Clustering is a government policy whereby firms in a particular sector are located close to one another so they can intermingle, inter-trade and learn from each other.
if you are not part of a cluster - because you are located where you are for historical reasons - you can often get many of the benefits by joining a 'virtual cluster'.
Often support agencies (government funded organisations or self-funding associations) have regular meetings and training sessions ... but increasingly there is support offered by online groups.
Many people view LinkedIn as a vehicle for recruitment - but the real strength of LinkedIn is in its groups. These offer the chance to interact with like-minded individuals and companies .sharing information and asking questions.
obviously, these groups vary in their usefulness - and in their levels of activity... but since you can get email digests of comments posted and questions posed, there is little bto lose - its free and takes little time,
