The third pillar of the IDE Ecosystem is the role of clusters that enhance opportunities for innovation and entrepreneurship and define the entrepreneurial comparative advantage of regions

A cluster is a regional concentration of related industries connected through various types of linkages and spillovers and supporting institutions

– Across related industries Within a Cluster, – Across Related Clusters – Across the Same Cluster in Neighboring Regions
