The article assesses the important role of industry clusters and considers it as an important policy tool, because the growth of an industry cluster often leads to the increase and development of enterprises in the supporting industry. SMEs in supporting industry activities will have the opportunity to access investment capital, investment markets and modern technology lines. The article affirms that the development of industry clusters will be a necessary condition for the development of the supporting industry. On the other hand, supporting industry is also a prerequisite for industrial development because the process of developing industry clusters will actually have to rely on the development of the supporting industry group.
