Summary/Abstract: Purpose – The purpose of this article is to identify, on the basis of the assumptions of strategic documents of the voivodships of Eastern Poland, the interest of regional authorities in clusters as instruments of regional development, implementation of innovations and regional specializations and support provided for their development. Research method – The desk research technique was used for the realization of the objective. The strategic documents (i.e. regional development strategies and regional innovation strategies) from the following voivodeships: Podkarpackie, Podlaskie, Lubelskie, Warminsko-Mazurskie, Świętokrzyskie were analysed. Results – The results of the analysis show that despite the interest of the authorities in clusters as tools for activating the development of the regions, most documents lack any defined policy solutions based on clusters.
