Abstract: One of the objectives of the European Commission is to build a Europe based on knowledge, rapid and sustainable growth and on social progress. Cooperation between businesses, universities, research institutes and public authorities through forms of partnership of cluster type can support this objective. Defined by many experts by terms such as research cluster, Information and Communication Technologies (ICT cluster), industrial clusters and innovative cluster, this form of partnership rests increasingly often in discussion and public debates. Clusters have become the subject of a whole series of documents issued by national and international organizations; it is increasingly promoted the idea that due to clusters competitiveness increase, workforce specializes, businesses and regional economies develop.

Keywords: innovative clusters; competitiveness; small and medium enterprises; regional and national economies. (search for similar items in EconPapers)
