Summary/Abstract: We place this research in the context of the new EU industrial strategy call for encouragement of “place-based innovation and experimentation” with “a new focus on industrial ecosystems”. Public attention is redirected again to the basic coordinates of modern competition – value chains and location – although the strategic agenda is compounded by “different risks and needs” of an industry. We illustrate the challenge in the context of a confluence of emergent processes on three levels – industry, cluster, and country, along two dimensions of competitive upgrading – institutional and technological. Against this background, the investigation surveys the climate of cluster development of life sciences in Romania.
