ENDR-European Network of Defence related Regions
First ECCP C2Lab, focus on Comprehensive Security in Kuopio
ENDR „European Network of Defence related Regions“
Dieses Netzwerk ist ein Zusammenschluss von regionalen Behörden und Clustern, die sich zum Austausch von Erfahrungen und bewährten Verfahren treffen. Es konzentriert sich auf die Einbeziehung des Verteidigungssektors in die Strategien zur intelligenten Spezialisierung (RIS3) und auf den Zugang zu EU-Fördermitteln, damit verteidigungsbezogene KMU die auf regionaler und europäischer Ebene angebotenen Finanzierungsinstrumente und -programme voll nutzen können.

Dual-Use-Technologien haben sowohl militärische als auch zivile Anwendungen und finden sich in einer Vielzahl von Sektoren wie Energie, Kommunikationstechnologien, Luft- und Raumfahrt, Textilien und Chemikalien. Das Endziel des ENDR ist es, die Zahl der verteidigungsbezogenen Projekte, die Zugang zu EU-Mitteln erhalten, zu erhöhen und so zum Wirtschaftswachstum und zur regionalen Entwicklung in Europa beizutragen.

You are warmly welcome to join the first ECCP C2Lab ever with the specific focus on Comprehensive Security in Kuopio 29-30 October 2025!
The European Cluster Collaboration Platform, in collaboration with Kuopio Water Cluster, Comprehensive Security Cluster North Savo, SuperEcosystem, BoostECO, Savonia University of Applied Sciences, and North Savo Regional Council, invites you to join the Cluster Summit Finland 2025 on 28 October and the next edition of the Cluster Collaboration Labs (C2Lab) on 29-30 October 2025. The events will take place in Kuopio, Finland, and are a great opportunity to meet, discuss cluster policies, and develop new projects.
The C2Lab covers the theme of Comprehensive Security as introduced by the North Savo Comprehensive Security Cluster, marking the first time this topic has been showcased by a C2Lab. Aligning with comprehensive security, another specific focus for this C2Lab is Water Resilience, a strength within the North Savo region and a cluster with a long, impactful history.
We in the Comprehensive Security Cluster North Savo warmly welcome our ENDR partners to join the C2Lab in Kuopio. This is a great opportunity for the various ENDR partners to join forces in practical project development guided by the unique expertise of the EU and ECCP.
How does the C2Lab work?
The C2Lab is a co-creation space and counts on your active participation. The aim is to develop project ideas for the indicated challenges in discussions with the other participants and build a proposal together. The work initiated at the C2Lab should be further implemented after the lab itself. For the work at the lab, we will provide you with a project canvas and facilitators to help and guide the process.
