Abstract

This study aims to explore cluster activity in the field of green transformation, which we showed through the lens of the attributes of both the cluster and the cluster organization. The study was conducted in the period 2021‒2023 mainly in Polish National Key Clusters. The selection of clusters was based on the similarity resulting from their maturity and the differences resulting from industry affiliation and location. We conducted a two-stage quantitative survey in which we assessed cluster green transformation activity from the perspective of cluster managers and from the perspective of cluster enterprise representatives. Our study showed that for the development of cluster cooperation within green transformation, the role of geographical proximity is crucial. It was with this cluster attribute that the most popular green practices identified in the study were linked. They are associated with relationship building, learning and knowledge sharing processes, and growth of innovation potential.
