Tiivistelmä
This paper analyses industrial clusters in the Helsinki Metropolitan Area (HMA) in Finland. The HMA is the largest and most powerful concentration of population and economic activity in Finland. The paper analyses knowledge intensive industrial clusters and their structures. Clusters are identified according to statistical analysis that provides analytical perspective on the knowledge intensive economic geography of the HMA. Knowledge-based industries focusing on immaterial products tend to have closer central proximity than other industries but variations are extensive. The cluster diversity indicates that HMA has gained critical threshold for manifesting agglomeration gains that generates and extends industrial diversities within key-clusters. The most diverse clusters tend to locate in the urban core whereas the more narrowly focused clusters may be found in relatively peripheral locations.
