Strategic Training for Project Managers

Two weeks ago, the Strategic Training for Project Managers kicked off, an annual initiative organized by ACCIÓ within the framework of the Catalonia Clusters Program.

Sixteen Catalan clusters traveled to the Skåne region (Sweden) to learn firsthand about its innovation ecosystem. From the city of Malmö, we took part in various visits, talks, and activities aimed at sharing experiences and best practices in cluster management. Representing the Tech Tourism Cluster was our colleague Sílvia García.

🗺️ The opening day began with a contextual session on how regions foster sustainable and digital innovation through strategy, collaboration, and talent.

We delved into Skåne’s regional innovation strategy, and ACCIÓ shared the Catalan experience in building competitiveness through Catalonia’s clusters.

🤝 In the morning, we explored the role of clusters, academia, and public institutions in generating innovative impact, alongside a first collaborative workshop that encouraged connection among participants.

🏙️ In the afternoon, we visited Media Evolution, a collaborative space and project that supports companies, organizations, and universities, and has become a meeting point for Skåne’s creative and technological ecosystem.

💡 The session continued with presentations from several regional clusters, including OpenTech (technology), Sustainable Business Hub (smart and sustainable cities), and Game Habitat (video game industry).

The day concluded with a second participatory workshop, where we explored initiatives related to the twin transition, green and digital, as well as potential avenues for collaboration between Catalonia and Skåne.

🌍 This first day left us with an inspiring perspective on how international cooperation can strengthen the competitiveness of our clusters and drive sustainable innovation across all sectors.
