About the cluster

8Foundry and 8Foundry Alliance —
Coordination that strengthens your international growth

As the coordinator of 8Foundry Alliance — an international cluster uniting 16 partners across Europe, Asia, and Africa — we enhance the reach and effectiveness of our activities within a success fee model. This strategic partnership allows us to implement international expansion projects faster and more efficiently, delivering flexible support based on actual outcomes.

Expanding into foreign markets is a complex process that requires access to reliable partners and local knowledge. Through 8Foundry Alliance, we integrate expertise from local specialists, educational and public institutions, enabling effective and secure implementation in new countries. The cluster operates as an independent entity governed by a supervisory board. 8Foundry acts as coordinator, ensuring transparent cooperation principles and equal access to resources, which raises standards and project success rates.
