The research interests of CIND spring from a series of interlinked questions concerning knowledge- and innovation-driven industrial transformation and growth, and the spatial preconditions and outcomes of such processes. How is the performance of a firm affected by the conditions that prevail at its place of location, and why do some local milieus (regions, cities, nations) prosper while others do not? Why do similar or related firms so often locate near to each other, and how are such patterns of regional specialisation reproduced over time?
