1. Notes on preliminary secondary analysis for „maritime clustering“ in the Czech Republic Libor Friedel Director, Centre of Applied Economic Research Member of European Cluster Policy Group

2. Centre of Applied Economic Research Notes concerning data  Data sources  Albertina – Firm Monitor 2008 (NACE rev. 2)  Czech Industry Panorama 2007 (NACE rev. 1)  Limitations  Different approaches in EU-25 what to count under „maritime“ - however an effort towards unification  NACE revisions in the Czech Republic (OKEČ to NACE rev.1 to NACE rev.2)  More difficult to dirref marine equipment etc.

3. Centre of Applied Economic Research Maritime  Building of ships and floating structures  Building of pleasure and sporting boats  Manufacture of engines and turbines, except aircraft, vehicle and cycle engines  Manufacture of plastics and rubber machinery  Manufacture of optical instruments and photographic equipment  Manufacture of communication equipment  Manufacture of electronic components  Water transport  … (has broader/multi-sectoral perspective)

12. Centre of Applied Economic Research CZ conclusions (?)  CZ shipbuilding clustering  ??? – maybe on the CE (land-locked countries) level  More specified CZ country study and/or CE countries study (data unification, primary research)  Opportunity for CZ entreprises in maritime  Hidden potential  To involve themselves more into (european/global) „maritime“ supply chains  More suitable (national/regional) „policy“ to focus better cluster/innovation development/support

14. Perspectives and policy Libor Friedel Director, Centre of Applied Economic Research Member of European Cluster Policy Group

15. Centre of Applied Economic Research Context  EU - Towards the World-Class-Clusters  European Cluster Observatory  European Cluster Memorandum  European Cluster Policy Group (till 9/2009)  INTERNATIONALISATION !!!  Within EU  EU + other countries  CZ clusters/cluster policy needs to act against international isolation

16. Centre of Applied Economic Research Recommendation / Further development  Top-down vs. bottom-up balance  Next „cluster policy“ on CZ national level – relevant to EU context  Call for detailed national study/analysis  Marine equipment/supplies, parts…  „Working group“ towards maritime „cluster initiative“  National (CZ) level and/or international project partnership  Opportunities for project(s)  INTERREG IV ABC (e.g. OP Central Europe), CIP…  Further debate(s)  Specific stream on the Cluster conference at Tomas Bata University in Zlin 5.-6.11.2009  National Cluster Alliance…
