THE ROLE OF CLUSTERS IN THE REALIZATION OF BIOECONOMIC POTENTIAL

Abstract

It is substantiated that the development of bioeconomy, which skillfully combines the economy, bioresources, ecosystems and biotechnology, which help to create quality products and processes based on renewable raw materials. It is proved that based on innovative approaches, the bioeconomy contributes to job creation and development of regions, including those dominated by rural areas, which are powerful centers of biological resources. It is proved that the process of technology transformation can be accelerated by using the mechanisms of cluster concept implementation in the bioeconomy both at the regional and sectoral levels. It is determined that the creation of innovation clusters allows to obtain an innovative product through the formation of close relationships between firms, suppliers, customers and centers of science and knowledge (research centers, research institutes, universities) and has the necessary prerequisites to ensure high competitiveness. its rapid spread through a network of existing relationships in the general regional economic space by building technological chains: product creation - production - launch on the market. It is substantiated that fundamental practice-oriented science can play an important role in ensuring the appropriate level of trust in the formation of Ukrainian biotechnology clusters. Bioeconomy as a new attractive and efficient economic concept contributes to the development of innovative processes and products, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and an effective tool for realizing its potential through coordinated identification of technological and market trends are clusters that provide appropriate communication platforms. Key biotechnology clusters for the bioeconomy are formed on the basis of raw materials, technical capabilities, logistics, domestic market and last but not least industrial traditions, and the main driver in their creation is a favorable starting position of a functioning industry combined with market demand for biologically based products.\nUkraine has the necessary prerequisites (bioresource potential, basic practice-oriented science, breakthrough research laboratories, development centers, industrial and technological organizations, etc.) for the formation of promising high-tech bioeconomic clusters, and the correct adaptation of known effective clustering strategies to its national structure. can allow our country to occupy leading positions in world bioeconomic rankings.
