Cluster Innovation Again I made statements to the Malaysian Industrial

Development Agency (MIDA) about bonding Arizona and Malaysia (already Az's 3rd highest trading partner) as a solar panel “buying region” (think of it as a new kind of Cluster definition) and Malaysia as the seller Cluster.

I said I wanted power people from (MIDA) to visit in Phoenix with my Governor.

My next year (Arizona bought $2.7 M in panels in 2008). My argument to MIDA (who's charter is for inward investment) is argument to MIDA (who's charter is for inward investment) is does MIDA really care that the $2.7 M is in buying Malaysia’s does MIDA really care that the $2.7 M is in buying Malaysia’s product instead of starting a "new" company. Malaysia gets the product instead of starting a "new" company. Malaysia gets the money into Malaysia, the new jobs, and a healthy kick start of money into Malaysia, the new jobs, and a healthy kick start of their infant industry. their infant industry.
