The experience of using cluster models for regional development in different countries proves the need for an active role in the process of both state and local authorities’ economy clustering. Effective practices consist of the fact that the state gives integral and financial support to institutional and cluster formations. The purposeful research of clusters as a subject of public administration either from the side of regional or central government bodies showed the importance for power concentration to create favourable conditions for partnership between enterprises, first of all, in the shape of development assistance to already existing sectors tested by the market. The article deals with the important scientific aspects of both creation and functioning of clusters to secure the pharmaceutical sector competitiveness by means of mobilizing the state strategic resources both at government and sectoral institutes’ levels. The methods, which were used to reach the purpose of the research, are as follows: the description method, the table and graphic method, the method of structure and dynamics revelation and methods, which are available for comparison in a certain territory such as: the statistical data and the method of analysis and synthesis. The economy subjects’ cluster policy implementation should be carried out by means of forming the economic terms movement of a whole production system to a competitive position in terms of cooperation and partnership. It is also important to understand how certain clusters contribute to the economic development of certain regions and to adjust their activity in accordance with that. The new structural element of space progress security in a globalized economy should include clusters as a basis of network territory organization the functioning of which will facilitate both regional and state competitiveness on the whole; as well as contribute to the implementation of investment and innovative development models. The creation of such investment and innovative clusters requires significant boost of relevant theoretical and methodological support because the state should clearly understand where to go and what reforms to carry out.
