SME Cluster Growth is an ERASMUS+ Knowledge Alliance project with nine international partners, established with a mission to empower SMEs in the engineering sector to grow and compete.

The Project aims to help companies develop collaborations across regions, and reach international markets, adopt new systems and technologies, networking, support mutual learning, and increase interaction with universities.

Munster Technological University (MTU) is focussed on the Irish-owned discrete engineering manufacturing sector, particularly (but not exclusively) in the Southern Region (Munster plus Carlow, Kilkenny & Wexford).

The SME Cluster Growth Project Team at Munster Technological University would like to invite you to participate in the project, beginning in September 2022.

The Programme includes (free of charge):

• Training for Senior Personnel
• Networking in Ireland and Abroad
• Expert Presentations
• Access to International Experts
• Company Peer Benchmarking *
• Create a talent pipeline with MTU
• Peer-to-peer support
• Cluster formation support
• Student Consultancy on Company Challenge
• University-Company Change of Perspective Programme
• Access to sectoral advice via the project’s Cluster Council

The Programme is flexible to suit your time constraints. It is not compulsory to take part in all aspects. You can opt-in to selected/preferred elements – ask us for details.

Limited places – reserve early to secure one!
