Research focus
Clusters as regional ecosystems
●Fixed attributes and generic outcomes
● Globalization
● The region as a strategic opportunity
Cluster development as a strategic, relational and visionary activity
●How does cluster development function in this approach?
Metropolitan Food Clusters (MFC)
●6 examples (Netherlands, China, India & Mexico)

The Metropolitan Food Clusters concept
Development of a sustainable and efficient agro and food systems in regional clusters
●Growing middle class, urbanization & rural collapse
●Climate change
●Diminishing stock of natural resources
Industrialisation, economies of scale and intensification

MFC as a system innovation
1. Resource use efficiency
● Industrial ecology
2. Intelligent agro logistics
3. Vertical integration
4. Horizontal integration
● Plant & animal
5. Institutional
● Governance
● Knowledge management

The concept in practice
A coalition of government agencies, businesses and/or knowledge holders start a cluster initiative
MFC as a strategic, guiding and unifying concept
External organizations (KENGi) are drawn into the regional processes
●To empower and to organize cluster development activities
●Knowledge, technology, and facilitation capabilities

Activities
‘Road shows’: awareness raising
Feasibility studies
Masterplanning (co-design)
Community formation: engagement, alignment and creativity
Joint fact finding: excursions
Establishing connections with other trajectories
Network meetings for matchmaking (B2B)
Implementation and investments
Reflexive action: making adjustments ‘on the way’

Regional attributes matter
Path dependencies
●Evolution
Social & institutional foundations
●Absorptive capacities
●Values and actor relations

Conclusions
Strategic clustering is about a strategic decision and about establishing cluster factors to become a ecosystem
●Strategic coupling with external networks and trajectories
●Engaging in a reflexive visioning process
●Building on the existing attributes and foundations
‘Strategic capacity’ as a guiding principle for cluster policies
●Enhancement by facilitation and knowledge activities
●Reflexive action
