The Cluster for Logistics
The Maritime Cluster is one of the seven founding members of the Cluster for Logistics Luxembourg a.s.b.l which was created in June 2009. The other six institutional partners are the Chamber of Commerce of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, the Luxembourg Confederation of Commerce, the Business Federation Luxembourg, the National Agency for Innovation and Research, the Public Research Centre Henri Tudor and the University of Luxembourg.
The objectives of the Cluster for Logistics aim to strengthen Luxembourg as a centre for logistics and include:
- The creation of an information exchange platform in order to intensify synergies and collaborations between the different industry players.
- Supporting research development and innovation initiatives in the Logistic sector drives the development of new products and services.
- Assisting the Government by creating proposals to improve the regulatory, administrative and legislative framework in Luxembourg
- Enhance offer and ease access to education, professional and continuous training in the fields of logistics
As the objectives are numerous, the work of the Cluster for Logistics is organised into four working groups which bring together its members that share a special interest or competence in a specific field. Three groups have already started their work in 2008:
- Training and Education Working Group, which has been started to identify and to assess the already existing education and training programs with the aim of finding out the additional needs for the present and the future
- The Innovation Working Group, which is already conducting interviews with the leading companies in the logistic sector in order to detect technological and non technological projects capable of serving as a tool for creating added-value
- The Regulation Working Group, where several meetings with leading companies ,as well as public and private institutions are settled up in cooperation with the Government of Luxembourg in order to assess the current legal and regulatory framework and to identify company needs and requirements.
