The strategic documents (i.e. regional development strategies and regional innovation strategies) from the following voivodeships: Podkarpackie, Podlaskie, Lubelskie, Warminsko-Mazurskie, Świetokrzyskie were analysed.Results – The results of the analysis show that despite the interest of the authorities in clusters as tools for activating the development of the regions, most documents lack any defined policy solutions based on clusters.
