We are excited to announce the 10th and final video in our series, developed by the Ukrainian WoodHouse Cluster in partnership with Board, as part of the EU4Business program (funded by the EU and the German Government).
This final installment dives deep into the strategic and technical aspects of state regulation for cluster initiatives and their international impact. We explore the three primary regulatory models: Umbrella, Decentralized, and Industry-specific, while emphasizing the power of cross-cluster Synergy.
Key Questions Addressed by Olga Trofimtseva:
- Do clusters receive state-backed incentives or tax breaks?
- How is cluster development currently regulated in Ukraine?
