Abstract
In The Netherlands, particularly in the Wageningen region, many requirements for a concentration of plant biotechnology firms were met. Ample scientific knowledge of plants and of biotechnology was available, thanks to the presence of Wageningen University and Research Centre. And Dutch horticulture would have been a large market, consisting of innovative firms. But such a plant biotechnology cluster has not emerged. Why not?
