Abstract: The profound changes in the world economy in the last few decades accompanied by the duality of de-territorialising and territorialising forces has seen an increased interest in localised growth in the spatial economy. This pilot study deals with identifying an emerging logistics cluster in Jonkoping, Sweden, by using qualitative and quantitative measures. Based on these findings, a conceptual model is developed which can be a basis for further studies of logistics clusters. There is a need for further research on such clusters, especially their role in a global-local context as well as from supply-chain perspectives.
