The article written by Jerome S. Engel and Itxaso del-Palacio "Global clusters of innovation: The case of Israel and Silicon Valley" reveals the information concerning the notion that came to our lives not long time ago - Clusters of Innovation (COI). The article dwells in-depth on the relationships between different COI and how these links may lead to the creation of Networks of Clusters of Innovation (NCOI), that do have new benefits and this consequently become a starting point of Super-Clusters of Innovation (Super COI). The case study introduced in the article illustrates the necessity to consider all COI in international context, as in globalization era valuable information of other clusters and global resources, inputs and access "can accelerate innovation and cluster development" (Engel, 2011, p.27). The Israel example described in the article picturizes in details the efficiencies that Israel COI get while maintaining connection with other COIs,
