Green technologies and Smart Specialisation Strategies: a European patent-based analysis of the intertwining of technological relatedness and key enabling technologies (2018, background): “…2012a, p. 14) and inspect the extent to which each and every region can “ecologically modernise” its embedded knowledge-base (Gibbs, 2006) by diversifying it in a related way: that is, through a process that economic geography has recently termed “regional branching” (Boschma and Frenken 2011a).”
The emergence of new technology-based industries: the case of fuel cells and its technological relatedness to regional knowledge bases (2016, methodology): “Consequently, the concept of technological relatedness has become an important element in understanding the creation of new varieties and the formation of new regional industrial paths (Boschma and Frenken, 2011; Neffke et al., 2011).”
Regional innovation policies for new path development – beyond neo-liberal and traditional systemic views (2018, background): “1 Branching implies that new paths emerge from industries and capabilities already existing in the region, often based on ‘ related variety ’ and related diversification processes (Boschma & Frenken, 2011).”
Regional Branching and Key Enabling Technologies: Evidence from European Patent Data (2017, background): “The preexisting industry structure is a crucial determinant of the development path that a region embraces and the economic growth from which it can benefit (Boschma and Frenken 2011a, 2011b).”
Perspectives on Cluster Evolution: Critical Review and Future Research Issues (2015, background): “Cluster emergence is partially caused by what has previously happened in the region (and globally), and thus relates to already available local capabilities, routines and institutions (Boschma & Frenken, 2011).”
