Characteristic Features of Pharmaceutical Cluster Formation and Development

Abstract

Aim. This study aims to determine the characteristic features of cluster formation and development through the example of the pharmaceutical industry. Tasks. 1) To determine the nature of the concepts “cluster” and “pharmaceutical cluster”; 2) to identify the components of the structure of a pharmaceutical cluster; 3) to analyze the role of the government in the formation of a pharmaceutical cluster, substantiating its development with the examples of world practices. Methods are based on the analysis of scientific and analytical publications on the subject, which makes it possible to solve the above tasks and eventually achieve the set goal. Conclusion. Evidence-based policy of cluster support is an effective tool for enhancing the competitiveness of the industry on the global scale, increasing innovative potential and economic growth rate in the regions, and ensuring sustainability and economic independence in the context of import substitution and globalization.
