That is, formally good relations have been established with a number of ministries and state agencies, but no particular changes occur. Despite the lack of a whole range of policies and strategies in the field of industry, innovative development, digitalization and smart specialization, the government is in no hurry to change the situation and does not yet consider the cluster movement as a partner in ensuring the stability of the country&#8217;s economy. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.clusters.org.ua\/eif\/\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">The main document of UCA in 2022 on the shift in the issues of export and internationalization<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> did not receive response from the Ministry of Economy, there was no response to other requests.
