From the State Science and Technology Institute:
In Silos of Small Beer, authors Maryann Feldman and Lauren Lanahan examine the efficacy of federal innovation programs on the regional economic development of the eastern Midwest region that includes Pittsburgh in western Pennsylvania; and Cleveland, Akron and Youngstown in northeast Ohio.
Utilizing surveys and one-on-one interviews, the case study not only provides insight into the efficacy of the those federal programs, but also the interaction between actors within the region (e.g., small and medium-sized business, venture capital firms, nonprofit economic development agencies, state and local governments). Researchers found several shortcomings stemming from federal innovation programs and the region in general. However, the report also highlighted some promising news related the emergence of industry clusters in the region.
