Target Industry Clusters
Clusters are concentrations of companies and their vendors, suppliers and organizations that support their growth and development.
Durham and The Research Triangle Region offer world-class resources to businesses in the following industry clusters:
- Life Sciences
- Pervasive Computing
- Advanced Medical Care
- Analytical Instrumentation
- Nanoscale Technologies
- Informatics
These industry clusters constitute clusters in which the region is a world leader in research and development.
In addition, Durham and the Triangle are working to develop new industry clusters in the following areas:
- Vehicle component parts
- Environmental product design and manufacturing
- Fuel cell technologies product design and manufacturing
- Robotic process and testing equipment
- Financial services
The last five clusters represent both traditional and new clusters which thrive in our region because of its easy access to key East Coast/European distribution networks as well as reasonable business costs and a highly-skilled workforce.
