Sometimes it puzzles me why competitors chose to locate themselves in one particular geographic region. Proponents of industrial clustering tend to explain this through arms-length learning and innovation spillovers, and lowered search costs for the consumers. What do you think?

I believe that to some point they wish to create clusters, which - potentially, may help them to start collaboration and hence to increase their competitive advantage. I guess that smths it may be also be conditiened by accesibility of e.g. resources.

Competitors may operate side by side due to the fact that they use analogous or same sources of production factors and may have the same outlets for their offer.
