Technology Cluster Strategy

In the summer of 2009, students in Los Alamos National Laboratory’s MBA program completed an assessment of Northern New Mexico’s Technology Cluster under the leadership of Steve Stringer, Industrial Fellow at LANL. The resulting Technology Cluster Strategy has led to a strong private sector partnership with the New Mexico Technology Council, which is working in partnership with REDI to grow the cluster and establish a Technology Leadership Council for the region.

NMTC is now forming a ‘Northern New Mexico Leadership Council’ to connect technology-oriented serve as a forum to improve coordination of program, policy and other efforts among several Northern New Mexico organizations whose mission currently includes technology-oriented business development. In the coming year, NMTC will develop a communications strategy to highlight regional technology success stories to raise public awareness about the importance of technology in the economy and to build value for Northern New Mexico’s technology brand and create programs that build and identify Northern New Mexico participants, build connections between them, and develop opportunities for projects and other work that can lead to business formation.
