The Texas Industry Cluster Initiative is leading the state toward realizing Governor
Rick Perry's vision to build the future economy of
the state of Texas by focusing on strengthening competitive
advantage through six target industry clusters.
"This cluster initiative is important because for the first time in the history
of this state, we will have a coordinated, market-driven
economic development strategy that focuses on areas
where we have the greatest growth potential and focuses
on fostering that potential." - Governor Rick Perry
The
assessment phase of this initiative actively engaged
a broad cross-section of over 700 stakeholders throughout
the state. Collectively, the findings and recommendations
call for strategies to develop a skilled workforce,
a competitive education system, and an effective
commercialization process for products and technology
supported by a highly efficient supply chain.
