TY  - JOUR
AB  - It is increasingly acknowledged that clusters do not necessarily exhibit networks of local collective learning. Through a case-study of Sophia-Antipolis this study investigates to what extent networks of collective learning emerged throughout the growth of the business park. A longitudinal analysis of the inventor networks of its two main sectors reveals that a local network of collective learning emerged only in Information Technology and not in Life Sciences. Through the creation of spin-offs and high-tech start-up firms the initial dominance of large multinationals decreased only in Information Technology. This suggests that small firms play an important role in establishing local networks.
