3. CHALLENGES IN JOINT CLUSTERING
Compete or cooperate – why not combine?
Local, regional, national and international level – Europe vs USA
Comparisson for cooperation – benchmark
We must accept differencies – focus on comparable issues
Learn and implement, not cut and paste
Networking – lasting result of European projects

4. CHALLENGES IN JOINT CLUSTERING
Incresed growth increases opportunities for everyone
Focus on opportunities – not potential obstacles!
A few examples of cooperation between competitors;
* Joint research institute in Kista between Ericsson and Nokia
* Eurooffice – possibilites to get access to offices all over Europé
* European Institute of Technology – Swedish and Finnish joint application with strong support from both the private and the public sector
