Abstrakt:
Industry or business clusters have become a part of an industrial policy in most countries not
only within the European Union and are considered an effective instrument for the growth of
firms and regional competitiveness. Their development is promoted and supported by many financial
schemes at regional, national and even supranational level. The development of industry
clusters in Czechia has had a very short tradition so far as the concept of clusters has become
known here only at the beginning of this century. Surprisingly public aid for cluster development
was approved at the governmental level very soon and the top-down approach strategy followed.
The objective of the paper is to identify the basic phases of cluster development in the Czech
Republic and to describe the impact of public financing on cluster establishment and growth in
Czech regions. The presented case of Moravia-Silesia shows the cluster dynamics in the region
which made the use of EU structural funds efficient for their development.
