Cluster
• A geographic concentration of interdependent, collaborating and/or competing businesses and related institutions that draw productive advantage from their mutual proximity and connections…

All right, said another way… A CLUSTER IS
An economic strategy focused on
interconnected businesses within a
regional area

Another Type of Target Cluster….
![Page 5: Stronger Economies Together Cluster Module](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56815bf2550346895dc9e1b1/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)

THE FOUNDATION OF A REGIONAL ECONOMY IS A GROUP OF CLUSTERS…
.
not a collection of unrelated companies!
![Page 7: Stronger Economies Together Cluster Module](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56815bf2550346895dc9e1b1/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Four Rules of High Performing Regions
1. Focus on your region not your jurisdiction
2. Competitive clusters drive regional performance
3. Create regional advantage to enable high performance
4. Collaborative culture enables high performing regions
![Page 8: Stronger Economies Together Cluster Module](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56815bf2550346895dc9e1b1/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Companies cluster together because
• Each one benefits from being located near other similar or related companies
• They have competitive strengths and needs
![Page 9: Stronger Economies Together Cluster Module](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56815bf2550346895dc9e1b1/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Groups are More Cost Effective
• It’s more beneficial and important to work with groups of companies on common problems– e.g.,
• Skills training• Tool & equipment
modernization• Finance capabilities

Lower Risk
• New suppliers proliferate within a cluster because a concentrated customer base lowers risk
![Page 11: Stronger Economies Together Cluster Module](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56815bf2550346895dc9e1b1/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Gaps Create New Businesses
• Individuals working within a cluster can more easily perceive gaps in products or services around which they can build a new business
![Page 12: Stronger Economies Together Cluster Module](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56815bf2550346895dc9e1b1/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Cluster thinking teaches policymakers & ED practitioners to:
• Build on unique strengths of your region
• Engage cluster members in your region
• Dialogue continuously with the companies and support entities in your clusters

What are Sectors?• Primary: those
industries involved in extraction or agriculture
• Secondary: industries that manufacture goods
• Tertiary: industries that provide services, e.g., financial, transportation, retail
• Quaternary: knowledge industry focused on technology R&D, design and development

A Regional Cluster Example• The greater Reno-Carson
Area is a hub of small productions machining and electronic component job shops
• Many re-located to the are in the late 1980’s and 1990’s primarily from southern California due to the collapse of the aerospace industry
