N2  - Since 2006, Spain has fostered an industrial policy in support of business groups in order to promote the dynamics of innovation at a territorial and sectoral level. This study makes an initial evaluation of the impacts of this policy. The first section describes the scope of the measures in the European context. The second part of the paper discusses the requirements for a business cluster to be considered an innovative agent, as provided by the programme. The criteria for identifying innovative business groups (IBGs), their linkage to the production environment and, likewise, the activities and initiatives pertaining to IBGs are defined in detail. The study concludes with a brief evaluation of the impact of the IBG support programme
