GEORG took part in a Nordic-German-Polish (NGP) Cluster Excellence Project on Benchmarking of clusters in cooperation with Rannís.   Two members of the board participated in an interview conducted by Dr. Gerd Meier zu Köcker,
Managing Director of the Agency Competence Networks Germany.

The NGP Cluster Excellence Project was implemented by the Agency of the German cluster initiative "Kompetenznetze Deutschland" on behalf of the Danish Agency for Science, Technology and Innovation (DASTI) and the German Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology (BMWi) from October 2010 to July 2011. Within this project 147 clusters from Austria, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Iceland, Norway, Poland and Sweden were analysed. Data analysis was performed between November 2010 and June 2011.

GEORG got a fairly good outcome in this benchmarking, with valuable recommendations on how to improve the management of the cluster cooperation.

Based on the benchmarking GEORG received a Bronze Label Certificate on Cluster Management Excellence.
