The availability of new communication and processing technologies, competitive pressures for further product differentiation, and increasingly diverse consumer demands have led many food industry participants and industry observers to consider cluster development as an important engine for innovation and regional prosperity (Lagnevik et al 2003).…”

“…The traditional Porter-view of a production cluster has been expanded to include virtual cluster configurations (Preissl 2003;Preissl and Solimene 2003;Earl and Gault 2006;Pitelis, Sugden and Wilson 2006;Graf 2007). Since firm strategy is often embedded in global markets, Preissl (2003) suggests that knowledge creation in an increasingly global and complex economy requires us to focus on interaction rather than location as the constitutive element of clusters.…”

This paper analyses government support for networking and regional cluster growth in the food sector. It is, to the best of our knowledge, the first paper to provide a literature review of studies on regional food clusters, focusing on key features that characterise successful regional food clusters. The review compares key characteristics of such clusters with characteristics of clusters from other industrial sectors. The insights from these studies on clustering success and the role of government are contrasted with empirical evidence on government support for clustering in the Canadian food sector, specifically in the province of Alberta. The empirical evidence is based on two small industry surveys, one conducted in March 2005, and the second in August 2009. Considering this empirical evidence, we have little support for an emerging food (innovation) cluster in Alberta, and little evidence for effective government support toward food cluster development in Alberta

“…While at present there are no comprehensive measures of value added from the discovery and adoption of new technology in Canada, ways of measuring this are under consideration (Gault and McDaniel 2005;Earl, Gault and Bordt 2005). CIHR plans to monitor and, when possible, participate in these discussions with the aim of collaborative development of appropriate indicators of commercialization.…”

The OECD is a unique forum where the governments of 30 democracies work together to address the economic, social and environmental challenges of globalisation. The OECD is also at the forefront of efforts to understand and to help governments respond to new developments and concerns, such as corporate governance, the information economy and the challenges of an ageing population. The Organisation provides a setting where governments can compare policy experiences, seek answers to common problems, identify good practice and work to co-ordinate domestic and international policies.
