THE MAZOVIAN CHEMICAL CLUSTER

Płock Industrial and Technological Park is also a co-founder and until December 2019 was the coordinator and leader of the Mazovian Chemical Cluster which was established in 2014. The idea of the founders of this initiative was the desire to create an institution that will support the development of the chemical sector so strong in the region. The main purpose of the cluster was to improve competitiveness and increase innovative potential of companies from the chemical sector by exchanging knowledge and experience with R&D institutions and cooperating with companies linked to this sector. A unique space of the cluster resulted in establishment of long-lasting relations, initiation of joint projects as well as stimulates pro- -innovative activity, supports experience sharing and competence raising. 10 industry groups operated under the cluster, among which the cosmetic group has become prominent. As one of the most innovative and developmental on the Polish market, it strives to create its own strategy of development. During the coordination of the PPPT, more than 120 entities were members of the cluster. They represented entrepreneurs, research and development facilities, universities, administration, non-governmental organizations and business ​support institutions. The Mazovian Chemical Cluster was active on international stage and participates inter alia in the works of Project Council of the European Chemical Regions Network (Rada Projektowa Europejskiej Sieci Reginów Chemicznych, ECRN) and the high standard of its activity is confirmed by the Brown Label of Cluster Management Excellence awarded by the European Secretariat of Cluster Analysis (ESCA) in October 2014 and Silver Label of Cluster Management Excellence awarded by the European Secretariat of Cluster Analysis (ESCA) in November 2017. ​
