7 industries at the center of Capital Region's new approach for winning state money: https://www.bizjournals.com/albany/n...-clusters.html
From a portion of the article: “ The CREDC's regional strategies will be focused on these industry clusters:

Logistics and distribution

Cleantech, including offshore wind and power

Research and development to commercialization

Life sciences, including drug manufacturing, medical device manufacturing and health care

Advanced electronics

Software and IT, including digital gaming

And creative arts, food and tourism

The CREDC will prioritize the growth of tech hubs by concentrating projects within a 24-minute drive of each industry anchor. That includes prioritizing the siting of warehousing, parts manufacturing, research and development, startups and administrative support operations within a 24-minute drive of each cluster’s "core." “

and: “The council has identified the cores as:

GlobalFoundries' Fab 8 in Malta

The offshore wind industry that's blooming at the Port of Albany

GE Power in Schenectady

Regeneron Pharmaceuticals in East Greenbush

AngioDynamics in Glens Falls

NY CREATES at the Albany NanoTech Complex

Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute's Games and Simulation Arts and Sciences program in Troy

This strategy differs from what the region prioritized in the past, when much of the plan was shaped by large-scale projects that made their pitch for money each year, with winners announced at a grand event in December.”

Cree is gearing up hiring in Utica, Albany for production to start next year: https://www.bizjournals.com/albany/n...Pos=0#cxrecs_s

From the article: "Cree Inc., the North Carolina semiconductor manufacturer building a new $1 billion factory near Utica, has grown to around 150 employees between Albany and Utica as it looks to start production early next year.

The manufacturer has grown from an initial group of eight employees, and is looking to add hires at the same pace in 2022, including hiring engineers, technicians and other shared services positions.

It's a feat for the manufacturer in this tough hiring market. Cree said it is hosting a job fair Thursday, July 15, at the Delta by Marriott in Utica to fill more than 25 immediate openings at its Utica and Albany locations, including manufacturing, process, factory automation, equipment technicians and more.

The company has said it plans to have 270 jobs in Marcy near Utica by 2023 and over 400 jobs at the factory by 2026. By 2029, Cree is expected to employ at least 614 people at the facility.

Cree planned to start moving tools into the cleanroom space by this summer. The factory is on track to start production of its first silicon carbide wafers in January 2022."
