health,
transports, etc.) and technologies-targeted clusters (ICT, materials, etc.)

11. A positive impact of Cluster policy
• 66% of firms create jobs thanks to clusters and 84% maintain jobs
• 60% of firms increase their R&D investments
• At least 1 000 patents and 100 startups thanks to R&D projects (between 2008 and
2011)
• 200 startups creation are linked to the cluster activity
• +4% SMEs annual growth if firm participate to R&D project
A positive impact of public support to R&D
These results should increase in the coming years with the end of more
projects.

12. One goal: to increase economic impacts of the cluster policy
2 means:
– To define a new role for cluster, further than selecting R&D
projects:
support to go to the market
– To increase the cluster support to SMEs growth: contacts
with investors, anticipation of skills needs, export capacity,
etc. .

14. Key learnings
No “one size fits all” approach
Define precisely the objectives and vision of the clusters: innovation ? Business
? Export oriented ?
Build on a private and public sector mobilization both nationally and locally
Aim at building critical masses
Develop the cooperation at all stages: between companies, higher education,
public authorities
Create specific incentives for cooperating
Streamline the innovation process and innovation support and funding entities
It takes time so give time to the process, but review and adapt it progressively
