Spanish term

casos de frontera

Spanish to English Tech/Engineering Economics
This is from a text comparing technology clusters in Europe and Argentina:

Tomando como base la descripción de los casos de frontera, entonces, se busca identificar límites y potencialidades de los casos locales.

"casos frontera" would be the European cases here, which I assume to be older. "pioneering cases" "groundbreaking cases"... I sort of suspect this might be the translation of a term originally in English...
Thank you!
