The SpectroNet innovation cluster was awarded with the Silver Label of the European Cluster Excellence Initiative (ECEI). In an audit, the SpectroNet cluster management led by Dr. Nick Leithold and Paul-Gerald Dittrich proved that the SpectroNet cluster meets the European-wide standardized requirements for excellent cluster management.

In the course of the realignment, the existing management processes were digitized and new innovative digital services were developed. These are adapted to the needs of the more than 45 cluster partners from industry, science and politics. The portfolio of cluster services was restructured and possibilities for efficient knowledge and information transfer were developed.
