Supply Network Shannon is delighted to announce that the network has been successful in securing Phase 1 of the Pilot Clustering Programme - Feasibility / Scoping Study Phase.
The Pilot Clustering Programme aims to support industry-led groups to maximise the benefits of collaborative opportunities. Collaborating with other companies provides the opportunity to access customers, research facilities, technical knowledge and markets that would be outside the capability or scope of a business working alone. The potential benefits to companies expected from involving themselves in industry-led clustering activities includes, but is not limited to:
- increased productivity and company income
- increased market share
- increased innovation and knowledge transfer
- enhanced capability
The pilot programme provides businesses with the opportunity to undertake time limited clustering initiatives whilst enabling them to leverage external expertise, share knowledge, resources and risk, and build capability and capacity.
In phase 1, we have been asked to nominate five companies to participate in the feasibility study. The five companies will prove the formula proposed for Phase 2 of the programme.
The companies have formed the SNS Manufacturing Group and are activilty pursuing business for the cluster and in doing so, if successfully, will allow us to bring the cluster programme to the entire network.
The nominated companies are Aaron PCB, iqFix, Prolimax, RTR Electronics and Thormac.
