N2 - The number of Russian companies entering international markets has increased dramatically in the last 10 years. The development of innovative industries has intensified as well.

The study aims to identify the clusters of companies according to their exports and R & D expenditures, and fulfil in-depth analysis of innovationsrelated determinants that could explain the structure of the clusters.
