Striving to get economies of scale, to improve the use of resources, quality, innovation, skills and productivity, companies with similar or linked activities tend to cluster, creating new and complex structures which are beneficial for both the member companies and the region where they agglomerate. In its first part, this paper tries to explain why clustering “comes naturally” and clusters are nothing but another stage in the evolution towards ever more efficient productive structures. Then, it looks at the benefits clusters may bring and it makes a comparative analysis of the clusters in the old and new EU member countries, with a special focus on Romania, Germany and UK.
