ettevõtlusklastrite

Ettevõtlusklastrid, or business clusters, are geographical concentrations of interconnected companies, specialized suppliers, service providers, and associated institutions in a particular field or industry. These clusters emerge organically as businesses in the same or related sectors choose to locate near each other. The proximity fosters a unique environment characterized by intense competition and cooperation.

Companies within a cluster benefit from shared resources, including a skilled labor pool, specialized knowledge, and access to relevant infrastructure and research institutions. This concentration allows for easier knowledge spillovers, innovation, and the development of new technologies and business models. Suppliers and service providers also thrive as they cater to the specific needs of the cluster's members.

The interconnectedness within a cluster can lead to increased productivity and efficiency for individual firms. It also enhances the region's overall competitiveness by creating a more dynamic and innovative economic ecosystem. Governments and other organizations often support the development of clusters through policy initiatives, infrastructure investment, and the promotion of collaboration among cluster participants. Examples of successful clusters can be found in various industries globally, such as technology, biotechnology, and manufacturing.
