Development trends of the cluster movement in the economy of Ukraine

Abstract

Clusters in Ukraine have problems with the rupture of production and distribution chains. To solve these problems, it is necessary to correct the activities of clusters under martial law. Violations of transport routes and relocation of business have a significant economic impact on the formation of global value chains. It is important to assess the political and economic factors influencing changes in global and regional value chains. In 2022, there have been significant changes in the global distribution of resources. The invasion of Russian troops into Ukraine has prompted the developed world community to push Russian and Belarusian companies out of the global value chain. Such changes provide new opportunities for Ukrainian business. Creating new global and regional value chains can be based on innovative industrial high-tech ecosystems. Developed industry and regional clusters can be based on such ecosystems. It is proposed to consider new proposals to adjust the areas of cooperation of Ukrainian clusters and refocus their activities in the new economic situation. Integration into global and regional businesses may include the development of services, the development of international cooperation between enterprises on global business platforms. The article aims at study of the innovative development of clusters as the basis of economic recovery of Ukraine. Actual is to research the foreign economic activity factors of Ukraine within the framework of development of clusters. Innovative development is an important component of the country's economic growth. The development of innovative industrial high-tech clusters for successful integration into the global economy is important for Ukraine. Clusters consolidate the existing potential of companies in order to obtain synergies. The authors try to formulate modern directions of development for further integration of the Ukrainian clusters into EU economics. Clusters should also be open to participation in new projects related to the restoration of Ukraine's infrastructure. The article examines the examples of integrating Ukrainian companies into international cooperation and the structure of regional cluster of Zaporizhzhia “Engineering – Automation – Machinery” (EAM).
