6. Cross sectorial innovation and cross sectorial mapping
OUR KEY MESSAGE WHEN CONTACTING COMPANIES TO WORK ON CROSS SECTORIAL
PROJET
‘’Breakthrough innovation come from the reunion of stakeholders working at the interface
of two or more different industries working together to integrate their knowledge into an
added-value goods or services’’

7. Cross sectorial innovation and cross sectorial mapping
OUR APPROCH IS ALIGNED WITH THE NEW TRADED CLUSTER DEFINITION PROPOSED IN
THE US CLUSTER MAPPING PROJECT
‘’The new cluster definitions propose 51 traded cluster categories while treating the rest of
the economy as local. Traded clusters capture those industries that are serving markets
beyond their own location and that are fully exposed to competition from other locations’’ *
design the strongest existing
‘’Cluster categories capture by linkages among industries, however much economic
dynamism is perceived to occur at the intersection of sectors. But the nature of these
linkages is continuously shifting, driven by new technologies, value chains, and business
models. Effective economic development needs to respond to these trends as it aims to
move a location into more advanced activities.‘’*

ENHANCE INNOVATION AND MOBILISATION BY CROSS SECTORIAL MAPPING
Foster relationship and projects of key players
Cross sectorial traded Clusters
Universities / Technology transfers centers / Companies / Laboratories
Governments / Partners

21. Québec Ground Transportation Cluster
Objective
Develop segments of our industry where
companies are competitive, where markets are
present and will be present for their products
and services through innovation.
Innovation:
R & D by regional, interregional and
international alliances and open innovation.
Markets:
Targeting international markets since the local
market is covered or limited.
ENHANCE INNOVATION AND MOBILISATION BY CROSS SECTORIAL MAPPING

Sub-objectives
A1: Disseminate the results of the
mapping and analysis of the structure
of the value chain
A2: Helping regional government
and organization to select their initiatives
and target champions
A3: Strengthening the competitiveness of
companies, their capacity for innovation
and synergy of the productive system
Help regional businesses to specialize
their products and services in markets
that will undergo a real increase
in the future
Specialize the regional environment to
support the incorporation of
new expertise, know how

NEXT POSSIBLE STEPS TO MOVE FROM A PROJECT BASED T0 A SYSTEMIC
APPROCH IN CROSS SECTORIAL INNOVATION
A1: Strategic analysis of a region
traded clusters
A2: Mobilize the different cluster
governance to foster cooperation
A3: Develop a new emerging cluster branding
that include the different traded clusters
needed in a specific emerging market
Identify trend in products and services
development in key economic segments and
emerging markets
Going further than a project base relationship
Joining key competitive advantages
to strengthen a regional economy with a unify branding
(Example: Quebec Mobility technologies Cluster)
