2. Rationale
Cluster managements excellence matters
Cluster managements excellence is a promising way to contribute to sustainability
of a cluster
Matured clusters seek for ways to demonstrate excellence towards members,
policy makers, programme owners or the community
Labelling excellent clusters is becoming common practise within
Europe,
• but according to national priorities and national funding schemes !
• An internationally harmonised and recognised approach is missing !!

4. Why Benchmarking ?
Benchmarking of cluster organisations reveals different advantages compared to
other approaches:
Comparison with others
reveals the current position
shows specific strengths and weaknesses
is voluntary and motivates to learn from the best / good practices
provides findings which can be used in the practical work
no good or bad, nor raking or rating
gives interested parties valid information about the competitive position
of a cluster
Results of the benchmarking provide valid input to cluster organisations towards
cluster excellence
