Clusters bringing identity to the Airport City
By defining clusters, eco-systems can grow organically
Clusters are well-defined ecosystems, usually tied to a specific industry or interest group. The power of such clusters lies in the high level of loyalty and identification with that particular cluster, as it raises awareness of the members' challenges. However, such clusters also provide services for their members, such as education and exchange programmes.
The advantage of an Airport City being home to such a cluster is that tenants and other partners recognise the location as a "place to be". Workforce can be found more easily within such clusters, and the provided services make the location attractive to employees. Cooperation is easier due to short distances and the possibility of networking in person.
For an airport city development perspective, clusters are of a huge advantage but it costs effort to build it. You should find out which cluster you can build at your airport!
