I am pleased to welcome you to the U.S. Cluster Mapping and Registry Project website where you can access the latest data, tools and information to maximize your economic development efforts. The U.S. Cluster Mapping and Registry Project was created through a strategic investment by the Economic Development Administration (EDA) to Harvard Business School designed to generate new practical, user-friendly cluster tools.
