Abstract

In Italy a “second type” of clusters was defined at the beginning of the 2000s with the name of technological district (TD), specialized in high-tech sectors, characterized by a significant interaction between companies and research centers and managed by a legal entity. The technological district changes the perspective and focus of the previous industrial district aggregative model, based on the localization, size scale, and production intensity, passing from the productive sector to the technical-scientific strategic one. The aim of this chapter is to describe the experience of a district located in Southern Italy and focused on the enabling technology of advanced material. This intermediate organization in innovation processes, as well as fostering links between scientific research and national, small, medium, and large enterprises, conceives and develops the linking mechanisms between the two worlds emphasizing its territory animation mission, selecting contacts fostering partnerships, providing resources and skills, with the aim of orientating and qualifying the trajectory of regional development toward increasingly higher and more innovative positions. Its actions to support entrepreneurial capabilities and access to finance and the results obtained in terms of structurally established collaboration networks for co-production and transfer of knowledge between public and private research nodes and the fabric of companies are analyzed.
