Abstract

Clusters capture important linkages– technology, skills, information, marketing and customer needs – that cut across firms and industries. These linkages are fundamental to competition and the direction and pace of innovation. They help articulate the role of the private sector, government, trade associations, educational and research institutions. By bringing together firms of all sizes, they create a forum for constructive business-government dialogue and for identifying common opportunities.
