Trade Team PEI launched a new Cluster Development Program last year and, through an export-driven lens, has explored the practice of ‘clustering for competitiveness’; working together locally to compete globally.  This approach has broad-based economic and business implications that the PEI business community is especially well-positioned to take advantage of.
 
Trade Team PEI is pleased to host Mr. Ifor Ffowcs-Williams of Cluster Navigators from New Zealand in late November.  As part of his program, he is offering an information session specifically tailored to private sector businesses to talk about the practical realities and opportunities of clustering for business growth and competitiveness.  This session will be held on Wednesday afternoon, Nov. 26^th at The Holman Grand Hotel in Charlottetown, PE.
