Visualisation of Linkages in Networked Clusters
• V-LINC is an expert methodology and software application.• Records, visualises and analyses the strength of key relationships within Cluster Ecosystems. • V-LINC can be applied to any industry sector.
When applied to a specific sector in a region V-LINC answers two questions:
1) What is the extent of cluster activity in the region?
2) What policies or other strategic initiatives can be developed to nurture economic growth based on regional strengths?
