| The Use of Clusters to Build an ICT Industry |
| Edith Cowan University, Australia |
| The potential in the Information and Computer Technology (ICT) sector to generate economic develop-ment and |
| create pathways for a region into the Knowledge Economy (KE) has become widely accepted. Underpinning the |
| theoretical understanding of what KE can offer has been the practical application of Porter’s competitive theory |
| relating to industry cluster development. The increasing role of clusters in KE and a greater focus on regional |
| growth is seen in the development of a variety of dedicated technol-ogy zones aiming to emulate the success of |
| Silicon Valley in the United States, the site of the original modern IT cluster. |
