Let’s take a look at the Local Craft Brewery sub Cluster within the Food Processing Manufacturing NAICS.
Notice the similar Interconnected firms within the sub cluster
Beginning with the list of suppliers – with the goal of bringing everything together so that Southern Tier craft breweries make the best beer anywhere:
hops,
yeast,
water,
barley, wheat, corn oatmeal, flavors:
Equipment vendors;
brew house systems,
fermentation tanks,
kettles and kegs,
canning and bottling systems
Distributors:
Retailers:
Pubs, taproom and bars: special events and festivals
Support services, educators, consultants, training facilities.
All interconnected, all relying on you the brewer to succeed….
So what should come first…. Do we rely on government support agencies to bring us together….or do firms within an industry cluster begin to gather themselves to cooperate and collaborate and invite all in their cluster to the table for discussions (a higher level of sometimes called “Coopetition”) or does an entrepreneur and their investor look at their idea and product gather key companies within their Industry Cluster to have the discussion on ???
product development,
testing, marketing,
supply chain,
procurement and
human resources
to enhance growth and explode onto the scene.
Here of late we have witnessed the Raymond Corporation, Maines, Dick’s, Crown and Cork and Vision’s to just name a few that have extended their outreach into the Southern Tier as Industry Cluster leaders supporting initiatives by the
Agency,
SUNY Binghamton,
Koffman School,
Broome County Chamber of Commerce,
Cornell Cooperative Extension
and this program by Southern Tier 8 .
