The tool aims to sustain the connections established during the Cluster Booster Track program and support the construction of a true Mediterranean innovation hub. Later, within the Euromed Clusters Forward project, it was decided to update MAPSTER — recognized as a relevant and strategic networking tool — and rename it Cluster MAP. This update was based on existing lists of Mediterranean clusters, as well as European clusters that participated in various activities of both the Euromed Clusters Forward and THE NEXT SOCIETY programs, such as the Tech Days.

In Summary

The MAPSTER tool was developed in 2021 to map and showcase cooperation between MENA and European clusters. As part of the Euromed Clusters Forward program, MAPSTER was updated and renamed Cluster MAP, becoming a strategic tool to foster networking and ensure the continuity of the collaborations that were initiated.
