When the Temporary Becomes Permanent:

Exploration of the Role of Events and Places in the Emergence of New Regional Activities

Abstract: Economic geography recognises the critical role of temporary clusters in the global connectivity of industries and innovation dynamics, and emphasises how these events complement the knowledge circulating within regions. Yet, how these short-term settings can trigger the structuring of new innovative activities in a region is only partially understood. Extending this line of work, we examine the development of projection mapping in Montreal (Canada) and show how local preconditions were catalysed by these events. We also identify the necessary coupling between temporary organizations and more permanent micro-settings to structure a new activity locally.
