The main idea of the project is to map the possibilities for cluster development of small and medium size enterprises and entrepreneurs in the cross-border region engaged in the food production and the renewable energy sectors in order to enhance long term competitiveness and sustainable development of the cross-border region. This will contribute to the encouragement of cross-border dialogue, cooperation and common exploitation of economic opportunities in the cross-border area. The project proposal envisages conducting a research that will help to define the basic factors which are essential to the establishment and development of clusters in the food production and renewable energy sectors and also to draw up the necessary activities for improvement of their actual functioning. The idea is to create an environment in which enterprises cooperate with their cross-border counterparts in order to learn from good practices and experiences of others and to have joint access to bigger and more developed markets. The conducted research will map the concentration and systemic relationships among food industry enterprises in the cross-border region as well as possibilities to create efficient cross-border clusters of food production enterprises and biomass producers. The results of the research will be published in a form of a trilingual study (Serbian, Hungarian, English) and it will serve as a guideline and a practical tool for policymakers and stakeholders in the region for generating and implementing cluster initiatives in the food production and renewable energy sectors. Once the study is published, an awareness raising campaign will be conducted on both sides of the border to present the possibilities and benefits of cross-border clustering in these sectors. Therefore, 4 seminars will be organized in the cross-border region (two in each countries). Moreover, the project envisages strengthening the capacities of employees in the Chambers of economy in order to support clustering initiatives of their member enterprises.A selected group of employees from both Chambers will participate in 4 organized workshops related to innovative approaches in cluster formation and management aswell as fostering international cooperation. Additionally, an exchange of experience and good practices will be available through two study visits which will be organized for Serbian stakeholders. During the first study visit Serbian stakeholders will establish business contacts with representatives of the food production sector in order to exploit the possibilities of clustering in this sector. The second study visit will be organized for representatives of the renewable energy sector to visit and existing biomass cluster in Hungary and get acquainted with its functioning as well. At the end of the project, Hungarian stakeholders will visit Serbia and participate in an international conference on clusters which will be and opportunity to strengthen cross-border cooperation. Achievements: A Study "Food Industry ClusterPerspectives" the trilingual Study on food industry clustering perspectives was published and distributed at the final conference.; 101 established links between crossborder counterparts
