In an era increasingly defined by rapid technological evolution and the shifting locus of innovation to emerging markets – often underpinned by industry policies supporting indigenous innovation – understanding the dynamics of successful technology clusters is paramount.
Examining highly relevant and popular topics such as startups, entrepreneurship, the role of governance and innovation through a range of groundbreaking and unique contributions, this book seeks to uncover the intricacies of thriving clusters worldwide, distilling lessons and best practices:
- packed with practical and illustrative examples as well as exclusive case studies to provide hands-on solutions to real-world challenges for fostering innovations.
- contributions by world experts from different fields from academia, the public sector and business practice.

By examining the experiences of both established hubs like Silicon Valley and burgeoning ecosystems in emerging markets, it provides practical insights for fostering innovation, economic growth, and societal development in the 21st century, empowering a broad audience of readers including policymakers, entrepreneurs, scholars, and investors.
