Innovation clusters for regional development in Latin America and the Caribbean
This paper by Carlos Quandt, Lucio Marcio Spinosa and Fernando Pacheco from the Ponticifal Catholic University of Parana.
The knowledge-based economy calls for strategies, policies, and institutions to support a new model of development based on innovation, the promotion of knowledge diffusion and the development of advanced skills. This is increasing a problem for Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) and this paper addresses this challenge.
The general idea is based on two key concepts for SME development; innovation clusters and cooperation networks. Moreover the general approach involves a third element; the application to the case of W-CLASS (Panama World Class Program for Software, E-commerce and E-business).
