The SME & Clusters Assembly 2026 took place in Dublin from November 2 to 4, 2026. For the first time, the European Commission and the Irish Presidency of the Council combined the SME Assembly and the European Cluster Conference into a single event—under the theme “Connecting for a Competitive Europe.”
On November 3, 2026, Uwe Pfeil moderated the session “Clusters as Investment Hubs” with representatives from the European Commission, the Flemish innovation agency VLAIO, and the Greek cluster organization Corallia. Conclusion: Clusters can act as neutral, trustworthy intermediaries between companies and investors.
The session builds on the work of the EU Expert Group on Cluster Policy, in which Uwe Pfeil co-chairs the working group on this topic.
