DESCRIPTION:Cluster Summit Finland 2025 & Cluster Collaboration Lab (C2Lab) Kuopio\, Finland\nFinland\n28 October 2025 – 30 October 2025\n\n\n\n\n\nDescription\nThe European Cluster Collaboration Platform\, in collaboration with Kuopio Water Cluster\, Comprehensive Security Cluster North Savo\, SuperEcosystem\, BoostECO\, Savonia University of Applied Sciences\, and North Savo Regional Council\, invites you to join the Cluster Summit Finland 2025 on 28 October and the next edition of the Cluster Collaboration Labs (C2Lab) on 29-30 October 2025. The events will take place in Kuopio\, Finland\, and are a great opportunity to meet\, discuss cluster policies\, and develop new projects. \nOn 28 October\, cluster representatives will be joined by key public authorities\, academia\, and companies at the Cluster Summit Finland 2025 to explore cooperation opportunities and build a robust RDI landscape for the future. The inspiring day offers engaging workshops and keynote speeches illustrating regional cluster success stories and describing collaboration with businesses from start-ups to SMEs to multinationals. The Cluster Summit Finland 2025 will be held in English. All C2Lab participants are warmly invited to join the Summit\, immerse into discussions on cluster policy\, and learn about Finnish good practices. \nThe C2Lab itself is a hands-on workshop where you will have the opportunity to meet new collaboration partners\, discuss project ideas\, and initiate partnerships – for example\, to apply together for a European call. Participants could either join with a concrete project proposal or offer their expertise and knowledge by joining forces with others. \nAdditionally\, the Clusters meet Regions in Vaasa\, which will take place on 24-25 September\, provides an opportunity to start discussions on collaborations and continue them in Kuopio. All participants are warmly invited to join the Clusters meet Regions. You can find more information and the registration for the Clusters meet Regions in Vaasa here. \nMore information on the Cluster Summit Finland 2025 will be available soon. \nRegistration\nPlease register here via the B2Match platform. \nThe registration form is both for the attendance of the Cluster Summit Finland and the C2Lab. You can indicate in the form whether you will attend one or both of the events. \nWho can attend the C2Lab?\nThe C2Lab is for companies\, cluster organisations\, research organisations\, actors from the civil society\, and other interested entities who want to join European project consortia. It is open to participants from the European Union and the SMP/COSME countries. \nWhat are the topics of the C2Lab?\nAt the C2Lab\, any topic is welcome and can be proposed during the registration. Given the expertise of the hosts\, this edition of the C2Lab has already identified the following topics for discussion: \n\nWater resilience\nComprehensive security\nCritical raw materials\nAgrifood and food security\nDigital and AI\nEnergy Transition\nOther / Project ideas submitted by participants.\n\nThese focus areas serve as starting points for those participants without any concrete proposals. However\, they are not exclusive. The C2Lab welcomes any project idea\, indifferent to its focus area. During the registration\, participants can submit their ideas and express other topics of interest. \nHow does the C2Lab work?\nThe C2Lab is a co-creation space and counts on your active participation. The aim is to mature project ideas for the indicated challenges in discussions with the other participants and build a proposal together. The work initiated at the C2Lab should be further implemented after the lab itself. For the work at the lab\, we will provide you with a project canvas and facilitators to help and guide the process. \n1. Register\, choose a topic\, and set up your profile  \nWhen registering for the event on the B2Match platform\, participants will choose a topic or submit a project idea they want to work on. \n2. Join the preparatory activities  \nBefore the in-person event\, you have different options to make the most of your participation in the C2Lab: \nShare your ideas in the marketplace \nParticipants are invited to present their ideas or capabilities they can offer for new projects in the so-called “marketplace”. This page is visible to all confirmed participants. They will be able to browse and see what the others bring to the table. \nVirtual networking and booking online meetings \nParticipants have the option to invite others to bilateral meetings to speak about collaboration opportunities\, which can be further explored at the C2Lab. These meetings will take place online on the B2Match platform between registration and the in-person workshop. \nOnline pitching sessions \nConfirmed participants are invited to join two online pitching sessions taking place on 18 September\, 10:00 CET\, and 9 October\, 10:00 CET. The participants have the chance to introduce themselves personally\, and potentially any project ideas\, to the other attendees. This opportunity is a complementary activity to enhance the experience at the C2Lab and to help define working groups. \n3. In-person C2Lab \nParticipants will meet in Kuopio for the Cluster Summit on 28 October (optional) and the C2Lab on 29-30 October 2025. Participants will divide into working groups according to their topic interests and initiate the development of a join project. Each working group will be guided by a facilitator. \nThe goal is to have a project roadmap at the end of the C2Lab that the teams will be able to further implement and bring to a public call or alternative funding opportunities. \nAgenda\nCheck out the agenda for the C2Lab and Cluster Summit Finland 2025. \nTravel information\nKuopio can be easily reached via train or plane from Helsinki.
