This study examines how clusters can strengthen the resilience of their embedded firms ¿ particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) ¿ facing global crises with local impacts. Based on qualitative evidence from the Valencian textile cluster in Spain during the COVID-19 pandemic, the findings reveal that activating the cluster¿s institutional infrastructure was crucial to fostering SMEs¿ collaboration and collective action. These coordinated responses enhanced their capacity to adapt, survive, and remain competitive in an increasingly disruptive environment.The study of reference was supported by the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation under Projects PID2020-118340RB-100 and PID2021-128878NB-100 (AEI/FEDER) and by the Valencian Government through the PhD Grant ACIF/2021/322.
