Understanding Category Caps
Many categories maintain one primary partner per city or region. This strategic approach serves several purposes:
- Neutrality: Prevents one partner from dominating institutional resources or communications.
- Quality: Ensures LNG Cluster can provide meaningful support and partnership depth.
- Fairness: Protects all partners from excessive competition within the same institutional space.
- Conflict Prevention: Reduces competitive tension and potential representational conflicts.
Some categories (technology, research, environmental) welcome multiple partners to promote innovation and diverse perspectives. All categories are evaluated individually during the application process.
