Upgrading and Clustering in Traditional Industries: The Wine Sector

theme Theme 3: Knowledge and industrial dynamics 
time frame 2002-2005 
researcher(s) Lynn K. Mytelka
description The project has looked comparatively at a set of case studies on wine clusters in Canada, Chile, Argentina, Brazil/Uruguay, South Africa, Australia and the Czech Republic. The objective was to better understand the ways in which clusters are transformed into dynamic innovation systems under conditions of intense international competition and technological change. The case studies mapped actors and their interactions within these clusters and analysed their practices and potential for technological upgrading and innovation.
