The regional cluster of renewable energy sources (RES) is an industrial cluster and has the characteristics of the energy industry. Therefore, it needs its own mechanism and structure of formation to ensure integrated development. The paper examines the structure of the regional RES cluster for Vietnam and proposes an apparatus for managing it. Taking into account the experience of other countries, the formation of the structure of the regional RES cluster for the conditions of Vietnam has been substantiated in order to ensure the socio-economic development of the country and its energy system,built and analyzed in accordance with the actual conditions for the use of renewable energy sources in Vietnam and includes five components: profile and non-profile members of the cluster, suppliers, consumers, competitors. A diagram describing the structure of the cluster is illustrated in detail, the roles of the participants are presented. The organizational and management structures of the regional cluster, which correspond to the specific conditions of Vietnam are considered in the paper. The management structure of the Vietnam regional cluster consists of a senior steering committee, facilitator, project manager and working groups. The responsibilities of the participants in the organizational structure are formulated in such a way as to reflect their role in the work of the regional renewable energy cluster. The structure of a regional RES cluster is able to show the relationship between participants inside and outside of the cluster. The organizational structure of the regional cluster and the strategy for its development are the foundations for building a policy in the field of renewable energy sources in the country.

The article deals with the theoretical principles of forming the Agro Industries clusters in the context of the innovative aspect. Being one of Ukraine’s major sources of economic revenue, the country’s agroindustrial sector proved, at the same time, to be perhaps the most vulnerable branch of economy in the times of political and social turbulence. While the state is searching for the ways of strengthening its positions at the global market, its agricultural potential to a considerable extent remains both under- and misused. The cluster approach has become in recent years as a key instrument of municipal economic policies of the leading industrialized countries. Utilizing the experience of other European countries’ with regards to making agriculture more sustainable and competitive in the modern world, the author describes the ways of applying these practices against the background of Ukrainian agribusiness system. Innovation of our research presented as adaptation policy measures for clustering Ukrainian agribusiness and the structure of corn production cluster in Ukraine is proposed. The basic elements of government policy in supporting the development of agricultural clusters are proposed. The ways of creating the Agro Industries clusters are described. Advantages of forming clusters and possibility of the cluster approach in the organization and management of Agro Industries operations are considered.
