Last November, J.E. Austin Associates and the Kenan Institute Asia (KIAsia) began working as part of the "Southeast Asia Competitiveness Iniciative" (SEACI) in Thailand, Vietnam and Cambodia. SEACI, sponsored by U.S. AID, is supporting these countries with cluster development as part of helping them recover from the 1997 Asian Crisis.

As a first step, KIAsia sponsored workshops and roundtable discussion to educate representatives from the three countries on what clusters were and how cluster development has been used successfully in other countries. Over the course of the next year, step two will be the implementation of the actual strategies within each country.
