Why to shut down NDM? Growth path not successful – 80 partner companies; smallest Network/Cluster within Clusterland OÖ GmbH At least three-digit amount of partners needed (critical mass for successful Cluster cooperation projects) NDM is subcritical refering to: Internal ressources (2 persons) min.3 necessary Member companies (89 partners – incl. bancrupt and discharge: 9) Structure of partner companies inhomogeneous Budget (about. 200t€ turnover); necessary about 400-500t€

Analysis of NDM-Partners (total 80) Potential of enterprises (product design relevant for most COG partner companies) Most partner from UA (just 8 from different regions, 1 from CH) 38 manufacturing companies Service provider: Communications design in a broader sense: 10 Product -designer: 12

34 enterprises (mostly manufacturing companies) are already partners in one or several clusters 20 additional companies fit (very) well to an already exiting cluster Just 4 companies did not suit any cluster (hairdresser, goldsmith, consultant) ÂŠ Clusterland Upper Austria Ltd
