| description | This article discusses the importance of clusters in the modern economy as drivers of economic development, innovation, export, and better integration into international chains. The innovation cluster is a key element of the national (regional) innovation ecosystem, and the INNO Industry project aims to improve innovation development policies by involving clusters in Industry 4.0. The European Cluster Collaboration Platform is the main information tool for businesses in EU countries, offering opportunities for strengthening the European economy through the cooperation of industry cluster ecosystems. This platform allows any cluster initiative to be registered as a cluster organization, participant, or European cluster partnership, making it easy to find business partners for each country, region, sector or industrial ecosystem.
Discusses the factors that affect the competitiveness of a cluster, which can be categorized as internal and external. The internal factors include material and technical support of production, management tactics and strategy, innovation, pricing policy, competitiveness of products, labor resources, employee motivation, and modern information technologies. On the other hand, external factors include market conditions, logistics infrastructure development, social, environmental, scientific, technical factors, and labor market situations. The abstract also highlights the stable or long-term objective factors such as geographic concentration, climatic conditions, availability of natural resources, regional and national characteristics that can influence the competitiveness but cannot increase it by themselves. Understanding and managing these factors can help improve the competitiveness of a cluster.
У статті обговорюється важливість кластерів у сучасній економіці як драйверів економічного розвитку, інновацій, експорту та кращої інтеграції в міжнародні ланцюги. Інноваційний кластер є ключовим елементом національної (регіональної) інноваційної екосистеми, а проєкт INNO Industry спрямований на вдосконалення політики розвитку інновацій шляхом залучення кластерів до Індустрії 4.0. Європейська платформа кластерної співпраці є основним інформаційним інструментом для бізнесу в країнах ЄС, що пропонує можливості для зміцнення європейської економіки через співпрацю галузевих кластерних екосистем. Ця платформа дозволяє зареєструвати будь-яку кластерну ініціативу як кластерну організацію, учасника або європейське кластерне партнерство, що полегшує пошук ділових партнерів для кожної країни, регіону, сектору чи промислової екосистеми.
Обговорюються фактори, що впливають на конкурентоспроможність кластера, які можна класифікувати як внутрішні та зовнішні. До внутрішніх факторів належать матеріально-технічне забезпечення виробництва, тактика і стратегія управління, інноваційна діяльність, цінова політика, конкурентоспроможність продукції, трудові ресурси, мотивація працівників, сучасні інформаційні технології. З іншого боку, зовнішні фактори включають ринкові умови, розвиток логістичної інфраструктури, соціальні, екологічні, наукові, технічні чинники та ситуацію на ринку праці. Анотація також висвітлює стабільні або довгострокові об’єктивні фактори, такі як географічна концентрація, кліматичні умови, наявність природних ресурсів, регіональні та національні особливості, які можуть впливати на конкурентоспроможність, але не можуть підвищити її самі по собі. Розуміння цих факторів і керування ними може допомогти підвищити конкурентоспроможність кластера.

EXPERIENCE OF EUROPEAN CLUSTERS IN TRANSSECTORAL
INTERNATIONALIZATION
Formulation of the problem. The development of
clusters is one of the main directions of the development
of the modern economy in the world. The EU proves
great attention to the development of clusters as drivers
of economic development, innovation, export and better
integration into international chains.
In the modern economy, the innovation cluster is a
key element of the national (regional) innovation
ecosystem, on which its subsystems are based:
generation of knowledge, education and professional
training, accumulation of experience, production of
finished products, innovation infrastructure, the market
of knowledge-intensive products and services [5, р. 194-
198].
One of the main Industry 4.0+ projects is the INNO
Industry project, the goal of which is to improve
innovation development policies through better
involvement of clusters in Industry 4.0. The project
envisages conducting research in 10 countries of the
European Union to identify 30 best practices of
clustering and create a model of clusters 4.0-5.0 and
action plans aimed at improving policies and tools [3].
In EU countries, the main information tool for
business is the European Cluster Collaboration
Platform. The European online hub opens wide
opportunities for strengthening the European economy
through the cooperation of industry cluster ecosystems.
