Abstract

The article discusses the phenomenon of temporary clusters that includes such events as scientific and practitioner-oriented conferences and international trade fairs. Similar to geographical (permanent) clusters such events bring together representatives of firms and non-profit organizations and provide an opportunity for informal and sporadic interactions only but in short and intensified form. The article reports results of empirical inquiry into firms’ participation in conferences from 1993 to 2012 and its relationship with innovation performance.
