Innovation clusters represent a form of organised collaboration within related industrial sectors and competencies in a specific region. They include innovative start-ups, small, medium, and large companies, research organisations, educational institutions, government representatives, and other stakeholders. The primary purpose of innovation clusters is to strengthen collaboration, networking and learning among members, and to provide specialised, user-adapted support services.

Leading Slovenian innovation cluster
Established nearly 25 years ago, TECES is a leading Slovenian innovation cluster, internationally recognised for its expertise in strategic development partnerships and projects focused on green technologies and energy-efficient solutions for both civil and defence sectors.
TECES’ core mission is to strengthen competencies, increase added value, and enhance the competitiveness of its members by fostering synergies and collaboration among businesses, research and technology organisations, institutions, governments, and end-users.
Over the past two decades, TECES has evolved from a technology centre into a trusted international partner and coordinator of large, multinational consortia. Within the European Defence Fund (EDF), TECES serves as the national Point of Contact (PoC) for energy resilience topics, actively integrating Slovenian partners into EDF initiatives, including acting as coordinator of EDF-2021-INDY and EDF-2024-SENTINEL.
In addition, TECES plays an active role in numerous initiatives and projects under the European Defence Agency (EDA), further strengthening its extensive international network and reputation as a reliable facilitator of collaboration between civil and defence sectors.
