# 20. Clean and Resilient Economy Contributors

<!-- enrich:begin -->

## TL;DR  *(generated · confidence: high)*

This group submission advocates formally designating Clean & Resilient Economy as a priority traded-sector platform under Business Oregon. Contributors argue Oregon possesses structural competitive advantages—advanced manufacturing expertise, power resources, research institutions, engineering talent—but lacks coordinated economic architecture. They propose an integrated system connecting eight priority industry clusters, innovation and capital formation, workforce systems, infrastructure, and resilience planning. The submission recommends a four-tier governance model led by an Executive Steering Committee, with support from Industry Cluster Councils, Innovation & Capital Advisory, and Regional Advisory Networks. A 90-day activation plan is outlined to establish formal designation, align stakeholders, and signal market intent.

**Key points** *(each cites a PDF page)*:

- Formally designate Clean and Resilient Economy as a priority traded-sector platform under the Prosperity Roadmap and Business Oregon, with Business Oregon named as steward. ([p. 231](https://www.oregon.gov/gov/Documents/Oregon%20Prosperity%20Council%20Report_June%202026.pdf#page=231))
- Identifies eight priority traded-sector clusters for focused concentration: Clean Tech/Adv Mfg, Clean Energy, Transportation & Mobility, Built Environment, Food Systems & Ag, Forestry & Wood Products, Outdoor Gear & Apparel, and Clean Manufacturing. ([p. 233](https://www.oregon.gov/gov/Documents/Oregon%20Prosperity%20Council%20Report_June%202026.pdf#page=233))
- Proposes four-tier governance structure: Executive Steering Committee (state-level), Industry-Led Cluster Councils, Innovation & Capital Advisory, and Regional & Community Advisory Network. ([p. 238](https://www.oregon.gov/gov/Documents/Oregon%20Prosperity%20Council%20Report_June%202026.pdf#page=238))
- Calls for Clean Industry Command Center providing technical assistance, commercialization acceleration, and market access support to retain and scale companies. ([p. 232](https://www.oregon.gov/gov/Documents/Oregon%20Prosperity%20Council%20Report_June%202026.pdf#page=232))
- Advocates structured multi-stage capital access and network of shared applied infrastructure/labs organized around priority clusters and coordinated through public-private partnerships. ([p. 235](https://www.oregon.gov/gov/Documents/Oregon%20Prosperity%20Council%20Report_June%202026.pdf#page=235))
- Emphasizes workforce systems must be responsive to industry demand: aligned talent strategies, expanded clean career pathways, industry-integrated training, and applied labs for faster industry outcomes. ([p. 236](https://www.oregon.gov/gov/Documents/Oregon%20Prosperity%20Council%20Report_June%202026.pdf#page=236))
- Positions resilience (natural systems, built environment, public health, cultural systems, climate adaptation) as economic competitiveness multiplier, not an add-on. ([p. 237](https://www.oregon.gov/gov/Documents/Oregon%20Prosperity%20Council%20Report_June%202026.pdf#page=237))
- 90-day activation pathway: days 0-30 designate platform and validate 3–4 priority clusters; days 30-60 align capital/infrastructure/workforce gaps; days 60-90 announce designation with 12-month operating plan. ([p. 239](https://www.oregon.gov/gov/Documents/Oregon%20Prosperity%20Council%20Report_June%202026.pdf#page=239))

Clean and Resilient Economy input
PREFACE
Thank you for the opportunity to provide input on the Oregon Development Strategy. We’re
providing input with a Clean & Resilient lens.
This document presents an initial growth strategy architecture for organizing and
accelerating Oregon’s Clean and Resilient Economy.
This is not a final strategy or formal consensus document — it is a structured starting point.
Gaps exist, reflecting timing and sequencing, not intentional omission.
The framing reflects publicly available data and input from across stakeholder entities (see
appendix for example source information). We are grateful to the many partners who
contributed insight, perspective and their personal time to help shape this input. We are
acutely aware that that this draft will benefit greatly through more organized activation,
expanded participation, and shared authorship across the ecosystem.
This document is designed to clarify opportunity, provide a shared organizing model, and
accelerate coordinated action. It is intended for a wide audience of leaders and partners
(from economic development, to industry leaders, workforce, academia, capital, public
leadership, and communities/community organizations).
AI was applied to this document content to critique and guide areas needing more clarity.
Thank you again for the opportunity to help Oregon lead in the next economic cycle.
Kind Regards,
Clean and Resilient Economy, contributing citizens

OREGON ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
STRATEGY
Draft
Clean and Resilient Economy input- context
OREGON’S COMPETITIVENESS INFLECTION POINT
Oregon has long been a state that builds what’s next.
From semiconductors and advanced manufacturing to food systems & agriculture, forestry, outdoor
products, technology, and energy infrastructure, Oregon competes in high-value traded sectors that
shape our GDP and national position. We possess distinctive structural advantages:
• Advanced manufacturing and semiconductor expertise
• Abundant and reliable power resources
• Strong research institutions and applied innovation capacity
• Entrepreneurial culture and engineering talent
• Strategic West Coast access and global trade corridors
• Rural and industrial regions positioned for production growth
These assets align directly with the Oregon Prosperity Roadmap’s focus on expanding traded-sector
industries, strengthening innovation capacity, modernizing infrastructure, and driving regional
competitiveness.
Today, global markets are undergoing structural realignment.
Energy systems are modernizing. Supply chains are reshoring. Industrial production is digitizing. Data
infrastructure and advanced materials are expanding. Manufacturing investment is concentrating in
regions that demonstrate coordinated industrial strategy. All while considering efficiency and risk.
This is not a cyclical shift. It is a generational reconfiguration of production, infrastructure, capital
allocation and talent.
States that organize visible, investable sector platforms — aligning industry, capital, workforce,
infrastructure, and research — are capturing disproportionate private investment, anchoring supply
chains, and expanding durable job growth. Those that remain fragmented are exporting innovation and
losing industrial scale.
Oregon has the assets to lead in this next economic cycle. What we lack is coordinated economic
architecture.
Our strengths remain distributed across agencies, regions, and initiatives without a unifying platform
that concentrates effort, aligns capital, and signals market intent. Capital formation is diffuse.
Commercialization pathways are uneven. Workforce systems are not consistently synchronized with
emerging industrial demand.
At this moment of national industrial acceleration, fragmentation is a competitive liability.
The next three to five years will determine whether Oregon converts structural advantage into sustained
industrial leadership – or watches investment, talent, and production concentrate elsewhere.

