The Economist Intelligence Unit Limited

(Dec. 2011)

There are few economic policies as popular as research

parks, incubators and clusters –very hot today.

It is hard today to find a country, region, or even a city

that is not trying to develop a network of competitive

firms (clusters)

The “political appeal” is therefore obvious, particularly

now that the world’s economic crisis has put a spotlight

on “innovation” to diversify economies and create jobs

However the difficulty lies in turning these “science

parks”, incubators or “hi-tech”corridors into success

stories. Not so simple.

1400 cluster initiatives
