"There is no certain recipe for successfully creating and sustaining clusters of technology-based industries.
Yet time and again new initiatives are announced. They purport to create synergies and efficiencies, share best practices and reduce the overall cost of doing business. Yet many of these are little more than glorified real-estate projects designed to attract foreign investment or empty sloganeering aimed at gaining political mileage. Few come to fruition and even fewer can claim to have mirrored Silicon Valley's success.
Taking a fresh look
This poor record does not mean the concept itself should be rejected. But a change in approach is needed.
Policymakers should focus on helping clusters develop naturally, rather than attempting to create them from scratch."
