Creation of the policy, dialog with public

I work at Governmental executive agency (PARP), in the Centre for Green and Digital Transition, where I build the system of cooperation between clusters, and the Agency and clusters, European Digital Innovation Hubs and certified Innovation Centres. Before that I spent over eight years in PARP's Department for Analysis and Strategy, designing and running cluster policy instruments in Poland. I am a member of the European Commission's Expert Group on Cluster Policy (DG GROW), where I co-lead a working group on the impact, visibility and contribution of clusters to EU competitiveness.

What I can offer

- Measurement and benchmarking. I coordinated three editions (2020, 2022, 2024) of the Polish cluster benchmarking study, and since 2020 I have worked on making its results useful to cluster managers and businesses, not only to analysts. I can share the method, the lessons from three cycles and the practical problems with data quality and comparability. I also contribute to the EU-level discussion on a Cluster Impact Score.

- Non-financial support for clusters. Formats tested in Poland: business speed-dating between clusters and local governments, meetings that bring consortia together around new technologies, webinars and "clusters for clusters" handbooks.

- Public policy at regional and national level. Experience in designing cluster policy, in the national working group on cluster policy at the Ministry of Economy, in entrepreneurial discovery processes for smart specialisation, and in two EU projects: ClusterFY (Interreg Europe) and CAFEIN (Horizon 2020, Advisory Board member).

- Knowledge exchange. Speaker, trainer and panellist at national and international events, including the TCI Global Cluster Conference (2024, 2025) and the European Cluster Conference 2024. Working languages: English and French.

W_hat I would like to receive_

- Comparable examples from other countries and regions of how cluster impact is measured, and which decisions the results feed into.

- Experience from agencies that deliver non-financial support to clusters: which services clusters use and which they ignore.

- Peer views on our benchmarking method, and partners willing to test common indicators across borders.

- Practices for a structured dialogue between policymakers, clusters and companies.
