Создание промышленных кластеров является важным фактором экономического развития региона, способствующим повышению конкурентоспособности, инновационности и устойчивости экономики. Университеты играют ключевую роль в формировании и развитии таких кластеров, обеспечивая научно-техническую поддержку и подготовку кадров. Предпринимательская активность университетов, выражающаяся в создании стартапов, проведении прикладных исследований и разработок, а также в формировании тесных связей с бизнесом и промышленностью, способствует трансферу технологий и инноваций в реальный сектор экономики. Методология исследования базируется на комплексном анализе приоритетных направлений стратегического развития региональных университетов. Исследованы факторы, влияющие на эффективное взаимодействие университетов и региональных горнодобывающих предприятий, а также стратегии, способствующие развитию предпринимательской активности учебных заведений в контексте создания и поддержки промышленных кластеров. Методы включают эконометрический анализ, анкетирование и интервью с представителями университетов и промышленности, а также сравнительный анализ успешных моделей создания промышленных кластеров. Исследование показало, что участие региональных университетов в промышленных кластерах ускоряет внедрение научных разработок и повышает эффективность ресурсов. Выявлены успешные модели взаимодействия и ключевые факторы предпринимательской активности университетов, а также барьеры, и предложены рекомендации по их преодолению. Результаты исследования могут быть использованы для разработки стратегий и мер государственной поддержки, направленных на развитие инновационной экономики и повышение конкурентоспособности регионов.

The creation of industrial clusters is a crucial factor in the economic development of a region, enhancing competitiveness, innovation, and economic sustainability. Universities play a pivotal role in the formation and growth of these clusters by providing scientific and technical support and training. The entrepreneurial activities of universities, such as creating startups, conducting applied research and development, and forming strong ties with business and industry, facilitate the transfer of technology and innovation to the real economy. The research methodology is based on a comprehensive analysis of the strategic development priorities of regional universities. It examines the factors that influence effective interactions between universities and regional mining enterprises, as well as strategies that promote the entrepreneurial activities of educational institutions within the context of building and supporting industrial clusters. The methods employed include econometric analysis, surveys, and interviews with representatives from universities and industry, as well as comparative analysis of successful models for creating industrial clusters. The research revealed that the involvement of regional universities in industrial clusters accelerates the implementation of scientific developments and enhances resource efficiency. Successful collaboration models and critical factors for university entrepreneurial activity were identified, along with barriers and recommendations for overcoming them. The study's results can be utilized to develop strategies and government support measures aimed at fostering an innovative economy and increasing regional competitiveness.
