Clusters and European partnerships

What the collective delivers, member by member

A cluster brings together companies, laboratories and institutions in one territory. Datamensio measures the maturity of its members, steers the collective's services and makes its contribution demonstrable.

All your members on the same framework, assessed at once.

The problem

A membership that is hard to justify

A cluster makes very heterogeneous members work together, from start-ups to industrial groups. The collective creates value, but that value is told through events and introductions, rarely through measurement.

European instruments, meanwhile, ask for results. Without a shared measurement base, a cluster depends on its managers' narrative to demonstrate what it moved.

Measuring members' maturity gives the cluster proof that its action produced an effect.

The journey

From member diagnostics to collective evidence

The cluster keeps ownership of its framework: the themes tracked are its industry's, not a generic template's.

What is already settled

What you will not have to negotiate

Your data stays in Europe

Hosted in France with OVH, backed up with Scaleway, no transfer outside the European Union. For a Commission-funded programme, that is not a selling point, it is a prerequisite.

Your brand, not ours

The beneficiary reporting space carries your colours and your logo. The companies you support see your programme, not a third-party tool.

Operational in weeks

The framework, the consortium's services and partner access are configured without development work. The programme starts on the grant agreement's calendar, not on a software vendor's.

The framework stays yours

Start from the catalogue or have your own framework built, then adapt it. A frozen framework does not survive a three-year programme.

« Datamensio has enabled us to centralize frameworks, actions, and teams, providing a clear vision of transformation projects led with the regional consortium. Our stakeholders and business leaders feel both reassured and more engaged in their transformation efforts. »

Alan MandrillonChief Project Manager, Aerospace Valley

« With Datamensio we meet our objectives far more efficiently. The ERDF inspection services and our supervising ministry particularly appreciated this approach, which gives them reliable data. »
