OPERATION OF THE CLUSTER
The Software Innovation Pole Cluster is a voluntary collaboration between software industry players and organizations interested in the development of the sector. The Cluster is an aggregation of members with equal rights, maintaining a cooperative and trusting relation with other members. The Cluster itself has no legal form and legal personality.
Following the establishment of the Cluster in 2007, the Cluster Committee and the Operative Body of the Cluster were set up. External representation of the Cluster is provided by a gestor company, GriffSoft Zrt.
The Cluster operates under the Organizational and Operational Rules and Code of Ethics adopted on 13 June 2008.
