Abstract
With the success of a number of digital clusters across the world, many cities are now competing to create their own. The benefits of highly paid, fulfilling jobs and the support for general entrepreneurship that comes with a strong digital cluster are obvious advantages. This chapter outlines two digital cluster case studies from Swansea and Bath and explains how they are creating and running digital clusters in two very different cities in the UK, through a strong partnership approach. These case studies will help set out a blueprint for how to create successful digital clusters that support entrepreneurial developments and instigate lasting change to benefit the city region.
