The Development of High-Tech Clusters

Theoretical Insights and Policy Implications

  • Chapter
Institutions and Systems in the Geography of Innovation

Part of the book series: Economics of Science, Technology and Innovation ((ESTI,volume 25))

Abstract

This need for the emergence of “growing points” or “growth poles” in the course of the development process means that international and interregional inequality of growth is an inevitable concomitant and condition of growth itself. Thus in the geographic sense, growth is necessarily unbalanced.
