Investing in Economic Growth through Clean-tech Engineering Education and Research. The Oregon Business Plan focuses on sustainability, a growing area of strength for Oregon’s industries. Clean technology includes green building and transportation practices that use sustainable materials and high-efficiency energy systems. Clean technology also includes renewable energy including biomass, geothermal, solar, wave, and wind. These investments will increase the number of work-ready graduates available to support Oregon’s sustainable industries and provide these industries with state-of-the-art research capacity. These investments in graduates and research will not only support existing sustainable industries but further enhance Oregon’s attractiveness to companies considering establishing a presence in Oregon.
