In a previous report (Glover et al, 2005), we assessed the nine industry clusters targeted by the GACC according to their labor market suitability and their potential for industry engagement. In this report, we chose two industry clusters for further work: biosciences/biomedical/pharmaceutical products and wireless technology. Both are emerging clusters, populated by small firms, and characterized by fast-changing technologies. About 100 firms in each cluster are located in the Greater Austin area. Both hold promise for significant development in Austin. After securing approval from our WorkSource Board advisors, we have conducted further investigation of the biosciences and wireless technology clusters. This report summarizes our findings to date on the labor market in biotechnology/biomedical/pharmaceutical products in Austin.
