Silicon Cities and creating tech clusters in the UK (pt 1)

This is a great report (published by the Policy Exchange in 2014) on the key factors relating to the creation of tech clusters. Couple things to highlight:

Skills: The single most important success factor for tech clusters is having access to a strong base of workers with the skills – or aptitude to learn – core competencies needed by the sector. 

Community collaboration: Successful clusters require not just the proximity but the collaboration of different groups such as entrepreneurs, investors, universities, research organisations, science parks, businesses and local government


The full report is well worth a read.
