- Abstract
Industrial clusters in peripheral regions: The case of marine biotechnology in Rimouski (Québec) As an important tool of economic development policies, regional clusters have often been presented (rightly or wrongly) as the most suitable environment for stimulating innovation and the competitiveness of firms and regions. The objective of this article is to study the phenomenon of industrial clusters in peripheral regions, basing our study on the case of marine biotechnology in Rimouski. To do this, we describe the structure and the functioning of the cluster and analyze how the dynamics of innovation result from processes and interactions that take place at different spatial scales. Finally, we explore how this case study sheds light on the theory related to clusters and the development of peripheral regions. In addition, we discuss how the case of marine biotechnologies in Rimouski illustrates the difficulty of a cluster to emerge in a peripheral context.
