Space Coast Clusters
Outline for today
✓The task: Design and implement cluster strategy
✓The model: How clusters form
✓Our approach: Analysis, activation, support
✓Our progress: Results, where we stand
✓Next steps: The road ahead
The TaskDesign and implement cluster strategies for the Space Coast
The TaskIntroduce disciplines that lead to shared value
How clusters formTrusted networks “learn to link” and leverage assets
The process Developing an innovating cluster takes time, focus and discipline
The process Time, focus and discipline
Our approach1) Identify 2) Activate and 3) Support
Identification: What are our assets and how could they be connected?
Activation: What are our priority collaborative investments?
Support: How do we leverage and sustain collaborative innovation?

IdentificationFocus on five established clusters
1) Clean Energy2) Information Technology, Telecommunications3) Defense, Security4) Aerospace, Aviation5) Life Sciences, Bio-Sciences
Insights from identificationOpportunities emerge at the edges
Insights from identificationOpportunities emerge at the edges
Insights from activationRegion needs continued work to develop collaborative habits
Boundaries discourage open innovation
SupportOur work successfully leveraged over $5 million in outside funding
Next step insights•Who leads? Who is “the pusher” for cluster development?•Who “owns” cluster incubation?•How do we make the Space Coast a national leader in cluster development?
Next stepsThe Regionerate role moving forward
