V4 countries have different industrial structure and experiences in creative industries development. V4 is at an initial phase of support for creative industries, V4 states have some similarities, e.g. critical mass of the clusters, existence of a cooperative agreement, etc. Al though limitations in public support have been perceived and different sectors of creative industries develops in different countries. The largest number of creative clusters was established in 2011 in Poland. On the contrary, a decreasing trend is noted in Hungary where they dominate in Budapest . In Poland clusters are more spatially dispersed and are located in Wroclaw ­ Cracow and Poznan ­ Lodz ­ Warsaw ­ Lublin, concentrated mostly in populated areas. Creative clusters in Ukraine are not developed.
