May 2011 : The Firt Plant InterCluster meeting
The Plant InterCluster, is hosting a gathering of 22 international clusters from 15 countries, mainly in North and South America and Europe, at France's Ministry of Finance on the 25 and 26 May.
This opening meeting has a dual objective: to lay down the architecture for an operational international network, and to exchange and present French industry developments to clusters from other countries, particularly in the fields of agroecology in fruit and vegetable production, the eco-extraction of plants and plant extracts and varietal innovation to develop plants with natural resistance to bioagressors.
These meetings are a first step only; the consortium's ambition is to lay down the architecture for a global network to promote:
- exchanges of best practicesin innovation governance, emergence and support and to envisage,
- technological cooperation and partnershipsfor innovation, and in particular to identify complementary international partners in order to remove technological bottlenecks
- international business opportunities (prospection and commercial ventures).
