U.S. Cluster Mapping Project

The U.S. Cluster Mapping Project is a national economic development initiative led by Harvard Business School Professor Michael Porter through the Institute for Strategy and Competitiveness, with support from partners around the country and a federal grant from the U.S. Department of Commerce, Economic Development Administration.

Strengthening U.S. Competitiveness

The U.S. Cluster Mapping Project aims to strengthen U.S. competitiveness by helping clusters and regions understand and improve their economic composition and performance. While much national economic debate has focused on macroeconomic challenges, most of the critical drivers of U.S. competitiveness are regional, and clusters are a central part of this framework. To fuel this region-based effort, the U.S. Cluster Mapping website offers statistical and visual data that assess business environment characteristics, reports and studies that highlight effective economic development strategies, and a directory that profiles cluster organizations and initiatives throughout the country.
