The Railway sector is since ever core to the European Industry and also to the European development in terms of free movement of persons and goods. Its centrality in the EU policies (European Railway Area, TEN-T networks, Railway Packages, ERTMS technology, Shift²Rail JTI, etc.) together with the continuous efforts of the Rail Industries and Operators to improve the quality of trains, infrastructures and the overall system through strong R&D&I well explain the excellence reached by the European Railway sector at global level. The Railway Clusters committed in the PERES project aim at promoting cross-border and cross-sectoral cooperation between SMEs and other relevant stakeholders and to identify the most suitable channels and tools to facilitate their internationalisation processes outside EU.
To do so, PERES aims at intensifying cluster and business network collaboration across borders and sectoral boundaries and supporting the establishment of a long-term European Strategic Cluster Partnership to lead international cluster cooperation in the Rail transport. More precisely, the PERES project aims at supporting preparatory actions for the sound establishment and shaping of the PERES ESCP-4i through the redaction of an internationalization strategy shared among European Clusters and members as an “integral component” of our Clusters’ overall strategies, hence fully coordinated with them.
