Regional Robot Clusters: What to Compare
Clusters differ more in specialisation than in size.
Compare on these dimensions
| Dimension | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Specialisation | Components, complete machines or integration |
| Supply chain depth | How much can be sourced locally |
| Skills | Availability of engineers and technicians |
| Logistics | Ports, rail and road access |
| Policy support | Grants, land and testing facilities |
How to use the comparison
- Match the cluster to your own position in the value chain.
- Visit before committing; published statistics miss practical constraints.
- Talk to existing tenants about lead times and recruitment.
