It has been the fourth time the Ministry of National Economy organized Clusters in Europe IV international cluster conference between 30 November and 1 December 2017. 
 
The aim of the conference is to look back on the latest period of over twenty years of the European cluster initiative. What were the causes in various countries, regions of Europe that elicited thinking in networks, with special regard to countries of the Central European region. What are the main lessons, experiences and differences between countries that define today’s cluster policy? In addition, looking into the future we tried to answer the question of what could be the future success factors of networking, what is the role of the human factor behind successful networks, and what could be the future of cluster policy in the period after 2020!
 The conference gave a great opportunity to governmental and regional decision-makers from various countries of Europe, professionals dealing with cluster development, to exchange experiences and good practices on matters of cluster policy. The Ministry of National Economy invited 200 participants from Europe.  
The lectures and panel discussions of the conference focused on the following topics:

• From the very first steps until today - How did we start it and why?
• Success factors of networking in the future - the role of the human factor!
• SME and cluster policy after 2020, with special regard to V4 countries!
• From cooperation between clusters to market success!
• The role of clusters in S3 and in Industry 4.0.
• The „SHE” factor - Women on board

- All three brands would be in focus, not only Kukta (Kukta, Kedvenc Ízek, Bovita).
- The lectures of the invited guests / interviews
- The team building games
- More and more detailed sales data and analyses
- But, above all, we were able to discuss the problems and solutions broken down to a forum-like, MUCH MORE interactive section.
