Abstract

Regional embeddeness of the information economy in Germany. The development of clusters in the information economy in Hamburg, Dresden and the Technology Region of Karlsruhe. Enterprises that belong to the information economy (IE) have an explicit tendency towards clustering. This paper takes a closer look at the reasons and driving forces for regional clustering within the IE and questions the relevance of different theoretical concepts to explain regional clusters. The paper is based on the analysis of three German IE clusters and follows an explorative, actororiented approach. The analysis confirms that local labour markets, advantages through proximity to services, research institutes and co-operation partners as well as personal and institutional networks play a significant role for IE enterprises. However, these general patterns are modified by sectoral and regional tendencies. A typical development path for the regional embeddedness of IE-enterprises could not be detected.
