Introduction
•
Examine the key issues that will shape economic and
workforce development in the region for the next 10 years
 Identify the key economic drivers that will shape
the region’s economic and workforce development
 Develop regional indices to compare San Jose
(MSA) with comparable high technology regions by
each of the economic drivers identified, and
 Identify the region’s strengths and weaknesses as
they relate to the economic drivers
4
Economic Drivers
I.
The integration of the international economy within the
regional marketplace,
II. The growth and evolution of high technology clusters,
and
III. The re-birth of advanced manufacturing in Silicon
Valley.

Integration of the International Economy
Results of the regional globalization index show that of the 379
US metro areas that were evaluated, San Jose ranked 10th
nationally

Evolution of Technology Clusters
Biotechnology and the life sciences – The most established
of the new wave of industry clusters with over 10,000 currently
employed in this industry within Santa Clara County
Clean technology – is the market driven response to
use innovative technology to produce cleaner goods and
services (renewable energy, transportation, water. . .)
Nanotechnology - like information technology twenty years
ago provides the promise of designing and building more
complex products with greater efficiency

Rebirth of Advanced Manufacturing
San Jose had the highest regional concentration of advanced
manu. employment in two of the three sectors examined

Conclusions I
I.
Remain vigilant in developing and expanding the innovation
economy –
•
II.
The region is currently leading the country in many
measures of innovative activity but other regions are
committed to catching up.
Regional government must play a stronger supporting role in
the next wave of economic growth –
•
Unlike information technology which is relatively
unregulated, healthcare and the energy industry are
highly regulated and present a very different economic
environment than what the region faced in the late 90’s.
9
Conclusions II
III. Fostering the region’s international connectivity will support
emerging clusters and strengthen advanced manufacturing
in the region –
•
The three economic drivers identified in this study are
highly connected and policies or events that positively or
negatively influence one will likely have a domino effect
on the others
IV. The development of production and manufacturing
opportunities should be a key metric in evaluating economic
development success.
10
Questions to Consider
•
The key questions generated from the study
 Will the region’s connectivity to the international
economy, insulate it from the domestic economic
downturn?
 Will the emerging industry clusters become the
dominant employers in the region and if so when?
 Will the next wave of advanced manufacturing in
the region create a sizeable number of middleincome jobs that have been on the decline in the
region?

Lets Define
• Clean Technology
• Renewable Energy
• Green Industry/Technology
Clean Technology
Cleantech is a term used to describe knowledgebased products or services that improve
operational performance, productivity, or efficiency
while reducing costs, inputs, energy consumption,
waste, or pollution. Its origin is the increased
consumer, regulatory and industry interest in clean
forms of energy generation—specifically, perhaps,
the rise in awareness of global warming and the
impact on the natural environment from the burning
of fossil fuels.
Renewable Energy
By definition, renewable energy is "clean" - producing
few or no hazardous emissions or pollutants, and
having minimal impact on fragile ecosystems. There
are five main types of renewable energy: hydro,
biomass, geothermal, solar and wind.
Green Technology
Green Technology includes products and
processes that conserve the natural environment
and resources and minimize the negative effect
of human activity on the environment. The field
of “green technology” is continuously evolving
and diverse.
Job Market
Clean/Green technology impacts many sectors of the economy
and will result in both the creation and redesign of a broad
range of jobs. A study conducted by Cleantech Network, a
venture capital firm for green business, predicts that a half
million new jobs in ecologically responsible trades will
emerge in the next three years alone.
The City of San Jose’s Green Vision goal is to create 25,000
new jobs by 2014.

Workforce Demand in Energy & Technology
The Solar industry is one of the largest component in Energy
Generation. A recent assessment of Solar’s current and
future workforce in Silicon Valley revealed•
Currently 1,500 workers in Silicon Valley in Solar Industry
•
Industry growth is currently at about 35 percent per year
•
By 2017, Silicon Valley expect another 10,000 to 20,000
solar workers – 60% manufacturing & installation, 20%
sales & marketing, and 20 percent in engineering

Solar Industry –Bay Area
There are approximately 800 firms in California, of which 32%
are located in the Bay Area. The majority of Bay Area solar
firms (82%) are small—less than 25 employees.

Nanotechnology
“Nanotechnology plays a critical role as an “enabling platform technology,” for
emerging high growth sectors including Nano-Bio and Clean Technologies.
Nanotechnology has immense potential to generate economic growth in California
because of its profound impact on a wide spectrum of industries. In the United
States, the National Science Foundation forecasts up to 2 million jobs will be created
in the next 15 years utilizing nanotechnology. It is estimated that approximately
200,000 jobs in nanotechnology will be created in the State of California by 2020.”