With the help of the platform, it is possible to find
business partners for each country, region, sector or
industrial ecosystem.
Any cluster initiative can be registered on the
platform as a cluster organization or its participant, or as
a European cluster partnership.
Analysis of recent research and publications.
The problems of creating and developing the structure
of industrial cluster associations as the most effective
form of ensuring competitiveness were dealt with by the
following economists: M. Makarenko, O. Papkovska,
L. Levkovska, V. Lіashenko, O. Mazur, V. Melnychuk,
M. Porter, S. Sidak, S. Sokolenko, V. Fedorenko.
The role of cluster coordination in stimulating the
transsectoral internationalization of industrial comp-
lexes was studied by R. Akoff, M. Voynarenko,
T. Donaldson, E. Karapetyan, S. Kolyadenko, E. Ren-
man, R. Freeman.
Setting objectives. The strategic goal of
internationalization is to attract active and support
"talented newcomers" under the Horizont Europe
program in the field of nanotechnology, composite
materials and smart manufacturing processes.
The ratification of the agreement between Ukraine
and the EU (February 22, 2017) on the participation of
clusters in the EU COSME program - "Competitiveness
of Small and Medium Enterprises (COSME)" allowed
cluster associations of Ukraine to participate in
23 European programs. which are classified in 3 areas:
• Facilitating entry of SMEs to foreign markets –
provision of advisory services regarding the foreign
economic activities of SMEs on the EU and world
markets;
• Improving the conditions for competitiveness –
uniting clusters of Ukraine to achieve certain successes
in the field of export-internationalization, identifying
and eliminating unnecessary regulatory barriers;
• Formation of business culture – educational
programs, sectoral trainings, seminars, exchange
programs, internships, etc.
• NMP projects stimulate internationalization
processes in EU-13 and EU-15 and associated countries
that have sufficient potential.
The Ukrainian Cluster Alliance (UCA) is the
coordinator of cluster business structures in Ukraine and
simultaneously takes care of smart specialization,
Industry 5.0, eco-industrial parks, and DIH develop-
ment. At the conference of cluster development in
Kamianets-Podilskyi, the chairman of the board of the
UKA Oleg Demchuk presented the results of the
activities of the Podilsk fashion cluster (PFC) and
Dniester 1362. The heads of the PFC cluster testify to
the specific benefits of joining the cluster: increased
sales, access to new product lines, creation of new
workplaces. The most important thing is that managers
change the way of thinking and vision of their business,
change business models. All this is the result of
painstaking, daily work of the cluster coordinator.
The most revealing in Ukraine are the processes of
internationalization of the Zaporizhzhia cluster
"Engineering-Automation-Machine Building" (IAM),
which, despite the risks of approaching the war zone,
according to the results of 2022 showed an increase in
the number of its members by 25% (from 20 to
25), among which: "Zaporizhskaya TPP", LLC
"UkrstandardCertification", "Energoprom", "Talko",
"Triada", LLC "Zaporizhkran", EAM "Zaporizhia",

PJSC "InfocomLTD", LLC "Saturn", "Atico", " Assol",
"GreenSystem", "Granik", etc. [1].
We will highlight 4 key directions of
internationalization of industrial clusters (Fig. 1):
• Modern materials;
• Manufacturing technologies;
• Cyclical industry;
• Clean industry.
Fig. 1. Key directions of internationalization of industrial clusters
For cluster management, the strategic task is to
increase mutual understanding between researchers and
manufacturers, which is currently being put forward as
a development priority by the Association of European
Science and Technology Professionals.
The study of real success stories of leading clusters
of European countries, as well as the analysis of the
activities of successful Ukrainian clusters, made it
possible to identify certain factors for improving the
competitiveness of cluster participants.
The most accurate is the general distribution of the
set of factors that affect the competitiveness of the
cluster into internal and external. Internal factors
include [4]:
– the level of material and technical support of
production,
– management tactics and strategy,
– innovative activity of participants,
– pricing policy,
– competitiveness of products (services),
– qualification level of labor resources,
- employee motivation system,
- conditions of modern information technologies.
