Not all industries will be part of an industry cluster, nor should they be. Clusters, sometimes called “traded clusters” are important for their ability to drive economic growth in a region. To that end, they all have the characteristic that they can or do export goods and services outside of the region in which they exist. Alaska’s established clusters are:
- Advanced Business Services
- Community and Social Services
- Federal Government
- Fishing and Seafood Processing
- Forestry and Wood Products
- Logistics and International Trade
- Military
- Mining
- Oil and Gas
- Specialized Machinery/Capital Goods
- Tourism
