Innovation projects
The MecaTech Cluster helps companies develop their projects (research, training, investment, and innovation platforms). It identifies key skills/partners within companies, universities, institutes and academies, and research and skills
centres and promotes synergies. It advises project leaders on preparing their application files and helps them navigate through administrative requirements.
Networks
Project leaders have access to an extensive network of industrial, scientific, and training partners. The MecaTech Cluster has also woven close ties with other business organisations (public investment funds called “invests”, incubators,
engineering offices, consulting firms, etc.) that it can involve based on company needs.
Financing
Wallonia’s competitiveness clusters provide access to specific financing. The MecaTech Cluster guides project leaders by providing information about different sources of public financing or by putting them in contact with public/private investors.

International
The MecaTech Cluster helps Walloon projects gain an international
foothold by identifying foreign partners and financing
through its international networks. It provides international
visibility by organising and participating in events, trade
shows, etc. and promotes relationships with foreign investors
(in collaboration with AWEX/OFI).
Strategy
The MecaTech Cluster provides project leaders with advice about their growth strategies, whether in connection with their business models, market analyses, and trends in industrial processes. To achieve this, the Cluster provides access to market study databases, privileged relationships with consulting firms, and a special support programme called “Factory 4.0”.
