clusters

The Milken Institute blueprint is a 40-page policy brief on one of the hottest trends for tech-based economic development. The report outlines and describes ten specific strategies for developing a high-tech cluster.

The paper unveils some of the characteristics of Canadian clusters created by spillovers generated by knowledge-intensive industries. The paper also strives to develop the concept of regions as a nexus of competence, a notion that has already been put forward for firms, but that deserves to be extended to regions within nations and, ultimately, to nations as well.

The report indicates that the clusters drive wealth creation in the region by exporting goods and
services and attracting new wealth from both domestic and international markets.

The report indicates that there has been increasing congressional interest in efforts across the country to generate expanded regional economic growth through technological development and the creation of new firms.

Drawing on case studies of 17 initiatives and more than a decade of state and local experience in regional and economic development, this summary describes a framework for regional economic development based on the recognition that healthy regional economies are composed of industry clusters including their supporting economic infrastructure.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the importance of industry clusters on industry income change in nonmetropolitan areas of the states in the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) region of the United States.

The report updates the Clusters Project for Northeast Ohio. Part of the Clusters project is to create a strategic plan for each cluster in Northeast Ohio. The report provides an update on each cluster and the creation of its strategic plan.
