Abstract

The paper aims to identify the factors affecting the development of creative clusters, with a special focus on institutional setting. This knowledge is important for the development of regions, as clusters play a significant role in accelerating the innovation processes and networking, especially that creative industries have a particular tendency for networking. The study found that the location of creative clusters is influenced by the concentration of creative industries while institutional factors play a much smaller role. The development of clusters is mainly hindered by internal factors, such as problems with defining a common strategy, inability to raise funding for operations (especially if public support was received in the early stages of development), or ill‐designed cooperation with scientific institutions. The practical application of the paper can be found in the conclusions regarding cluster policy at the regional level. First, it would be reasonable to develop models of cooperation between local authorities and clusters, including in particular creation of demand for cluster services. Second, it is important to maintain a strategic dialog between cluster coordinators and local authorities to ensure ongoing monitoring of the needs of the creative sector. Third, it is desirable to promote partnerships and clusters in publicly funded competitions.
