Les cas à l’étude sont les grappes de l’aérospatiale et du vêtement à Montréal, ainsi que de l’agroalimentaire et des sciences et technologies maritimes dans la région du Bas‐Saint‐Laurent. Les grappes industrielles sont généralement définies comme des arrangements d’entreprises, d’acteurs gouvernementaux, d’instances publiques locales et d’organisations intermédiaires concentrés sur un territoire local. Or, l’étude montre que la structuration d’une grappe met en œuvre des acteurs et des processus fonctionnant à plusieurs échelles, du local jusqu’au global. Elle montre aussi l’importance d’un leadership sectoriel reconnu par les divers acteurs.

The aim of this study is to expand some aspects of research on this subject, looking more closely at the role of local institutions in endogenous dynamics of development and the mechanisms inherent to small scale innovation systems in non-metropolitan regions. The comparative analysis is focused on the regions of La Pocatiere and Olds in Canada, Aurillac in France and Gembloux in Belgium.

This article compares the construction of regional advantage and the development paths of specific industries in two different types of non-metropolitan regions, La Pocatière in Canada and Tromsø in Norway. The authors observe a higher level of industrial dynamism in La Pocatière than in Tromsø. They find four explanations for this variation: (1) a narrower regional innovation system (RIS) in Tromsø; (2) the fact that the target industry in Tromsø (marine biotechnology) is, in general, more difficult to develop outside metropolitan regions than the diverse mechanical engineering industry found in La Pocatière; (3) a biased focus on the development of research-based knowledge and academic spin-offs in Tromsø compared with a more varied set of strategies used in La Pocatière; and (4) La Pocatière's location in proximity to the Quebec metropolitan region.