External ones include:
- market conditions,
- level of logistics infrastructure development,
- social, environmental, scientific and technical
factors,
- the situation on the labor market.
Such objective factors as geographic concentra-
tion, climatic conditions, availability of natural
resources, regional and national characteristics are
stable or long-term and largely determine the level of
competitiveness, but they cannot increase it by
themselves.
At the current stage of development of cluster
systems, promising competitive advantages created on
domestic markets begin to play a key role. These are
management tactics and strategies, ways of organizing
economic entities and the structure of the economy [2].
The analysis of the European experience shows the
emergence of a significant cluster effect in compliance
V. Utkin
112
Економічний вісник Донбасу № 4(70), 2022
with the indicators of regional and industry orientation.
Practice shows that the agglomeration cluster effect
occurs if the cluster members are located in an area with
a diameter of approximately 100-150 km. For optimal
ongoing cluster interaction, the distance between
participants should not exceed 2-3 hours. Even in times
of technological transformation, cluster effects mostly
arise from network interaction and cross-industry
collaboration. At the same time, an important indicator
is the critical mass of participants (firms, enterprises,
institutions). The results of the analysis indicate that in
order to ensure the improvement of competitiveness
indicators, there should be at least 10-20 participants in
the cluster, but this indicator may vary depending on the
industry and other market circumstances.
The level of competitiveness of clusters is affected
by additional variable factors. First of all, it is a state
policy to promote the creation and development of
competitive advantages of the territory, which affects
local conditions and shapes the role behavior (active or
passive) of regional and municipal bodies in support of
territorial cross-sectoral cooperation. Due to global
transformations, digitalization and internationalization,
such local conditions can be used not only by national
enterprises, but also by subjects of foreign economic
activity (non-residents). One of the tasks of cluster
management is to minimize risks and prevent threats
from the activities of non-residents in order to prevent
the loss of competitive advantages.
Thus, if the presence of a non-resident threatens the
cluster activity of domestic enterprises, the reaction of
the cluster management should be aimed at creating
territorial barriers together with state authorities. At the
same time, authorities at all levels (central, regional,
municipal) should create appropriate conditions for
removing barriers to cooperation, and lobbying for
precautionary measures aimed at protecting the interests
of national cluster associations.
Cluster monitoring of 50 clusters in Germany,
representing about 5,000 companies, confirms the fact
that the performance of enterprises integrated into
clusters is better than the industry average.
Improvement of economic indicators took place in 61%
of companies (2% – significant improvement). 37% of
companies did not experience significant changes, and
only 2% of companies experienced a deterioration.
The problems of cluster management in Ukraine
became the subject of an international expert discussion
at the initiative of Dr. Gerd Mayer zu Köker, Dr. Niklas
Rüffer, manager of GIZ (Ukraine): how a cluster
increases business competitiveness. The success stories
of 7 European clusters related to time, marketing, and
partnership were considered.
A medium-sized business with the aim of creating
valuable memorabilia for the 2019 World Cup. designed
the medals for the championship, but the owner did not
know how to take the idea forward. The enterprise was
integrated into the cluster of natural fibers AFBW
(Germany), which already had experience in promoting
sports products for international events. As a result of an
excellent marketing move, the company became world-
famous and received new contracts and positive
feedback from various locations around the world. New
projects made it possible to conclude new agreements
with partners and significantly increase turnover.
Typical functional tasks of the cluster coordination
system are:
1. Information and communication.
2. Internationalization.
3. Initiation of cooperation.
4. Training and professional development.
5. Market research and marketing.
Information and communication functions are
performed traditionally and remotely. In addition to
traditional representative events (tours of the company,
presentations), the task of management is to ensure the
correct and regular formation of expanded databases
(clients, suppliers, contractors, services), regular
customer surveys, support of social networks and
special bots, Internet pages, information distribution
activities.
