International Cleantech Network

Clusters

ICN’s network consists of 22 clusters on 4 different continents. The ICN clusters are typically based on a triple-helix structure, meaning that their membership consists of companies (primarily SMEs), public authorities, and research institutions. This ecosystem consists of 130+ public authorities, 120+ knowledge institutions and 3500 SMEs.
Knowledge exchange is a core part of the ICN’s value. It is optimized through thematic focuses in ICN operations and can be used as a tool to grow into new regions through capacity building of candidate member organizations.The ICN provides a unique platform that allows members to engage in project discussions with other clusters in order to form or join a project consortium.
