The Clusters Meet Regions event in Rzeszów, Poland will take place on 3-4 June 2025, hosted by the Local Government of the Podkarpackie Region in collaboration with the European Cluster Collaboration Platform (ECCP) on behalf of the European Commission. This event is part of the broader Clusters Meet Regions series, which aims to strengthen the role of clusters in regional economic development by fostering collaboration between clusters, policymakers, businesses, and research institutions.

With a strong industrial base, the Podkarpackie Region has positioned itself as one of leaders in aerospace and advanced manufacturing, with clusters playing a crucial role in these sectors. The event will provide a unique opportunity to explore the innovation ecosystem in the Podkarpackie Region and highlight the role of clusters in boosting regional competitiveness, supporting smart specialisation, and advancing the green and digital transitions. It will also offer an excellent opportunity to discuss about security and dual-use technology and developments in the drone industry.
