Develop regional clusters<br />
Based on the analysis <strong>of</strong> agglomerations <strong>of</strong><br />
enterprises, the road and rail access network,<br />
the distance / proximity to the institutional<br />
centres, urbanized centres and proximity to the<br />
airport and ports, four typologies <strong>of</strong> specialized<br />
clusters have been selected.<br />
Regional agencies, regional municipalities,<br />
universities, institutes, and the regional SMEs<br />
and innovation board, based on the stage <strong>of</strong><br />
development and interaction <strong>of</strong> clustering<br />
(clusters under creation), should take clear<br />
steps in building responsible institutions and<br />
management structures.<br />
The typologies <strong>of</strong> the proposed regional<br />
geographic clusters are:<br />
• Innovative business cluster –<br />
technological hub;<br />
It is proposed to develop technopolises as<br />
centres focused on research and development<br />
<strong>of</strong> innovative technologies, global marketing<br />
network and innovation networks.<br />
(the pole <strong>of</strong> Rinas airport; the northern centre<br />
“Dëshmorët e Kombit” boulevard in <strong>Tirana</strong>; the<br />
centre <strong>of</strong> Spitalle, <strong>Durres</strong>)<br />
• ‘Furniture industry’ and textile industry<br />
(clothing/footwear) cluster;<br />
It is proposed to develop regional centres<br />
specialized in ‘Furniture and Fashion’<br />
sectors. These structures should promote the<br />
development <strong>of</strong> specialized school curricula as<br />
well as specialized employment. They should<br />
guide the cooperation <strong>of</strong> entrepreneurs who<br />
produce partial products or raw materials, to<br />
products that complement each other.<br />
(the poles <strong>of</strong> ‘Kombinat’ in <strong>Tirana</strong>, Kamez,<br />
Shijak)<br />
• Creative industry cluster;<br />
Develop centres with a focus on the creative<br />
industries <strong>of</strong> various dimensions, such as<br />
music, fashion, media, visual arts, culture etc.<br />
(the pole <strong>of</strong> ‘Kinostudio’ in <strong>Tirana</strong>, <strong>Durres</strong><br />
centre)<br />
