Cluster Development

Cluster Development is one of EDII’s niche areas. The Institute is engaged in revitalization of industrial and artisanal clusters. The Institute implements cluster development model with the objective of stimulating dormant clusters by intervening in the areas of production, technology, marketing, skill development, export promotion, design development, improving access to finance etc. In order to impart sustainability to the effort, EDII also exposes the clusters under intervention to international markets, processes and experiences.

In the past, EDII has undertaken the following activities to strengthen clusters. Around this time, UNIDO came out with its 3-phase training model to develop Cluster Development Agents.  The Institute in collaboration with UNIDO carried out a number of Cluster Development Agents that later rechristen as Cluster Development Executives (CDEs) and created a cadre of executives’ to address the issues that affect the growth of different clusters in the country.

Cluster Development

Cluster Development Programme (CDP) has become one of the most effective instruments to ensure survival and growth of existing micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs). Experience shows that successfulimplementation of the Cluster Development Programme (CDP) could help MSMEs to improve their business performance, adopt appropriate technology, improve quality and productivity, increase turnover and export, and improve HR and overall management efficiency. Joint initiatives nurtured under CDP could help the cluster firms go for value addition, product customization, brand building, and improvement of marketing and export performance. This would ensure their holistic development and contribute towards Local Economic Development (LED). These efforts are needed to enhance competitiveness of the cluster MSMEs and make them stand tall in the globalized economy.
