A cluster concept represents one of widely discussed approach used by policy makers in many countries because clusters create conditions and overall environment for e.g. higher efficiency, stimulate cooperation, increase innovation performance as well as patent activities of individual firms. Moreover clusters belong to factors attracting foreign direct investments. The cluster concept has not been systematically used in the Slovakia by policy makers so far. Nevertheless, many technological cluster organizations as well as cluster organization in tourism have been created spontaneously. The paper presents results of the technology-oriented cluster organization mapping. Mapping shows that cluster policy if it is truly implemented has a significant potential to stimulate cluster development.
