Abstract: Understanding financial and industrial dynamics as well as the rapid innovation flows that circulate worldwide, is indispensable when addressing the question of clusters and their relevance. The governance of clusters is indeed complex as it requires that geographical and organizational proximity coexists, even though agents present in clusters are in fact involved in global economic and financial spheres. The objective of the study is to show, taking as example the biopharmaceutical industry, the global network structures and geography of interactions of two categories of agents that participate in clusters, companies in the industry and venture capital firms, and how the different layers interconnect, with a focus on leaders in each system and on those that liaise both systems.
