Most of us know about crafting economic development strategies around a region's
"Star Clusters" - those that are big and growing, but what can/should we do with the emerging clusters - those that are smaller but also showing great potential for growth? How about focusing entrepreneurship efforts within these areas?
The North Central Indiana WIRED region is considering a business plan competition focused on these growing industry clusters. The bubble chart in this post depicts these areas - in the lower right quadrant. They include Business & Financial Services, Information Technology & Telecommunications, Arts & Entertainment, Defense and Security, Transportation & Logistics, and Apparel and Textiles. This is another example of how a great tool like regional clusters can focus programming.
