What Is A Cluster?
Clusters are interconnected companies and institutions working in an industry that shares a specialized infrastructure and talent pool for competitive advantage, and job wealth creation. Think Silicon Valley, Wall Street or Hollywood. Industry clusters like these exist naturally; a cluster organization enables deliberate, strategic, and efficient collaboration. A cluster organization like Chicagoland Food & Beverage Network acts as a hub and brings it all together.
We strive to:
Increase Efficiency
- Facilitate cost-sharing (e.g., joint-purchasing)
- Provide cluster-specific business development
- Assess and build the ecosystem of support services (e.g., workforce training)
- Facilitate commercialization and application of new technologies
- Enable firms to strategically connect to each other, to innovation opportunities, and to new markets
- Build connections between firms, academic, philanthropic and government partners
- Draw new companies and activity to region
