The future of the modern enterprise starts with the first courageous step. Thus, we move forward by searching, testing and implementing promising new lines of business, new technologies, new equipment, new units for aviation and space, education of young and skilled engineers, managers and designers.
On the initiative of JSC “FED”, Innovative Aerospace Cluster “Mechatronics” consisting of the leading aerospace enterprises of Ukraine, higher educational establishments, design and research organizations was created. The leaders of these companies signed the foundation memorandum, and today we discuss directions of our joint activities. One of the main advantages of the Cluster mechanism is combining of technological, industrial, financial, labor and other resources with minimal financial cost to the state.
Cooperation within the Cluster is one of the most effective mechanisms that help to increase the rates of development of individual industries and the economy as a whole.
In evidence in favor of the cluster system is the fact that today the modern high-tech product is an integral product that requires diverse technological, industrial and intellectual capabilities. Aerospace Innovation Cluster “Mechatronics” is located in the center of the most important economic region and is one of the largest epicenters of aerospace activities.
Aerospace Innovation Cluster “Mechatronics” has the ideal location for logistics, resource, intellectual and industrial potential.
The main purpose of the Cluster’s policy is to ensure high rates of economic growth and diversification of the economy by increasing the competitiveness of enterprises, suppliers of equipment, parts, specialized production and maintenance services, research and educational organizations forming territorial and industrial clusters.
All this can be considered as components of the synergistic effect of clustering, under which revenues from sharing resources exceed the amount of income from the separate use of the same resources.
Aerospace Innovation Cluster “Mechatronics” is an alliance of Ukrainian enterprises and academic organizations that have been cooperating for many years in the creation of modern aviation and space systems — all enterprises and organizations, the activities of which are based on a synergistic integration of mechanics, electronics and computer technology.
The main objectives of the cluster are:• to increase the competitive ability and economic potential of the Cluster’s members through the implementation of the potential of effective interaction throughout the life cycle of the Cluster’s products;
• to create a broad access to innovations and new technological solutions, including the provision of technology transfer;
• to create new highly skilled jobs in industries;
• to reduce transaction costs that ensure the formation of the prerequisites for implementing joint co-operation projects and productive competition;
• to improve external economic integration and increase international competitiveness of members of the innovation cluster by including the Cluster and its members into the global value chain;
• to create a pool of opportunities for launching joint investment projects, including easier access of the Cluster’s members to financial resources;
• to encourage development of industrial, organizational and financial cooperation within the Cluster.
