The Strategic Plan 2019-2022 (PECE 2022) seeks to position the Basque Energy Cluster as a benchmark for Basque businesses in the energy sector, due to its ability to boost collaborative initiatives and to promote its visibility both locally and internationally. To do this, it is deployed in five strategic objectives:

To consolidate the ACE’s ability to stimulate the sector, focussing on activities in the value chains with the greatest presence and strength in terms of member companies, with better defined challenges for increased growth potential.

To focus the Technological and Internationalisation value propositions on Basque SMEs, boosting the driving effect of large companies, providing technological proposals to knowledge agents, and channelling grants from administrations to benefit the SMEs.

To diversify the ACE’s value propositions, addressing activities to attract talent, offering training services, and exploring new proposals in areas such as sustainability and innovation, as well as strengthening competitive intelligence services.

  To set in motion new ways of collaborative working (Working Groups) which allow the definition of initiatives, projects and activities that respond to the specific challenges identified and shared by a group of partners, in an effective and efficient way.

To maximise the accessible sources of public funding and increase turnover for services provided to members, in order to have sufficient qualified manpower and suitable tools and systems within the ACE to deal with the momentum of the proposed activities and to manage them.

PECE 2022 marks a singular milestone in the development of the association, as it seeks to consolidate the current activity of the Basque Energy Cluster at the same time as increasing the value provided to our associates through new ways of working that promote and maximize the results of collaborative activities. For this, as reflected in the following graph, the business model defined in PECE 2022 is based on five value proposals, which are individualized for each of the different target groups and are materialized through a wide range of services.
