Desert Knowledge Australia’s Linked Business network Programme is building linkages within four sectors at three levels.

Following Ifor Ffowcs-Williams’ participation at a cluster training workshop held in Johannesburg, four IT firms in Cape Town invited Ifor to lead a first cluster workshop.

Ifor Ffowcs-Williams supported Saican to identify Trinidad & Tobago’s priorities for investment attraction and to accelerate the development of an enabling environment to support the short listed clusters.

Forestry had been identified as one of four cluster priorities for Scotland, with a doubling of timber resource coming on stream.

Cluster Navigators were part of a team established by Saican, Canada (hot link to this partner) to evaluate the merits and practicalities of introducing a cluster based approach to address the competitiveness of Bangladesh’s knitwear sector.
