Cluster cooperation projects involve several companies working together - including the involvement of an R&D and/or qualification facility. Cooperation between companies strengthens the competitiveness of people working together in the fields of technology and organisation. 

The Furniture and Timber Construction Cluster team assists you with:

• Advice on project ideas (alternative sources of funding, general conditions to take into account)
• Searching for suitable project partners (personal research, project tenders via MHC media, initiating round tables for prospective partners)
• Compiling the application for funding
• Submitting the application
• Support during project realisation
• Opportunity for holding project meetings at MHC offices
• Project-related public relations (MHC media and trade publications)  

The current funding guidelines for cooperation projects run as part of Upper Austrian Cluster initiatives and the application form are available here: Cluster funding
