Abstract:
The objective of this research is to explore the actual status of cluster policies in Central and Eastern Europe and to compare clustering processes, funding systems and achievements of countries in the region. European automotive clusters represent a category showing clear-cut specialization. Embracing the assembly of passenger cars, buses and trucks as well as the manufacturing of engines and other parts, they represent a field where Europe is among the strongest regions of the world. As far as the initiative character, content, structure and financing resources of clustering is concerned, CEE countries show considerable differences , however, their objectives are the same, namely, they intend to create networked co-operation with partners from economy, research and administration to combine and further develop the existing strengths of the region.
