This paper evaluates and analyses the role played by intermediary organisations in consolidating the position of an emerging resource-based cluster in exports markets. Through a purpose-built typology, the argument is made that organisations undertaking important intermediary functions act not only to facilitate the transfer and diffusion of knowledge, as previous literature has emphasized, but that in emerging clusters, their scope of activities, extending into leading joint actions by producers, coordinating new investment and enabling new knowledge, places intermediaries at the centre of the network of organisations. The implications of this for the governance of the cluster, including inclusion of diverse producers is discussed.
