Sustainable Cluster Management - Research-Based Innovation in Energy and Environmental Efficiency Through Sustainable Cluster Management in Production and Logistics

The research network is thematically oriented on trans-national elaboration of cooperative solution for valueadded processes in port areas and hinterland corridors in the sense of “learning regions” and “coopetition” (the tension between cooperation and competition). The participants are mainly based in the Pan-Beibu-Gulf region emerging around the Pan-Beibu Gulf, which acts as an important hub connecting China and the ASEAN countries.
