It is well documented that robotics clusters, groups of regionally localized robotics companies, enthusiastic investors, universities and research institutions, and other supporting organizations, act as facilitators and accelerators for robotics innovation, new business formation, job creation and regional wealth generation. For companies developing robotics solutions (both large and small), as well as individual engineers, awareness and understanding of the outsized role robotics clusters play in the growth of the overall robotics sector, particularly as it relates to business planning and partnership opportunities, is critical. In this panel session, representatives from various robotics clusters will describe how clusters support robotics companies and robotics communities, and by extension, career opportunities. Topics include:
– Global Robotics Clusters
– Partnering with Robotics Clusters
– Conclusions and Recommendations
