21.4: Innovation Clusters
Support Regional Innovation Clusters Other Information:
Thriving innovation clusters across the country like the North Carolina Research Triangle Park and Nashville's thriving entertainment
cluster prove that local stakeholders can successfully come together and help reshape their local economies. Barack Obama
and Joe Biden will create a federal program to support "innovation clusters" -- regional centers of innovation and next-generation
industries. This innovation clusters program will provide $200 million in planning and matching grants for regional business,
government, and university leaders to collaborate on leveraging a region's existing assets -- from transportation infrastructure
to universities -- to enhance long-term regional growth.
