Description
Introduction
High technology companies tend to cluster around knowledge-producing institutions (Braunerhjelm and Feldman, 2006). Aerospace follows this pattern, and there are well known examples of aerospace clusters located around large prime contracting aerospace producers (Niosi and Zhegu, 2005). A recent trend that is taking momentum is the setting up of manufacturing facilities by leading aerospace companies in Mexico. Objectives
The objective of this study is to investigate the attracting factors of Mexican clusters and to examine some of the country policy measures to incentive the aerospace sector, in order to assess the potential of Mexico to be a relevant part in this world-class high technology industry. Methods
A survey applied to selected aerospace firms in Mexico and interviews with regional governments are the information source. Results
