Clusters are a powerful tool to promote regional economic development and stimulate competitiveness and innovation. This is undoubtedly the area constituting a large reserve for economic growth in Poland. The study focuses on the interaction between clusters and the public administration. It presents the way clusters are being preceived by the regional public administration, particularly in terms of the conditions determining the way clusters operate, as well as their knowledge about initiatives existing in particular regions. Data were obtained based on the nationwide survey, using Computer-Assisted Web Interview and Computer Assisted Telephone Interview.
