Dayton welcomes businesses of all varieties, but the City's asset-based development model is tightly focused on five key industry clusters.  Each cluster represents a high-growth sector for the Dayton region, including:

• Aerospace R&D
• Human Sciences & Health Care
• Information Technology
• Advanced Materials and Manufacturing
• Water

Each of these sectors is rooted in a STEM field and one of Dayton's valuable regional assets such as Wright-Patterson Air Force Base or the Great Miami Buried Aquifer.   By concentrating on Dayton's core competencies and strategic advantages, the community provides a fertile business environment for entrepreneurs and investors alike.
