[11]      For example, Sweden developed expertise in speciality steel products due to its iron ore deposits and in timber products due to its forests.

[12]      For example, over five centuries after Gutenberg invented the printing press, around half the world’s printing presses were still being manufactured in central Germany.

[13]      For example, Silicon Valley (headquarters to leading IT companies such as Apple, eBay, Google and Yahoo!) developed near the Californian universities, as did Silicon Fen around Cambridge.

[14]      For example, Basel’s success as a cluster for the pharmaceuticals industry partly reflects its former importance in the dye industry.

[15]      For example, Hollywood has such a concentration of actors, writers, directors, cinematographers, producers, costume and set designers, lighting specialists and so forth that it remains the leading centre for film production despite relatively high costs.
