New Guide Available for Creating a Technology Cluster Policy

A Practical Guide to Cluster Development is an evidence-based manual for creating a technology cluster policy at the local level. It provides a hands-on guide on ‘what works’ and ‘what doesn’t’.

The first section describes how to design and measure a cluster strategy. Subsequent sections report on critical success factors. Other resources include a bibliography, glossary and a quick reference guide. The report resides at http://www.dti.gov.uk/clusters/ecotec-report/dti_clusters.pdf