Internationalization involves the access of
members of cluster associations to international events,
conferences, congresses, and forums. Support of
international cooperation in the process of foreign
economic activity. It is advisable to develop a program
of network activities between similar or complementary
international clusters, as well as the involvement of
foreign participants in the cluster.
An example of the internationalization of cluster
initiatives on the part of Romanian representatives of
SMEs is the founding of the Association of Clusters of
Romania, which contributed to the creation of cluster
maps (Cluster Mapping) and conducting innovation
audits. Active activities on internationalization with a
"bottom-up" approach, regular holding of the
Conference on National Clusters caused a resonance on
the part of state bodies. As a result, there was a very
close informal cooperation "Ministry of Economy -
CLUSTERO" (CLUSTERO is a founding member of
the European Alliance of Clusters).
Creative director, founder and coordinator of the
"Situationist" cluster Irakliy Rusadze, emphasizing the
importance of the C4D project in cross-sectoral
cooperation, noted the following results of the
proceedings:
1. Increase in sales of commodity products by
130%.
2. Upgrading the production equipment of the
textile line by 60% (automation up to 100%).
3. Wide coverage of products in international
specialized publications (Harprr`s Bazar, Eiie, Purple).
4. Presentation of digital production technologies
in the fall-winter 2021-2022 collection of products in
Paris.
5. Launch of an interactive e-commerce platform
for cluster member companies.

Initiating collaboration is important to continue the
value chain. Cluster policy should not have a significant
impact on the current activity of the cluster. To be
successful, clusters must be open to everyone who has
the ability to add value.
In Europe, the cluster success formula is practiced,
which consists in adding to the cluster system those
participants who ensure the continuation of the added
value chain (creation of semi-finished products, parts,
packaging, etc.).
In order to continue the chain of added value and
increase the competitiveness of the final product, the
functional scheme of cluster coordination, in addition to
internationalization, should include systemic measures
in the following directions: public relations, entrepre-
neurship development, professional development,
innovation and digitalization.
The oldest industrial cluster in Croatia was created
through triple upward spiral organizations, which
included important entrepreneurs from the industry,
state regulatory bodies and R&D. Approximately 42
participants are involved in the chain of sequential value
creation in the wood industry: forestry, sawmill
industry, furniture industry, wood in construction, wood
biomass, design, transportation, certification, etc. Initial
costs of a nationally funded project. The cluster's budget
consisted of state funding – 55% and membership fees -
45%.
Within the framework of transsectoral
internationalization, the local level of the woodworking
cluster was cut to the national one and united the forestry
sector with 2.7 million hectares of forest land (84% non-
coniferous, 16% coniferous forests) and the wood-
working industry into the core of the cluster (Table 1).
Transsectoral interaction covers 49% of the country's
territory, 8 sectors of the economy, as well as financial,
scientific and social infrastructure.

9 Others sector 5 5,22 5 2,85
Together: 42 34,62 20 56,4 38 17,27
Cross-sectoral cooperation with the clusters of
Slovenia, Finland, Belgium and membership in
European associations allowed the gradual creation of
new sectors (environmental) to continue the chain of
added value.
The creation of networking networks contributed
to the involvement of new cluster strategies from
different sectors in transsectoral cooperation. Poly-
centric connections with Croatian innovation clusters in
automation, digitization, and artificial intelligence
strengthened the competitive advantages of the cluster.
The importance of cross-sectoral cooperation of
clusters for the development of the national economy is
confirmed by the experience of Romania, whose
government did not pay much attention to the processes
of clustering industries. In contrast to many European
countries, in 2008, Romania observed a lack of funding
for clusters, a low level of innovation in SMEs, and a
low level of popularization at the international level. A
simple bottom-up approach has enabled stakeholders to
create sustainable business models in many industries.
Regional development agencies began to play an
important role in the structure of the model. The
representative organization of Romanian clusters covers
47 clusters of various economic sectors at the national
and international level: IT, agro-industrial sector,
woodworking industry, textile industry, energy,
engineering, health care, etc. At the regional level, there
are 6 regional consortia of thematic industries (textile
industry, organic agricultural production, furniture
woodworking and food industry).
