Conditions for the Formation of Innovation Cluster in the Region

Summary/Abstract: The article discloses the study and the ways of improvement of theoretical aspects of creating the conditions for the innovation cluster in the region with the help of grounding the indicators of innovation, investment and personnel constituents. The analysis of the conditions for the formation of innovation clusters in the context of the regions of Ukraine was carried out. The explanation of the trends of activation of the formation of innovation clusters in the conditions of economic growth of the regions of Ukraine was further developed. It was grounded on the assessment of innovative development of the region, which is an important stage in the development of regional innovation strategies and the choice of clustering directions. It is substantiated that the success of the development of the innovation cluster in the economy of the region depends, first of all, on the development of innovation, investment and personnel components. The use of multicriteria assessment of the preconditions for the formation of clusters in the region is proposed, which allows taking into account the most important factors influencing the process of formation of the cluster.The proposed method involves the use of available data for analysis, and takes into account the most important factors of the preconditions of clusterization. Therefore it is universal for using. The practical application of this technique will allow a reasonable preliminary selection of regions in which the most favorable prerequisites for the formation of clusters are available. Prospects for further research will consist in the study and evaluation of the conditions for the functioning of potential clusters in the region with the use of such qualitative methods as SWOT-analysis, PEST-analysis, the results of which can be used for substantiation of conditions for the formation of cluster structures in certain areas of economic activity in the region.
