Born Exporting in the Mould cluster of Marinha Grande
Description
Empirical evidence on the start-up of two plastic moulds exporters located in Marinha Grande, Portugal, illustrates the process through which location within a cluster contribute to explain how start-ups manage to be “born” exporters. Relations within a cluster tend to be frequent and long lasting, encouraging information flows and trust. These play an important role in detecting opportunities and in accessing resources. Furthermore, outward oriented clusters attract foreign buyers and facilitate unplanned contacts.
