Development of the cluster movement: state regulation and international aspects of activity

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?
  • What opportunities do Ukrainian clusters have in foreign markets?
  • Are there international financial resources available for cluster growth?

Expert Speaker: Olga Trofimtseva – Ambassador-at-Large at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, Coordinator of the Exporters and Investors Council, business leader, and Doctor of Agricultural Sciences.

Strategic Impact:

The EU4Business program is a vital tool for building bridges between European and Ukrainian companies. By following global Niches and the 8 main trends in international trade, we help Ukrainian SMEs step out of the daily grind and scale globally through Trust and Reputation.
