Technology Clusters Versus Industry Clusters: Resources, Networks, and Regional Advantages (2006, methodology): “For example, in a Brookings Institute report issued in 2002, forty-one communities were pursuing a bio-technology cluster strategy even though 75 percent of the nation’s largest bio-technology ﬁrms are concentrated in just nine regions (Cortright and Mayer 2002).”
U.S. energy research and development: Declining investment, increasing need, and the feasibility of expansion (2007, background): “The 5,000 firms in the industry signed 10,000 technology agreements during the 1990s, and the sector added over 100,000 new jobs in the last 15 years (Cortwright and Meyer, 2002).”
Developing Biotechnology Clusters in Non‐high Technology Regions—The Case of Austria (2007, background): “Academic research on the spatial pattern of the biotechnology sector has shown that this highly science‐based industry is characterized by strong tendencies towards geographical concentration (Feldman, 2001 ; Cortright and Mayer, 2002 ).”
Local Nodes in Global Networks: The Geography of Knowledge Flows in Biotechnology Innovation (2005, background): “Cortright and Mayer (2002) report that since 1996, 75 percent of new VC investment in the USA was located in the five largest biotech clusters (Boston, San Francisco, San Diego, Seattle and Raleigh-Durham).”
The Locational Dynamics of the U.S. Biotech Industry: Knowledge Externalities and the Anchor Hypothesis (2005, background): “The Boston and San Francisco areas, where the industry is noted to have had its origins in the 1970s are among the leaders (Cortright and Mayer 2002).”
Careers and Clusters: Analyzing the Career Network Dynamic of Biotechnology Clusters (2005, background): “…firms was risk-adverse and conservative (limiting inter-firm mobility through long-term employment practices and limited new start-up ventures), the same region now boasts a leading biotechnology cluster full of small riskacceptant firms and flexible local labor markets (Cortright and Mayer, 2003).”
