Cluster Policy in Northern Ireland
Date published:
The Ulster University Economic Policy Centre (UUEPC) has developed a research paper on the levels and nature of collaboration between organisations in specified sectors in Northern Ireland.
This report reviews best practice from policy and academic research in the formation, management and development of clusters. It also discusses the levels and nature of collaboration between organisations in three specific sectors and offers evidence on the reasons why collaboration is not much more widespread and productive in the NI economy. Recommendations to assist a successful implementation of cluster policy in NI are offered.
