About Us

APEX CLUSTER DEVELOPMENT SERVICES PVT. LTD (ACDS) started in 2004 around the idea of MSME empowerment through Local Economic Development Techniques. With the experience of UNIDO's cluster development programme and closely working with MSMEs for about 20 years the promoters uniquely poised the idea of Clusterkraft. In the past few years, Clusterkraft has emerged as an expert Cluster Development Reasearch and Consultancy organization.
