“TheTCI Network offers the opportunity for deep personal insights intoboth the theory and practical application of clustering, that onefails to get from a report. The individuals that participate in thenetwork share freely of their experience and knowledge, with theadded value that they span the academic, business and public sectorworlds. TCI has been a major factor behind the rapid expansion ofclusters globally, and most importantly, the capability of thevarious practioners that run the programmes in the public or privatesectors. The insights gained through the TCI Network have beeninstrumental in the development of the cluster programme in a placecalled Cape Town at the bottom of Africa, which now has a highlysuccessful cluster portfolio of more than 15 initiatives, with acombined staff of more 80 and is approaching its first decade offormal existence.”

Having been active in TCI Network over several years, wehave gained both valuable information and experiences incluster-based development as well as useful information of potentialmarkets and great contacts all over the world. I had the privilege tobe one of the organisers of the TCI Global Conference in Jyväskylä,Finland, which also brought a new dimension into working with such aglobal network of professionals. But of all, coming to a TCI event –you always feel at home, no matter on which side of the globe youare! :)“
“Having designed and implemented about 20 national cluster competitiveness initiatives in emerging economies and co-authored the World Bank manual on the same subject. TCI also gave me and the many colleagues at J.E.Austin Associates or on or projects from Senegal to Tanzania; from Pakistan to Egypt, an exposure to lessons and approaches in the European Union and Oceania where we have not much worked. These perspectives provided useful cross-fertilization. Seeing regional development as showcased in the conference venues, from Sweden to Portland, has also been most interesting. TCI is a truly collegial, participative organization and i have come to value the professional and personal friendships that have developed from it.“
