Scenario Building
The cluster was initially formed after a group of competing building companies were each to small to handle a large order from abroad and decided to collaborate to deliver the order. After this initial collaboration, the companies started talking and working together and decided to do common branding and product development. Now the cluster includes researchers and IT companies and is actively searching opportunities for both Smart homes and solutions for the independent living of the elderly.
