"CLUSTERS: Meeting the challenge of globalisation"
Cape Town, South Africa. 29-31 October 2008


We are very much looking forward to welcoming you to Cape Town. The local team leaded by TCI Director, Nigel Gwynne-Evans has a fabulous itinerary lined up: a one-week programme beginning with cluster tours, the best chance to learn from 4 succesful cluster initiatives in hig-tech, agri-processing, manufacturing & engineering and creative industries; the Clusters 101 course, a half-day introduction to clusters by cluster experts; the regional approach to competitiveness with regional sessions on India, Latin-America and PACF-Pan African Competitiveness Forum; and the Academic Summit that this year will run for two days alongside the main programme. We already have over 70 speakers from 23 countries participating including many well known and highly respected specialists involved in clusters and economic development. And of course, the social functions will be guaranteed to provide a wonderful African and Cape-Townian experience. Don't miss this great opportunity to join us at TCI 2008 to share ideas, build alliances and explore the latest trends and best-practices on competitiveness and innovation.
