Abstract: Abstract This chapter summarises the recurring barriers identified and their impact on the vision of clusters as a focus for value creation. It underlines the crucial importance of more timely feedback on operating conditions on the ground, to better inform policies on emerging needs, challenges and opportunities that also impact on economic outcomes. This is presented as complementing the role of models dealing with the factors and condition in the market. The chapter highlights the economic advantages of better leveraging the distributed knowledge of stakeholders on the ground, and the potential for more pro-active involvement of Universities in mediating this, through collaborative and practice–based research on the ground.
