Why is it important?

Based on a discussion of spatial spillovers and the way they shape the evolutionary and symbiotic relationships between local agents and actors, including university, industry and local development agencies, the symposium highlights the relevance of this framework for a better understanding of the transformation of local economic development processes.

Perspectives

This symposium focuses primarily on an urban network view of the innovation process and proximal effects in this context.
