RESEARCH OF A FOREIGN EXPERIENCE OF THE INFLUENCE OF CLUSTERIZATION ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE REGION

Abstract

We carried out the analysis of cluster development in EU Member States, based on the reports of the European Center for Research on Clusters and Industrial Change and the European Center for Innovation in Services. We identified directions of support and differences within each direction. In article, we determined the criteria for evaluating clusters by the example of the USA, China, South Korea and other developed countries of the world. We proved that the economic development of regions depends on the effectiveness of the exchange of experience at the cluster level. The study evaluated the results of support for regions in industrial development. We considered the strategies of cluster transformation and made conclusions about introducing a regional aspect as mandatory in the cluster policy of all developed states.
