  5. Global Competitiveness Indicators Global Competitiveness Index –a competitiveness index initially based on Michael Porters Business Competitiveness Index. The index measures among others innovation inputs (government and fiscal policies, education and innovation environments) and outputs (patents, technology transfer, R&D, business process innovation etc…). Global Innovation Index –is published annually since 2013 by a partnership of three organisations, Cornell University, INSEAD graduate business school and World Intellectual Property Rights. The indicator ranks economies policies supporting an innovative environment and the actual innovation outputs International Innovation Index – focussing on counties’ level of innovation two US based entities Boston Consulting Group and National Association of Manufacturers

Cluster Development Concept • Clusters are geographic concentrations of interconnected companies, specialized suppliers, service providers, and associated institutions in a particular field that are present in a nation or region. • Clusters arise because they increase the productivity with which companies can compete.  • The development and upgrading of clusters is an important agenda for governments, companies, and other institutions. • Cluster development initiatives are an important new direction in economic policy, building on earlier efforts Source: Michael E Porter, 2008
