According to the definition of the American economist Michael E. Porter, clusters are entities of interconnected companies, specialised suppliers, service providers, enterprises operating in related sectors and related institutions.
Cluster members compete and cooperate with each other at the same time. These are organizations of particular importance to the economy and capable of competing on international markets.
