What Are Clusters?
• Today’s economic map of the world is characterized by “clusters.”
• A cluster is a geographic concentration of related companies, organizations, and institutions in a particular field that can be present in a region, state, or nation.
• Clusters arise because they raise a company's productivity, which is influenced by local assets and the presence of like firms, institutions, and infrastructure that surround it.
