• Clusters, the geographic concentration of economic activities in a specific field connected through different types of linkages, are increasingly viewed as an interesting conceptual tool to understand the economic strength or competitive-ness. In recent years, this view has also motivated more and more policy makers to turn to cluster-based concepts as new tools to strengthen both national and regional economies. The article is structured in the following ways: section 1 presents basic notion and historical background about clusters; section 2 provides main approaches towards the cluster policy. Section 3 is focused on the cluster policy in the Europe and 4 examines the cluster policies and initiatives across six different countries of the European Union. The conclusion gives the overview of the cluster policies stage in the selected countries and refers to the possibility to improve them.
