Danish Partners Pull Plug on Oresund Cluster Funding
In what seems to be a surprising decision, the Board of Vice-Chancellors for Øresund University has decided to close down all the Øresund platforms for cluster facilitation, including Oresund Food, Oresund IT, Oresund Logistics and Oresund Environment.
Activities will likely re-emerge, but under Swedish management and focus. Lund University in Sweden will become the base of the activities. It was the main Danish financiers (DTU and University of Copenhagen) who decided to stop funding of the various Oresund Cluster platforms.
Programs and activities will continue as planned. The various Oresund Clusters had a management staff of 40 people, this is likely to be reduced as new clusters are defined in and around Sweden.

Wind Power Cluster to be Built in Finland
Cursor Oy which is the regional development agency for Kotka-Hamina in Finland has announced that a a wind energy cluster will be developed in cooperation with the Finnish company WinWind.
The parties would endeavor to get new companies join the wind energy cluster at the Kotka-Hamina region and help in the creation of new jobs for Finland’s wind energy sector.
According to Guru Vijendran Winwind’s Chief Operative Officer, the location was very significant for Winwind. The wind turbine factory would offer professional assembly of logistic advantages, turbines and also better customer service in Finland and in the neighboring areas. The 3 MW wind turbines could be altered to suit the domestic conditions for both onshore areas with stronger winds and for inland low wind speed regions. This would be a great opportunity for Winwind to increase the utilization rate of the Hamina factory in the next three years.
The LOI signed by TuuliWatti Oy, Cursor Oy and Winwind also includes development of a project comprising 30 turbines on Cursor land. The first project is the Virolahti wind farm where six Winwind 3 turbines would be installed before 2012
