The Europe 2020 strategy sets ambitious objectives to create smart, sustainable and inclusive growth in the EU by 2020, including reducing greenhouse gas emissions and increasing energy efficiency, employment, innovation, education and competitiveness. The Virtuelle Cluster Initiative aims to assist these targets by providing an innovative virtual framework using technologies like video conferencing to help SMEs collaborate more productively across borders, reducing costs like travel while increasing productivity, process efficiency and economic opportunities on a global scale.
