An important part of the future economic promotion is the promotion of sector networks. Such sector networks offer especially small companys a chance, to better exploit their potential. Company overlapping co-operations for example in the fields of procurement, production and marketing offer better synergy possibilities. The networking with universities and other academic institutions should strengthen the innovation power of companies.

Therefore, further conversations are planned with the network Berlin-Brandenburg Aerospace Alliance e.V. and the compentence center Optik Rathenow e.V..

They count to the 16 sector competence fields in Brandenburg, where the economic promotion should focus on in the future, in order to stabilise the strong sectors. The objectif is to design a set of promotion instruments, that is tailored to the needs and priorities of each sector. In addition, sector strategies should be developed in cooperation with the economy and with actors operating close with the economy. The ministry of economics promotes the constitution of networks via the new instrument "GA-Cluster-Management".
