From the analysis of the theory and the interviews conducted, we intend to compare the two clusters, as well as the different forms of interaction that occur in them, verifying how they potentiate the transfer of knowledge and learning among the agents. At the same time, it seeks to verify the innovative dynamics specific to each cluster in the local context, based also on the dynamics and policies to encourage innovation at the national level. The theoretical reference adopted referring to clusters of firms according to a neoschumpeterian approach.
