Industrial Cluster Mesoeconomic Systems of the Volga Federal District: A Study of the Structure, Direction and Infrastructure Support of Cluster Projects
https://doi.org/10.34023/2313-6383-2025-32-4-49-56
Abstract
This article examines differences in the structure, direction, and infrastructure provision of industrial cluster projects implemented by regions of the Volga Federal District that are listed in the register of the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation and have received federal and regional support. The Volga Federal District was selected due to its high concentration of registered clusters, making it a representative case for analysis. As a research method, the study employs statistical analysis of official statistical data and industrial cluster projects in the Volga Federal District regions, combined with comparative analysis and generalization of the obtained data. Its novelty lies in providing a quantitative assessment of industrial cluster project directions, structural features, and infrastructure provision. Most projects are oriented towards creating favorable production conditions and facilitating modernization, while a smaller proportion are dedicated to research and new product development. The findings can inform decision-making on funding and infrastructure provision for Volga Federal District regions by state and municipal authorities.
