DEVELOPMENT AND RECOVERY OF THE NATIONAL ECONOMY: GLOBAL EXPERIENCE OF USING THE CLUSTER APPROACH IN THE CONDITIONS OF ACCELERATED EUROPEAN INTEGRATION

Abstract

The article examines the peculiarities of using the cluster approach for the development of the national economy, which is especially relevant when planning the post-war recovery of Ukraine's economy. In particular, it was determined that the main direction of innovative development of the market economy in today's conditions is innovative cluster development. It is substantiated that innovative improvement occupies a prominent place in the development programs of economic associations of most states. It has been proven that innovation clusters are gaining wide popularity in many countries of the world, in regions with different indicators of the level of economic stability. The conditions for creating a regional innovation cluster have been analyzed. As a result of the analysis, it was concluded that the clusters ensure the creation of a modern innovative program of economic development, which is characterized by a high level of competitive advantages in the world market and investment stability. By summarizing literary sources, the thesis that clustering is characterized by territorial and institutional-structural aspects has been substantiated. In addition, it was found that, according to the opinion of the world community, innovative clusters with the cores of high-tech enterprises of priority branches of the regional economy will be the basis and driving force of the innovative development of the region and the country, as well as a way to increase their competitiveness. There are only a few such enterprises in the regions, so it is advisable to combine them into a cluster at the interregional level. The views of the scientists were summarized, as a result of which it was found that the essence of the innovative cluster strategy lies in the development of the information space in today's conditions, which depends on obtaining privileges over competitors and the growth of profit indicators, not so much on the directions of the cluster's functioning– price policy, marketing, advertising, permanent renewal of the nomenclature, new product sales segments, how much due to the integration and attraction of various regional resources. This made it possible to come to the conclusion that in the conditions of the postwar recovery of the economy of Ukraine, the creation and development of innovative clusters in the state should become an integral part of the development program of each region.
