Welcome to the TCI Knowledge Portal!

There exists an increasing need for knowledge in the cluster community. Despite a growing number of quality resources that are available including the Internet and published references, an optimum resource has never been established for members of the TCI community. This knowledge gap is worldwide, concerning information about other clustering development initiatives and policies carried out in global regions.
The Clustering Knowledge Service (CKS) initiative is designed to gather exactly this type of invaluable knowledge. Detailed information about developed clustering practices all over the world will be accessible to every TCI member and other cluster practitioners via a common repository. By facilitating such a tool, TCI has taken the next step in fostering knowledge throughout the cluster practitioners network.
The Cluster Knowledge Portal is divided into two sections: a Cluster Initiatives Database and a Virtual Library containing information about clustering and regional development topics. - Furthermore, TCI will soon be launching on-demand research services; searching, selecting and summarizing information on specific topics of interest for TCI members.

In our Virtual Library you can find comprehensive knowledge about cluster related issues. It gathers a wide range of documents, presentations and articles as well as a compilation of links to cluster portals, relevant organizations and associations active in cluster and regional development. The structure of the Library will guide your research giving you also access to further knowledge sources. The Cluster Initiative Database provides basic information on the Initiatives contributed by cluster practitioner's worldwide (e.g. description of the projects, sector, type of initiative, key indicators such as total sales) giving premium access to our members to a contact person familiar with the cluster initiative. Herein exits the true potential as it allows for the database to be used as a gateway to reach other practitioners that are knowledgeable about specific initiatives.

Please contact us if you have any question.
