Innovation Cluster
A geographically proximate network of firms, research institutions and talent organized around a specific technological field, characterized by intense collaboration and competition, such as Silicon Valley, Shenzhen and Bangalore. Proximity can accelerate knowledge spillovers while bringing externalities such as rising housing costs.
Timeline (last 90 days)
Innovation clusters refer to geographically proximate networks of firms, research institutions, and talent that form highly collaborative and competitive relationships around a specific technological field, such as Silicon Valley, Shenzhen, and Bangalore.
The cluster effects of innovation clusters bring externalities such as rising housing costs, pressure on public services, local small and medium-sized enterprises being squeezed out, and dilution of community culture, which economists call "the cost of agglomeration."
In recent years, inclusive growth has been introduced into innovation policy discussions, arguing that when evaluating the success of clusters, in addition to patent counts and financing scale, indicators such as job quality, affordable housing, and local supply chain participation should also be included.
