The APIDT advocated an increase of industrial R&D, supported by greater public resources via matching grants and soft loans, to reorient part of the activities of existing research laboratories and institutes toward industry-oriented and market-driven research (EPU, 1990). The plan aimed to promote cluster approaches where small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) could build upon their relationships with the MNEs they supply to enhance their capability (called “cluster-based industrial development” strategy). The Multimedia Super Corridor (MSC) can be seen as a key initiative in that regard: w'orld-class infrastructure is made available on a specific territory to attract the E&E leaders. The foundation acts as a broker, identifying both the needs and the relevant experts, and assists the commercial arrangement.
