Сharacteristics of economic clusters, conditions and stages of their formation, as well as the main types of clusters are considered. Separately, possibilities of forming economic clusters based on prerequisites for development of agglomerations in the Kemerovo region are considered. For this purpose, the experience of creating clusters in the Kemerovo region was evaluated: соmprehensive mineral processing of coal and manmade waste, biomedical, tourist and recreational, agro-industrial and light industry clusters. As a result, the main economic clusters (technogenic, ecological, tourist ones, processing of agricultural products, machinebuilding, road engineering, housing development, suburban construction, social infrastructure) promising for further development in such mining region as Kuzbass are identified. The article substantiates the effectiveness of the economic clusters formation based on the concept of sustainable development at the regional level, which should be carried out within the framework of GOST R ISO 9001-2015 – improving the performance of enterprises and organizations through initiatives aimed at sustainable growth.

Keywords: mining region, cluster approach, agglomeration, man-induced waste, non-ferrous and rare metals, innovation, sustainable growth.
