The model describes the state of the institutional environment, including (1) the interaction of organizations and actors; (2) The process of interaction between organizations and the environment; (3) the eff ectiveness of the actors. The actors in the institutional and functional model of territorial development companies are economic entities that refl ect the specifi cs of the industry and the industrial and economic structure of the regional economy, as well as the population living and working in the region. Organizations in the model are such institutions, organizations that (1) regulate the actions of the various actors of socio-economic, industrial and environmental processes taking place in the socio-economic environment of territories; (2) regulate the activities of various actors directly involved themselves in these processes.
