This presentation by Dr. Matthias Künzel (VDI/VDE-IT) explores the complexities of developing industry clusters through policy intervention. It emphasizes the need for strategic macroeconomic policies, infrastructure, and R&D programs, highlighting the distinct characteristics of clusters and their management. By analyzing 143 cluster management organizations across eight countries and 16 cluster programs from nine countries, valuable insights and benchmarking strategies are provided.

  2. Innovation + Technik analysieren Developing a cluster through policy intervention is a complex endeavor… Clusters are geographic concentrations of interconnected companies and institutions in a particular field that collaborate and compete at the same time. Michael E. Porter, 1998: Clusters and the New Economics of Competition, in: Harvard Business Review, November 1978 Macroeconomic policy, infrastructure programs, labour market policy/programs, educational programs, etc…. Framework conditions Cluster participants R&D programs, business development programs Coordination Support programs (financial or technical assistance) Cluster management organization

Compare with the best / others in the same branch / region provides cluster (management) recommendations for its further development immediate feedback on the status of development • Cluster management is a long term business – forget quarterly reports • Cluster management is an individual thing depending on local and branch specifics • The soft factors are difficult to measure – informal contacts, the quality of a personal network,... • In a matured cluster a lot of activities run without coordination of the cluster management
