DESCRIPTION:The Lower Austrian Minister for Business and Technology Dr. Pet
 ra Bohuslav and the Regional Business Agency ecoplus kindly invite you to 
 a business lunch where the results of the survey "The Economic Significanc
 e of Lower Austrian Clusters " will be presented.               With this 
 event we are aiming at contributing evidence based results and experiences
  in regional smart specialisation to the development of EU innovation poli
 cy 2013+.The recent survey "The Economic Significance of Lower Austrian Cl
 usters" carried out by the Economica Institute for Economic Research demon
 strates that the overall economic effect triggered by collaborative Lower 
 Austrian Clusters projects\, combining both direct and multiplier value ad
 ded effects\, comes to €27.3 million. The total value added effect of Lowe
 r Austrian Clusters\, calculated as the sum of direct and multiplier value
  added effects in Lower Austria\, rest of Austria\, and abroad\, is €47.8 
 million. The total employment effect is 624 annual jobs\, also expressed a
 s 560 full-time equivalents (FTE).Providing facts & figures it shows that 
 the Lower Austrian Clusters\, co-funded by ERDF Regional Competitiveness a
 nd Employment\, play an important role in developing the regional economy 
 and contribute to regional smart specialisation.The presentation will be f
 ollowed by a reception.Background: Based on the Lower Austrian Regional In
 novation Strategy ecoplus since 2001 has been developing and managing clus
 ter initiatives in five future industries (green building\, plastics\, foo
 d\, mechatronics\, logistics) and a horizontal initiative on electric mobi
 lity.At present\, over 640 companies and research institutions (520 SME) w
 ith overall more than 72\,000 employees and a total turnover of 23.5 billi
 on EUR are participating in the clusters. Since 2001 up until today\, 345 
 multi-firm projects have been realized with the help of the cluster manage
