The Oregon Business Plan has launched the Oregon Cluster Network to identify Oregon’s mature, emerging, and potential industry clusters and assist cluster participants as they work to accelerate innovation and the growth of their industries. By consciously connecting industry leaders with university researchers, schools, media, venture capital, and other resources, the network will help cluster facilitators across the state share best practices and develop a regional collaborative advantage.  Using cluster organizations to generate new prospects for business recruitment, develop relevant economic & market data, and guide public policy will help strengthen the Oregon economy.  

OregonClusters.org is a joint effort of the Oregon Business Plan, the Governor's Office, and the Oregon Economic and Community Development Department.  It aims to promote economic development in Oregon by providing comprehensive information on traded industry clusters that are important sources of innovation, entrepreneurship and employment growth in the state and facilitating collaboration between the public and private sector to create effective incentives to support the growth of traded industry clusters.

The Oregon Business Council also seeks input from Oregon's clusters to shape the Oregon Business Plan Agenda.  For more information about the Oregon Business Plan, visit OregonBusinessPlan.org. To post information on OregonClusters.org, please email eredman@ecgroup.com.
