The Extratex methodology is divided into 4 phases:

1

Creation of a knowledge base

The knowledge base will revise practices and strategies previously implemented in order to put the basis for creating intersectoral cooperation and building synergies.

2

Enhancement of skills

The second phase is focused on designing and delivering added-value support services identified by the consortium in the first phase and also during the proposal preparation.

3

Road-map and strategic collaboration: ClusterXchange Pilot phase and fine-tuning of strategic cooperation.

The closer cooperation between cluster organisations and a strong impulse to the collaboration, networking and learning for cluster organisations will be ensured by several networking activities and ClusterXchange implementation.

4

Marketing Plan and awareness raising

The previous phases will materialise a marketing plan, also sustained by the awareness raising actions.
