Final Research ReportResearch Findings Summary

The goal of the ISRN project was to determine the factors that contribute to the success of local industrial clusters across Canada and to analyze how the formation and growth of these clusters supports local economic activity and innovative capacity. At the heart of the study was a key question with important implications for government policy: how do local assets and relationships between economic actors enable firms to become more innovative? Drawing on 26 case studies, the research explored explored cluster dynamics in a variety of industrial settings, ranging from newly emerging knowledge-intensive areas - such as the biomedical industry, and photonics/wireless - to more traditional manufacturing sectors like, food and beverage, automotive and steel.The research findings highlight the dynamic relationship between local and global forces in the development of clusters. Prior to the study, some widely cited literature in the field maintained that strong local competition was essential for the development of internationally competitive clusters. A key finding of the ISRN research is that unlike the US the most successful clusters in Canada are rarely the result of purely local factors. In highly successful ones, such as Saskatoon's agricultural cluster or Waterloo's information technology cluster, firms draw upon a knowledge base or key suppliers that are both global and local. At the same time, their most sophisticated and demanding markets are continental or international.Another finding is that social networks and informational linkages have a strong impact on firm dynamics. The most successful clusters profit from strong social networks at the community level and the emergence of dedicated, community-based organizations. The innovative firms in the cluster are supported by these new organizations, such as the Ottawa Centre for Research and Innovation in the national capital or Calgary Technologies, Inc. and Leading Edge BC in the West, that create linkages within the cluster.In relatively few of the cases is the emergence and success of a cluster linked directly to the presence ofa key research university. In most cases, the cluster's success is traced to the presence of highly skilled labour and local labour markets that are key components for firm attraction and retention. These, in turn, depend on factors such as the strength of local post-secondary education and more specialized training institutions, as well as the quality of place and the degree of social inclusion. These findings have important implications for policy-makers at all three levels of government. Those interested in supporting the growth of clusters as a way to stimulate local economic development must ensure that their policies are sensitive to the unique features of their local economy. They should take a holistic approach that considers the impact of a wide range of factors on the internal dynamics of the cluster. Finally, the study reinforces the conclusion that educating, training and retaining a highly skilled labour force, that is well acquainted with the most advanced research and production techniques, is one of the most valuable assets that a local community can enjoy.
