Assessing the development of agro-industrial clusters in the European cluster collaboration platform network

Abstract

Subject. This article examines the integration processes in cluster structures operating in various sectors of the economy of European countries. Objectives. The article aims to identify the features of organizational and economic relations within cluster structures in European countries on the basis of their classification by territorial and sectoral characteristics. Methods. For the study, we used the localization and formalization techniques, and the case study and cartographic methods. Results. The article offers an author-developed approach to the classification of European economic clusters. This classification helps identify the regional and sectoral specifics of cluster structures, and determine the areas of their cooperation and main trends in their development. Conclusions. Cooperation at the national and international levels contributes to the achievement of the goals of strategic development of economic clusters.
