The Co-operation for Growth (Co-Growth) project aims to facilitate co-operation across the Welsh drinks sector through the application of cluster-based research.
Aims
The project's vision is to develop resilient Welsh Drinks supply chains by facilitating, enabling and guiding co-operation through a cluster-based approach.
The project aims are to:
- identify best practices related to co-operation among companies, to present demonstrative evidence of the benefits from horizontal and vertical collaboration
- help inform drinks producers to take effective decisions on when to collaborate, who to collaborate with, and the benefits of collaboration
- develop a set of models, tools and techniques to enable and enhance joint partnerships within the sector
- help businesses grow sustainably with incremental capital investment while meeting environmental goals.
Project stages
The project will include three stages:
- internal operations excellence - tackling current barriers
- identifying and modelling collaborative clusters - estimating benefits and anticipating challenges
- running pilot clusters - demonstrating benefits and addressing challenges
