The Maine Technology Institute and Maine’s Office of Innovation are scheduled today to release a report on how to strengthen Maine’s technology industry clusters.
The report, “Maine’s Technology Sectors and Clusters: Status and Strategy,” stresses the importance of supporting technology clusters to help Maine create a technology-intensive economy, and makes recommendations, such as continuing to support research & development in the state and expanding educational opportunities, to move towards that goal.
At the press conference, MTI will also announce a $50,000 grant to the Down East Business Alliance in Ellsworth to study the potential cluster benefits farmers and food processors in Washington and Hancock counties could realize from collaboration.
