From 1st September 2022, 30 Euroclusters have been launched to implement the EU Industrial Strategy. Euroclusters are cross-sectoral, interdisciplinary and trans-European strategic initiatives of industry clusters and other economic actors such as research organisations and companies.

€42 million from the Single Market Programme have been allocated to this first wave of Euroclusters, composed of 171 partners, covering 23 different countries and all 14 industrial ecosystems. 

Two Euroclusters are active in the aerospace and defence ecosystem: METASTARS brings together four clusters to reinforce the growth of this ecosystem whereas LEVIATAD aims at creating the 1st Eurocluster of Excellence on Naval Defence.
