Working groups
Cluster working groups are established by the Administrative Committee on the basis of the Statutes. The establishment of a working group is possible under the conditions when the cluster finds that it needs to develop a certain area or activity in order to fulfil its objectives.
Each working group is managed by a leader who is responsible for its activities and planned activities. The groups meet a maximum of 6 times a year, and minutes of each meeting are taken and made available to the Cluster Manager or the Administrative Committee.
The working groups are made up of representatives of member companies who participate in their activities according to their interests, discretion and time availability. Membership is voluntary, free of charge and open to any member company.
There are currently 3 groups working in CLUTEX:
- Research and Development Working Group
- International Projects Working Group
- Marketing Working Group
A group of companies in the armaments industry is still working according to the current needs of the members within the Marketing Working Group.
The Research and Development Working Group is led by Mgr. Eva Dvořáková. It usually meets in one of the member companies, where an excursion is organized followed by a discussion of the R&D projects. The group deals with R&D topics, which are then transformed into projects on which member companies collaborate with each other.
The working group for international projects works under the leadership of Ing. Petra Dufková. The main activity of this group is cooperation on international projects in which the cluster is either a partner or coordinator. Part of the work of this group is also building a network of international contacts, which can then be used by members for their own projects or cooperation.
The marketing working group is led by Ing. Ladislava Zaklova and is focused on the promotional activities of the cluster and its members. The group organizes joint participation in selected trade fairs and exhibitions both in the Czech Republic and abroad. It also deals with the possibilities of promotion in printed or electronic media. The members here also collaborate on the production of the Membership Newsletter.
