A cluster approach is becoming increasingly recognized as a valuable tool to foster social-economic development. The increasing interest in clusters is only one aspect of a broader re-orientation of research and economic policy towards the microeconomic foundations of prosperity and growth. The economic policy debate had in previous decades been to a large degree dominated by macroeconomics and the creation of market institutions in transition economies. But while there is now fairly broad consensus on the type of macroeconomic and legal conditions necessary to achieve economic progress, it is also increasingly becoming clear that these conditions are not sufficient. As a new approach to help economies reap the full potential of an improved macroeconomic and legal context cluster-based efforts have received a lot attention.

The aim of this paper is to examine possibility of the integrated industrial complex creation, including enterprises of extractive and manufacturing industries in Khabarovsk territory. Formation of the industrial complex is based on organizational and technological interactions and complementarity between enterprises and their vertical and horizontal integration into cluster. Proposed method of industry restructuring results in the fact that the period of innovation implementation into production is reduced, recourse potential of the territory is used more effectively, finite-purposed reproduction cycles are formed.
