Abstract

This chapter highlights the value of sharing experience of barriers and enablers across clusters, as a means of minimising risks and optimizing value. We illustrate this initially through an early case in the oil and gas sector which shows how an early stage cluster was able to benefit from the experiences of a mature oil and gas cluster to mitigate risks in relation to the retention of SMEs. The case reveals the central role SMEs play in clusters in terms of innovation, employment and niche expertise crucial to the enhancement of cluster performance. The chapter highlights the potential of clusters at different stages of development to learn from each other, as a means of anticipating, minimising and mitigating unanticipated cost and risk. The chapter also highlights the need for a better understanding of the landscape on the ground, at the crucial interfaces where it is assumed that actors in government, education and industry co-produce value.
