The main factors, conditioning creation of innovative clusters or transformation of industrial clusters into innovative, are considered. Economic effects of innovative clusters on firms, regions, countries and global level are analyzed and described. The reasons of Kazakhstan’s state cluster policy failure are presented. Their overcoming will allow launching a process of transformation of existing industrial agglomerations into innovative clusters.References
