About us

Thuringian ClusterManagement

Together, we are driving innovation in Thuringia: As Thuringian Cluster Management (ThCM), we support companies, research and science institutions in Thuringia to work better together. In doing so, we manage the implementation process of the Regional Innovation Strategy for Smart Specialisation and Economic Change in Thuringia (RIS Thüringen).

Our experienced field of specialisation managers work closely with stakeholders from business, academia and intermediaries to advance the development of the fields of specialisation. Our aim is to forge sustainable links between a wide range of disciplines and actors who together expand, strengthen and inspire innovation in Thuringia.

In addition to organising and implementing events, workshops and trade fairs, we support clusters and networks in raising their profile. We provide information about current funding programmes of the region, the federal government and the EU and accompany projects from their idea to the funded project. In doing so, we support the stakeholders in initiating, moderating and coordinating strategically important projects.
