About the Shared Island Enterprise Scheme’s Cross Border Networks and Clusters theme
The Shared Island Cross Border Networks and Clusters theme is part of the €30m Shared Island Enterprise Scheme, developed by InterTradeIreland, Invest Northern Ireland and Enterprise Ireland.
Funding of €2m in total (circa £1.8m) has been allocated to support All Island clustering activities including the delivery of the TCI (The Competitiveness Institute) Global Conference.
The agencies have collaborated to conduct a feasibility study that will identify options to:
- Strengthening resources within existing/emerging clusters, potentially extending to support all island supply chain development
- Developing cluster support structures such as skills development
- Exposing clusters on the island of Ireland to international best practice.
