Portland 2007

This international study grew from the TCI 2007 Annual Conference in Portland-USA, and shows the benefit of cluster practitioners getting together, agreeing to work together and moving knowledge of clusters forward.

32 TCI Latin American members met in Portland-Oregon on October 10, as they were in the city to participate in the 10th Annual Conference of TCI.

Another conference comes to its end and again it was a great opportunity to meet old friends, get new connection and learn from each other. As always there will be positive and negative feedback from the participants, but sure we will remember this as a special conference.

Portland, Oregon has been selected as the host site for the 2007 TCI Global Conference. This year's conference is jointly hosted by the states of Oregon and Washington, and the City of Portland. The theme for 2007 is "Collaboration, Innovation, and Sustainability".

Klaus Haasis and the team from MFG in Stuttgart received us and a group of TCI members working in the field of evaluation in their facilities on February 15 and 16 to discuss the next steps for the greenbook on evaluation, which will be presented at the annual conference in Portland this year.
