About BORMAC
The Border Region Manufacturing Cluster (BORMAC) is an industry led cluster comprising of manufacturing companies spanning both the North and South of the border region in Ireland
The concept of industry clusters has been around since the 1980’s, coined from Michael Porters research into economic competitiveness. There are many definitions that coalesce around similar sentiments of clusters being “Regional agglomerations of companies, research institutions, government agencies, and others in a specific area of business activity related through various knowledge and economic linkages”(Porter, 2008, and Ketels, 2011).
Mission and vision
Vision
To position the cluster as a centre of excellence that is internationally recognised for its expertise and competence in providing a range of services to the MedTech industry.
Mission
To create a vibrant, collaborative environment by promoting innovation, entrepreneurship, and teamwork to achieve more successful outcomes than could be achieved by individual companies working alone.
