Abstract

The exploitation of Arctic resources is becoming now one of the most important directions of Russia’s strategic development. The coordination center for this project is St. Petersburg. The article assesses the potential of this region which forms an essential prerequisite for the effective implementation of the given work from the standpoint of the state and prospects of industrial clusters formed in its territory. The subjects of the cluster environment of St. Petersburg relevant programs of state support are divided into three categories: 2 innovative territorial clusters, 3 territorial clusters, 9 territorial clusters administered by the Center for cluster development. Specific recommendations for them are proposed on the basis of analysis of their strengths and weaknesses, as well as assessment of opportunities and threats to their development.

Highlights

Cluster analysis helps to identify the region's economic strengths and challenges and identify ways to shape its economic future.More and more territorial clusters cover only part of the global value chains, it is noticeable in high-tech sectors. the requirement of regional concentration of companies is losing universality
Territorial clusters administered by the Center for cluster development: 3.1
The question is how relevant this is for other clusters, that is, to what extent they can be considered as such at all – with all the accompanying strengths and other characteristics – without going beyond the regional framework; this problem becomes important due to the rapidly changing nature of Russia's relations with the rest of the world

Summary

Introduction

Cluster analysis helps to identify the region's economic strengths and challenges and identify ways to shape its economic future.More and more territorial clusters cover only part of the global value chains, it is noticeable in high-tech sectors. the requirement of regional concentration of companies is losing universality. Cluster analysis helps to identify the region's economic strengths and challenges and identify ways to shape its economic future. It is not enough to have a significant number of companies operating in a particular sector – these companies should be part of the network. From this point of view, it is more important to have a system of interconnected companies present in a certain territory. In 2013 under the leadership of the president of the State polar academy A. Chilingarov the first meeting of the Polar commission on the establishment of St. Petersburg Arctic cluster took place [1]
