As cluster policy has been recognised one of the basis for building the competitiveness of Europe through excellence and innovation, it counts among the strategic priorities of the European Commission (EC). The European Union’s desire to make Europe the most competitive and dynamically developing area has resulted in stimulation of innovations and mobilization for cluster concept development. Therefore, numerous initiatives have been launched in this direction. The European Union (EU) has based its cluster policy on activities focused on the creation of an environment favourable for cluster development, i.e. ensuring appropriate financial instruments and improvement of coordination channels, supporting science-education-industry cooperation. The levels of intensity of the undertaken activities and models of implemented cluster policy in the member countries, however, vary significantly.
It is no matter of doubt that clusters are first of all the phenomenon arising from the needs of the market. Nevertheless, the intervention from public sector is desirable if enabling a better and more effective use of the clustering potential. Well-functioning cluster organisations are conducive to structural changes and general improvement of competitiveness, better exploitation of the innovative potential of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and the bridging of the industry-academia gap while the role of competition is not undermined. Therefore, the cluster policies should be more strategic, focused on cluster management professionalization including, among others, the financial needs of the cluster organisation operation.
The efforts of the EC to develop and upgrade the cluster policies have been numerous. Based on the European Cluster Memorandum and a Commission Communication on clusters in 2008, the cluster development programmes were reinforced by the European Cluster Policy Group (ECPG) establishment. The 18-months work of 20 partners led by Tea Petrin, the former Slovenian Minister of Economics, was topped by policy recommendations towards the Commission and also the Member States level1.
