With a common goal to support the creation of more jobs in Agder, the two largest industry clusters in the region – GCE NODE and Eyde Cluster – met in Kristiansand Friday.

Representing the largest industries in Agder, the administrations of the clusters have a unique understanding of the offshore supplier industry (GCE NODE) and the process industry (Eyde Cluster).

“It is always useful to meet to discuss common issues and challenges. We have ongoing joint initiatives, such as NODE Eyde Women and the Global Outlook conference during Arendalsuka – and we are always keen on learning from each other,” says Helene Fladmark, Managing Director of Eyde Cluster.

“Being the two dominant clusters, GCE NODE and Eyde are important instruments for growth in Agder. By coordinating our efforts and learning from each other, we are able to maximize the value added to all companies participating in the clusters,” says Knut Mjåland, CEO of GCE NODE.