The business and scientific circles of Romania
used a unique approach of initiating cooperation. In
order to overcome crisis phenomena in agriculture and
promote cooperation in the agrarian sector and food
industry in Romania, the creation of a new association
based on the "cluster of clusters" approach (Business
Incubator of Sf Gheorghe) was initiated. That is, a
cluster that actually functions as a cluster incubator. The
mission of the Agro-Food-Ind Napoca cluster
association is to form a long chain of added value by
business entities, starting from the agro-industrial sector
to catering enterprises. In the chain of participants, there
are scientific and research educational institutions that
V. Utkin
114
Економічний вісник Донбасу № 4(70), 2022
are aimed at innovation, encouraging the process of
competitive restructuring of the sector and ensuring
participation in many commercial projects, both
national and international. In this sense, the members of
the "Agro-Food-Ind Napoca Cluster" association
decided to join forces to support the development of the
agro-industrial sector, with the declared goal of
supporting the increase in the competitiveness of the
cluster and each of its members, both on the domestic
market and on the foreign market.
Conclusions from the conducted research. In
order to better coordinate and include the proposals of
Ukrainian clusters in the government's anti-crisis action
programs, the Ukrainian Cluster Alliance appealed to
the Government of Ukraine with the "Export-
Internationalization Program". The document was
prepared by the Analytical Center of the Ukrainian
Cluster Alliance, as part of the proposals for the anti-
crisis action program of the Government in 2022, and is
a collective appeal of the clusters [5].
1. Facilitating the implementation of the Buy
Ukrainian program proposed by the Office for Entrepre-
neurship Development and Export Support (EERO) [5].
2. Support for transsectoral integration of
Ukrainian clusters into global value added chains under
the international Integration into GVC program.
3. "Trading Missions" project - support for clusters
of critical sectors (Agrifood, Engineering-Mechanical
Engineering, Light and Furniture).
4. Accelerating the inclusion of Ukrainian
innovation clusters in the relevant European programs
of innovative development, dual digital and green
transitions under the "Inno-Integration" program
(industrial startups, hard & soft developers, scientific
research institutes, universities).
5. Support and technical regulation of the accele-
rated transition of Ukrainian clusters to international
technical standards under the "Standardization"
program.
6. Development of cross-sectoral target programs
for support of scientists and researchers, as well as
innovative development of processing sectors in
Ukraine with effective processing of the local resource
base with the creation of cross-sectoral LDV.

Уткін В. П. Досвід європейських кластерів у трансгалузевій інтернаціоналізації
У статті обговорюється важливість кластерів у сучасній економіці як драйверів економічного розвитку, інновацій,
експорту та кращої інтеграції в міжнародні ланцюги. Інноваційний кластер є ключовим елементом національної
(регіональної) інноваційної екосистеми, а проєкт INNO Industry спрямований на вдосконалення політики розвитку інновацій
шляхом залучення кластерів до Індустрії 4.0. Європейська платформа кластерної співпраці є основним інформаційним
інструментом для бізнесу в країнах ЄС, що пропонує можливості для зміцнення європейської економіки через співпрацю
галузевих кластерних екосистем. Ця платформа дозволяє зареєструвати будь-яку кластерну ініціативу як кластерну
організацію, учасника або європейське кластерне партнерство, що полегшує пошук ділових партнерів для кожної країни,
регіону, сектору чи промислової екосистеми.
Обговорюються фактори, що впливають на конкурентоспроможність кластера, які можна класифікувати як внутрішні
та зовнішні. До внутрішніх факторів належать матеріально-технічне забезпечення виробництва, тактика і стратегія
управління, інноваційна діяльність, цінова політика, конкурентоспроможність продукції, трудові ресурси, мотивація
працівників, сучасні інформаційні технології. З іншого боку, зовнішні фактори включають ринкові умови, розвиток
логістичної інфраструктури, соціальні, екологічні, наукові, технічні чинники та ситуацію на ринку праці. Анотація також
висвітлює стабільні або довгострокові об’єктивні фактори, такі як географічна концентрація, кліматичні умови, наявність
природних ресурсів, регіональні та національні особливості, які можуть впливати на конкурентоспроможність, але не можуть
підвищити її самі по собі. Розуміння цих факторів і керування ними може допомогти підвищити конкурентоспроможність
кластера.
