SC Council on Competitiveness launches innovative SC Asset Network (SCAN) mapping tool
March 27, 2024
The SCAN tool offers users a comprehensive resource to explore South Carolina’s economic landscape, with the ability to search for specific companies, industry sub-sectors, and discover highlighted and emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence and e-mobility. This intuitive platform serves as a valuable tool for industry stakeholders, economic development professionals, and job-seekers alike.
“We are excited to introduce the SC Asset Network mapping tool, which represents a significant step forward in promoting collaboration and growth within South Carolina’s key industries,” said Susie Shannon, President and CEO of SC Competes. “SCAN not only showcases the diverse range of companies and education and workforce training programs in our state, but also facilitates networking opportunities and fosters innovation.”
SC Competes recognizes the dynamic nature of South Carolina’s business landscape. As such, the platform offers an opportunity for South Carolina companies working in technology, cybersecurity, logistics, or aerospace who aren’t yet featured on the map to submit their information to “Get on the Map.” Submitted companies will be reviewed and added to the map within 10 business days, further enhancing the tool’s utility and relevance.
The SCAN tool will be managed and maintained by SC Competes, with ongoing refinements and updates to meet the evolving needs of industry and adding in new highlighted technologies such as quantum and more. As the premier resource for industry cluster companies, economic development professionals, and job-seekers, SCAN promises to be a cornerstone of South Carolina’s economic development efforts.
