Essential for growing regional innovation clusters

A roadmap answers the question: “As a region, where do we want to be and how do we get there?” The roadmap is an essential tool for growing regional innovation clusters because it:

• Helps identify the unique strengths of a region.
• Characterizes global market drivers and opportunities.
• Assesses the competitive landscape.
• Outlines regional opportunities for growth.

Through a highly collaborative process that draws in various regional stakeholders, NorTech uses a unique roadmapping model, InSeven® by NorTech, to articulate a shared vision for a region, outlining specific opportunities and action plans. Effective roadmaps are built on existing assets in the region that can be leveraged to drive growth in the cluster.
