OneKC WIRED Region Industry Profile Released

March 4, 2008

The publication of the OneKC WIRED Region Industry Profile marks the first time information of this nature has been exchanged by both states for the KC region. The report provides an excellent snapshot of where the region is today – starting with overall data and then focusing on the three industry sectors targeted by the OneKC WIRED initiative: advanced manufacturing, biotechnology and healthcare.

This report is a joint effort developed by the Missouri Economic Research and Information Center (MERIC) and the Kansas Department of Commerce's Division of Workforce Development.

This is the first step in a process designed to assist area leaders in better understanding the region's economy and in communicating the OneKC story. It also provides a benchmark for many of the OneKC WIRED initiatives. You can download a copy of the report by visiting OneKCWired.com and clicking on Resources.