Ключові слова: кластери, система, конкурентоспроможність, міжгалузева інтернаціоналізація, внутрішні фактори,
зовнішні фактори, кластерна політика.
Utkin V. Experience of European Clusters in Transsectoral Internationalization
This article discusses the importance of clusters in the modern economy as drivers of economic development, innovation, export,
and better integration into international chains. The innovation cluster is a key element of the national (regional) innovation ecosystem,
and the INNO Industry project aims to improve innovation development policies by involving clusters in Industry 4.0. The European
Cluster Collaboration Platform is the main information tool for businesses in EU countries, offering opportunities for strengthening the
European economy through the cooperation of industry cluster ecosystems. This platform allows any cluster initiative to be registered
as a cluster organization, participant, or European cluster partnership, making it easy to find business partners for each country, region,
sector or industrial ecosystem.
Discusses the factors that affect the competitiveness of a cluster, which can be categorized as internal and external. The internal
factors include material and technical support of production, management tactics and strategy, innovation, pricing policy,
competitiveness of products, labor resources, employee motivation, and modern information technologies. On the other hand, external
factors include market conditions, logistics infrastructure development, social, environmental, scientific, technical factors, and labor
market situations. The abstract also highlights the stable or long-term objective factors such as geographic concentration, climatic
conditions, availability of natural resources, regional and national characteristics that can influence the competitiveness but cannot
increase it by themselves. Understanding and managing these factors can help improve the competitiveness of a cluster.
Keywords: clusters, system, competitiveness, transsectoral internationalization, internal factors, external factors, cluster policy.

У статті обговорюється важливість кластерів у сучасній економіці як драйверів економічного розвитку, інновацій, експорту та кращої інтеграції в міжнародні ланцюги. Інноваційний кластер є ключовим елементом національної (регіональної) інноваційної екосистеми, а проєкт INNO Industry спрямований на вдосконалення політики розвитку інновацій шляхом залучення кластерів до Індустрії 4.0. Європейська платформа кластерної співпраці є основним інформаційним інструментом для бізнесу в країнах ЄС, що пропонує можливості для зміцнення європейської економіки через співпрацю галузевих кластерних екосистем. Ця платформа дозволяє зареєструвати будь-яку кластерну ініціативу як кластерну організацію, учасника або європейське кластерне партнерство, що полегшує пошук ділових партнерів для кожної країни, регіону, сектору чи промислової екосистеми.
 Обговорюються фактори, що впливають на конкурентоспроможність кластера, які можна класифікувати як внутрішні та зовнішні. До внутрішніх факторів належать матеріально-технічне забезпечення виробництва, тактика і стратегія управління, інноваційна діяльність, цінова політика, конкурентоспроможність продукції, трудові ресурси, мотивація працівників, сучасні інформаційні технології. З іншого боку, зовнішні фактори включають ринкові умови, розвиток логістичної інфраструктури, соціальні, екологічні, наукові, технічні чинники та ситуацію на ринку праці. Анотація також висвітлює стабільні або довгострокові об’єктивні фактори, такі як географічна концентрація, кліматичні умови, наявність природних ресурсів, регіональні та національні особливості, які можуть впливати на конкурентоспроможність, але не можуть підвищити її самі по собі. Розуміння цих факторів і керування ними може допомогти підвищити конкурентоспроможність кластера. en Інститут економіки промисловості НАН України Економічний вісник Донбасу Management of Innovations Experience of European Clusters in Transsectoral Internationalization Досвід європейських кластерів у трансгалузевій інтернаціоналізації Article published earlier |
