Prospects for the Development of Pharmaceutical Clusters: The Case of Uzbekistan

Abstract

This article presents a theoretical and economic analysis of the development of pharmaceutical clusters as a modern form of territorial organization of production. The study examines the mechanisms of interaction among enterprises, research institutions, and government bodies within the cluster framework. The aim of the research is to identify key factors that enhance the competitiveness of Uzbekistan’s pharmaceutical industry through a cluster-based approach. The methodological framework includes systems analysis, comparative research, and logical abstraction. The findings demonstrate that clustering fosters innovation, reduces dependence on imports, and strengthens export potential.
