- improvement of legal principles of technology parks functioning and

level of competitiveness of enterprises for the production of mineral water;
- inter-industry interaction of enterprises that are part of the cluster, contributes to
the growth of employment, the dissemination of advanced technologies and inflow of
investment in the industrial sector;
- formation of the infrastructure basis for conducting innovative activities of
enterprises for the production of mineral water, the main components of which are: the
creation of production and technological infrastructure (centers of collective use of
high-tech equipment, technological clusters, engineering and innovation zones,
innovation technological centers and technology parks, innovation-industrial
complexes);
- introduction of consulting activities (consulting foreign economic,
technological, marketing, technology transfer centers, consulting in the field of
economics and finance);
- creation of financial infrastructure (guarantee structures and funds, budgetary
and extrabudgetary funds of technological development, venture funds, financial and

information support structures for the development of innovative entrepreneurship in
the industrial sector).
The mechanisms of cluster policy to enhance the innovation potential of industry
are actively used by many developed countries of the world.
