STRATEGIC PRIORITIES OF FORMING INNOVATION CLUSTERS IN WAR CONDITIONS

The article examines the strategic priorities of forming innovation clusters in war conditions

as a key tool for restoring and modernizing the Ukrainian economy. The role of the cluster

approach in activating local entrepreneurship, mobilizing human capital, attracting international

support, and implementing digital technologies is examined. Systemic challenges are analyzed,

including institutional fragmentation, lack of regulatory support, limited funding, and the need for

transparency. The author emphasizes the need for an integrated state strategy for cluster development, built on the principles of decentralization, digital transformation, and social cohesion. A conceptual vision of the cluster as an innovation ecosystem with a long-term effect for sustainable

growth, internal stability, and international competitiveness of Ukraine is proposed.
