Features of cluster twinning program run by SPX India


SPX India is the UNIDO backed organization that continually works towards the overall development of Indian micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) involved in crafting shoe upper. This firm is backed by the governments of India and Italy, which have offered full support for the unique cluster twinning program run by SPX India.

The main objective of this program is to enhance the competence and quality levels of these Indian MSMEs engaged in making full shoe and provide them with great opportunities for development.

Since the Indian clusters are deliver low performance, the need of such a program was being felt at the international level. Due to this reason, this program is being welcomed by organizations like Indian Finished Leather Manufacturers and Exporters Association. This program operates at association level in India and Italy and is aimed at providing the firms from both nations with a win-win scenario.

The level of competence of these firms is enhanced through training, business development services, and export consortia. Also, the business models that have succeeded in the Italian market are introduced into the Indian one for overall growth at cluster level in Pune, Chennai, Gurgaon.
