In the absence of the top-down approach, and I am not saying one approach is right or wrong, what is driving it? Is it happening organically? If it is, should we say that this is excellent or can more be done? We are all agreed it is a good idea. Can more be done to drive the establishment of clusters and their expansion? I am not necessarily wedded to one model or another. In the Basque country, Catalonia, Denmark and other places, they are driving it from the administrative level and from the top down, but we appear to be allowing it to happen organically. If it stops organically, what will we do?
