ТРАНСКОРДОННІ КЛАСТЕРИ У СИСТЕМІ ЄВРОРЕГІОНАЛЬНОГО СПІВРОБІТНИЦТВА УКРАЇНИ

Abstract

In Ukraine, another, new form of cooperation is cross-border clusters. The cluster model of management is extremely popular in the European Union, because it is due to a favorable combination of regional factors and the subsequent development of links between enterprises within the cluster. Cross-border cooperation in the form of clusters contributes to ensuring the appropriate level of domestic production, attracting investment and increasing the efficiency and development of the region itself. At the same time, the cluster model of cross-border cooperation has not become widespread in Ukraine. The main feature of this form is that the cluster members are located in different tax, customs, legislative environments, but can have joint ventures, use common infrastructure and operate in cross-border markets. At the same time, the intensity of cooperation is limited by the presence of borders, which create additional barriers to the free movement of goods, labor, capital, as well as differences in mentalities, traditions, language, etc., which can reduce the effectiveness of cooperation without clear mechanisms to avoid or reduce these barriers. Analysis of all aspects of the concept of a cross-border cluster in euroregions allows us to interpret it as a form of integration of independent companies and associated institutions, geographically they are concentrated in a cross-border region, specialize in various industries related to common technologies and skills and complement each other, which is based on availability of an agreed development strategy for cluster participants aimed at implementing interests of each of them and the territory of cluster localization. However, it should be noted that an important stimulus euroregional development has the development of clusters that have high prospects and, as foreign experience shows, allow join the joint decision socio-economic problems of the territories, business associations, science, education and government to create a new one efficient economy of the euroregion
