What is a cluster?

A cluster is a network composed mainly of companies but also of research centres and public organisations. It is a true ecosystem that brings together all the players in a given sector or sub-sector.

To access each of these networks and enjoy their many advantages, you must become a member and therefore meet certain criteria.

The mission and services of a cluster

The aim of these networks is to increase the competitiveness of companies and support their economic development through innovation.

These networks offer five types of service: networking and knowledge sharing, as well as business support, visibility and internationalisation.

By joining these networks, member companies can:

• expand their network and their opportunities for partnerships and exchanges
• increase their impact through the community
• pool their offers
• access free advice and strategic information
• increase their visibility
• develop new skills
• be inspired by good practice and innovative solutions
• access new markets, including internationally
• dialogue with public authorities

Via hub.brussels, the Region manages six clusters, in the following fields:

• sustainable construction and renovation,
• software publishing,
• audiovisual,
• medical devices and digital health,
• tourism, events and culture,
• the circular economy.
