Problems for cluster innovation Service orientation needs leading demand conditions Internationalisation of clusters needs single market for services 11
Drivers of cluster innovation Company A Company B Company C Company D Joint service In the past companies reacted to increased global competition with collaborative initiatives: sharing parts of their value chains (research, logistics, ) developing common support services (training, ) 12
Drivers of cluster innovation Leading technology Advanced services Now innovative clusters are responding by redefining the businesses in which they compete: Incorporating leading technological innovation Adding advanced services 13
Drivers of cluster innovation In order to preserve a competitive edge developed clusters are changing the value chains where they used to compete: From selling trucks to renting tons/mile transportation (Franco Swedish Industrial Vehicles cluster) 14
