Space Coast Cluster Workshop

Outcomes for TodayWhat we hope to accomplish

✓Think in new ways about the clusters

✓Understand the power of open innovation

✓Experience how to develop a strategy

Innovation

Productivity

Prosperity

Clusters

Assets

The Big PictureHow clusters -- innovating networks -- can transform a regional economy

Clusters transform our civic economy To make our entire economy more productive

Clusters can create shared valueVital to our productivity

Two tasks1) Identifying clusters and 2) Activating clusters

Identification: What are our assets and how are they connected?

Activation: What is our strategy and what are our priority collaborative investments?

Clusters can find opportunities quicklyExample: Milwaukee Water Council

Beginnings on the Space CoastSpace Coast Energy Consortium

Strategic Doing accelerates trustBy moving people to action quickly

A core team leads the clusterThe team commits to principles of open innovation

Core TeamPrivately led with civic support

Commitment to collaborative innovation (creating shared value)

Rules on information sharing, confidentiality, governance emerge

Higher education anchorsColleges and universities can anchor the cluster

Others align to the clusterDevelopment organizations align to advance the strategy agenda