OREGON ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY
Clean and Resilient Economy
Draft
Executive Summary
Oregon should formally designate Clean & Resilient Economy as a priority high-potential traded-sector platform
and deploy coordinated leadership to accelerate growth and scale. This is not a new program. It is an
organizing move.
Clean & Resilient Economy represents a convergence of high-value traded sectors central to Oregon’s
competitive future: clean tech & advance manufacturing, clean energy, transportation & mobility, food systems
& agriculture, built environment, outdoor gear & apparel, forestry & wood products, clean industrial
manufacturing, and natural resource innovation,. These industries are already present in Oregon. What is
missing is structured concentration and coordinated scale for leadership in the Clean & Resilient economy.
Formal designation under Business Oregon – aligned with the Prosperity Plan and integrated into the Economic
Development Strategy, creates a visible platform for:
• Concentrating industry clusters
• Aligning capital formation and commercialization pathways
• Synchronizing workforce systems with production demand
• Coordinating infrastructure and resilience deployment
• Signaling market confidence to private investors and industry partners
Regions that win the next decade will be those that move from diffuse assets to integrated economic systems.
Oregon has the structural ingredients. We must now provide the architecture.
The strategy outlined in this document:
• Identifies priority traded-sector clusters for focused concentration
• Proposes an integrated economic architecture connecting industry, capital & research, workforce,
infrastructure & resilience and business development
• Recommends an operating model for cross-sector coordination and stewardship
• Defines near-term activation steps to validate alignment and accelerate scale
The competitive window is finite. Decisions made in the next three to five years will shape Oregon’s industrial
and supply chain footprint and traded-sector growth trajectory for decades.
Formal Clean & Resilient designation and disciplined coordination now position Oregon not simply to
participate in the next economic cycle – but to lead within it.

CLEAN and RESILIENT ECONOMY
Draft
Organizing Architecture
From Fragmented Strengths to Coordinated Scale
Oregon can Lead - If We Organize
Concentrate on high-opportunity sectors where Oregon has structural advantage,
representing engines of traded- sector growth, export potential and durable job creation.
• Clean Tech/Adv Mfg • Food Systems & Ag Connected clusters:
CLEAN
• Clean Energy • Forestry & Wood Products • Resilient Cities
INDUSTRIES • Transportation & Mobility • Clean Manufacturing • Circularity
• Built Environment • Water & Wastewater
• Outdoor Gear & Apparel • Life Sciences, Health & Pharma
• Legal & Prof Services
To retain and scale high-potential companies, Oregon must establish:
• A strong Clean Industry Command Center providing technical assistance,
commercialization acceleration, and market access support.
• Structured, multi-stage access to growth capital- from proof through scale
INNOVATION
• Shared applied infrastructure and industry-aligned Labs organized around priority clusters
& CAPITAL • Boundary-spanning partnerships that integrate research, prototyping, advanced
manufacturing and scale-up capacity.
Without coordinated innovation and capital architecture, companies, talent and production
will scale elsewhere.
Workforce systems must evolve alongside industry demand. Oregon must:.
• Strengthen ‘applied’ talent strategies aligned to priority clusters
WORKFORCE
• Expand access to clean career pathways across generations
& TALENT • Increase industry-integrated training models
• Build ‘Awareness’ and engagement to broaden participation
SYSTEMS
A resilient clean economy requires workforce systems designed for adaption, not static
credentialing.
Leadership requires disciplined economic positioning. Oregon must:
• Align clean branding and business attraction strategies
CLEAN
• Coordinate regional economic development efforts
BUSINESS
• Balance regulatory leadership with competitive investment climate
DEVELOPMENT
• Improve retention, recruitment and scale-up support
Brand without infrastructure fails. Infrastructure without brand remains invisible.
Clean leadership must embed adaptation and resilience across:
• Natural systems
RESILIENCE AS
• Built environment & infrastructure
ECONOMIC
• Public Health
STRATEGY • Cultural & Community Systems
• Climate Adaptation
Resilience is not an add on- it is a competitiveness multiplier.

Clean Innovation & Capital Architecture
Turning Early-Stage Strength into Long-term Economic Growth
Oregon’s strength in early-stage innovation has not yet translated into durable scale infrastructure. While
the state generates promising clean economy startups and technical talent, commercialization pathways
remain fragmented and capital formation inconsistent across growth stages. Without coordinated
systems for capital deployment, applied infrastructure, and commercialization alignment, high-potential
firms will continue to mature elsewhere. To convert innovation into long-term economic capture, Oregon
must institutionalize a Clean Innovation and Capital Architecture that prioritizes retention, scale, and
cluster-aligned growth.
