Member Directory 2011 - TCI Network

Message from the President
I am particularly proud to present you a new version of the TCI Member Directory. This
dynamic document presents the core group of members of a wider community of 3,000 cluster
practitioners from over 100 countries and is designed as a more detailed guide to the people
and organizations that make up our membership base and its rich variety of backgrounds,
experiences, geography, etc.
The directory presents a picture of a network that has evolved in the last 13 years, since the
establishment of TCI in 1998, and has continued to grow with a marked positive tendency
towards a consolidation of the number of members; in particular the number of organizational members increased more
than one third in the last two years. The increase in the membership base has been particularly significant as it provides
sustainability to TCI and enriches the network with experience and knowledge. This directory is therefore a recognition of
the core group of members, that make part of the TCI Network and who drive the organization’s activity.
We hope you also benefit from the use of the directory as a tool to strengthen linkages among members and to facilitate
the exchange of best practices and knowledge on competitiveness and cluster reinforcement initiatives. Being a network
open to every practitioner working worldwide in the field, we would be glad if the directory is seen as a stimulus for other
organizations to join TCI.
I hope you all largely benefit from it.
Alberto Pezzi
TCI President 2009-2011
