  • Data by Cluster

    A cluster is a regional concentration of related industries that arise out of the various types of linkages or externalities that span across industries in a particular location. The U.S. Benchmark Cluster Definitions are designed to enable systemic comparison across regions. View and compare clusters across the U.S.

  2. United States High Technology Office Outlook 2013

United States High Technology Office Outlook 2013

by cmp.admin Fri, 11/15/2013 - 12:02

Commercial real estate services firm Jones Lang LaSalle's third annual High-Technology Office Outlook is a comprehensive study of one of the most innovative and dynamic industries in the United States, its impact on local economies, and the growth generated within the commercial real estate sector. From Detroit and the automobile industry in the early 1900s to the San Francisco Bay Area in the 21st century, many predecessors of innovation and advancement have existed over the years, emerging with each new era. This report highlights the emergence of today's clusters of innovation across the United States, offering insight into the growth of smaller pockets as well as substantiated evidence supporting the dominance of the high tech industry's core markets. Today, location plays an important role in the success of a high-technology company. In this report, we will take you from Silicon Valley and its tech giants to Minneapolis and an emerging cluster to demonstrate just how this industry is pushing the needle in local economies across the United States.
