RedLAC – TCI Latin American Cluster Network
www.clusters.la
The RedLAC promotes an ongoing dialogue and effective exchange of tools and experiences among practitioners and their
institutions towards economic development in Latin America. It consists of more than 500 members, mostly representatives of cluster
organizations, entrepreneurs and consultants. Colombia, Mexico and Chile are the most active countries. The CLACs, TCI Latin American
Cluster Conferences, are the annual meeting points of the RedLAC.
Alonso Ramos Vaca: “RedLAC got started at the 3CLAC held in Chihuahua, México in 2008. This regional initiative brings together
the sense of collaboration, common objectives and benefits for all its members through multiple tools”.
Jaime Echeverri: “Latin American cluster practitioners join this community convinced of its great potential to
promote associative culture. RedLAC encourages the creation of scenarios and programs to transfer
knowledge and best practices on clusters and also tries to facilitate business networks
between regions in Latin America.”
PACF - Pan African Competitiveness Forum
TCI collaborates with this initiative with similar objectives for
Africa as those of TCI globally. The PACF is a continent-wide competence and action centre
for innovation and cluster based competitiveness initiatives for national and regional economic
development in Africa.
Barnabas Nawangwe: “Our mission is to stimulate, catalyze and promote the
development of innovation and cluster based competitiveness for poverty
reduction, wealth creation and sustainable development of Africa.”
