INTRODUCTION
The present publication is based on 4 potential trans-border clusters which have been identi-fied as a result of research and implementationof the international EstRuClusters Development project: hospitality, metalworking, woodwork-ing, and chemical industry clusters. In reality, these clusters are still latent, i.e. not developed or formalized, but they have every opportunity of developing into competitive clusters provided proper conditions are created by local authorities and entrepreneurs themselves are willing.
In this document, a trans-border cluster is de-fined as a ‘geographically concentrated networkof cooperating companies in complimentary sectors and supporting institutions in the trans-border region of Estonian North-East and Russian North-West’.
In the project framework, four business con-tact meetings have been carried out for entre-preneurs in these cluster sectors. The meetings corroborated the research and detected the en-trepreneurs’ willingness to unite into clusters. Participants of the contact meetings were 125 Estonian and Russian businessmen and 40 offi-cials representing partner municipalities of the project.
The objective of this document is to visualize these four potential trans-border clusters of Es-tonian North-East and Russian North-West. Sug-gested development models of individual clus-ters as well as subjects of future clusters are only included in this document by way of recommen-dation.

TRANS-BORDER CLUSTERS
Out of the eight sectors researched, four sectors have been selected eventually based on the results of the Final Cluster Analysis (2008) and in consistence with the objectives of the EstRuClusters Development project. Con-sequently, these sectors were used as a basis to identify 4 prospective trans-border clusters that possess suffi-cient potential for development in the regions of Ida-Virumaa county, Estonia, and Leningrad region including the city of St. Petersburg, Russia.
HOSPITALITY CLUSTER
Ida-Virumaa• 109 enterprises or 5,6% of the total number of all Estonian companies in the sector • 10th most agile sector in Ida-Virumaa • 8% of all employees in the sector in Estonia • 434 million EUR turnover in Estonia

Leningrad region• 295 companies • 15 billion RUB turnover • 12302 employees in the sector
St. Petersburg• 1352 companies • 42 billion RUB turnover • 39044 employees

WOODWORKING CLUSTER
Ida-Virumaa• 71 enterprises or 5,8% of the total number of all Estonian companies in the sector • 6th most agile sector in Ida-Virumaa and Estonia • 6% of all employees in the sector in Estonia • Over 1 billion EUR turnover in Estonia
Leningrad region• 549 companies • 9 billion RUB turnover • 8266 employees in the sector
St. Petersburg• 660 companies • Over 6 billion RUB turnover • 8760 employees
Cluster includes following branches: Manufacture of wood and of products of wood and cork, furniture; manufacture of articles of straw and plaiting materials, forestry industry, manufacture of veneer sheets; manufacture of plywood, and other panels and boards, sawing industry and other sectors related to woodworking
Although the clusters mentioned refer to specific sectors, effectiveness of cluster formation also depends ontheir inter-sector cooperation, where relevant innovative tension and products can be created at the intersec-tion of sectors.

Moreover, interaction with such topic platforms as IT, education, industrial design, etc can make clusters strong-er and more competitive.
Based on the selection of four clusters, target two-day business contact meetings were organized for entrepre-neurs in each of these sectors. As part of these contact meetings, Russian and Estonian experts also conducted training sessions for entrepreneurs acquainting them with the cluster approach and business internationaliza-tion measures.

HOSPITALITY CLUSTER
On December 4 and 5, 2008, business contact meetings and training sessions took place in the town of Kingi-sepp, Leningrad region. The events were titled ‘Cluster as a modern tool of increasing competitive ability in a global economy’ and intended for Russian and Estonian entrepreneurs engaged in the hospitality sector. Over 25 businesses participated in the training session: representatives of travel agencies, hotels, restaurants, trans-port companies, museums, etc. from Kohtla-Järve, Sillamäe, Narva (Estonia), Ivangorod, Slantsy, and Kingisepp (Russia).

Based on the region’s natural conditions and the presence of a number of unique objects which emerged as re-sults of industrial activity, participants generated a common viewpoint that formation of hospitality cluster may proceed through the development of extreme tourism and sports.

CHEMICAL CLUSTER
A contact event for representatives of local municipalities and companies of Russian North-West and Estonian North-East engaged in the chemical sector took place in Kohtla-Järve, Ida-Virumaa, on February 26-27, 2009. The meeting brought together representatives of petrochemical and oil shale mining industry, producers of electric power, experts in construction and maintenance works at industrial facilities, carriers of petrochemical products, staff of research institutes and universities.

Contacts between entrepreneurs resulted in tentative agreements of cooperation. In particular, negotiations were carried out on commercialization of innovations – utilization of oil shale waste materials and production of fertilizers in Russia with the participation of the Estonian company that is enabled to certify the products un-der EU regulations.
Presented below is structure of interaction within a potential chemical cluster.

METALWORKING CLUSTER
The third round of business contact meetings took place in Slantsy, Leningrad region, on April 23-24. This event was aimed at establishing cooperation between entrepreneurs in metalworking sector, providing them with information about possible ways of successful collaboration, assisting creation of and strengthening links be-tween businesses including the cluster method.

Contacts between entrepreneurs resulted in tentative agreements of cooperation based on a more significantinnovative component as innovations in the area of metalworking are rarely used or unfamiliar to them at the present time. The role of a St. Petersburg company as a leading innovative enterprise in a possible trans-border cooperation was also discussed.
Below is a possible model of interaction between members of a potential trans-border metalworking cluster.

WOODWORKING CLUSTER
The final round of business contact meetings took place on June 18-19 in Narva-Jõesuu, Ida-Virumaa; they wereaimed at the sector of woodworking and furniture industry. The event was attended by representatives of com-panies engaged in the following areas: wood sawing and dressing, timber production, manufacture of wooden building structures and joinery, manufacture of wooden tools and souvenirs, furniture production, etc.

The majority of participants endorsed the vision of the cluster already in the formation stage in Narva. The vi-sion is as follows:
The cluster established in Narva is the core of furniture and woodworking industry in Ida-Virumaa; its Estonian and Russian members export on a global scale, use sparing technologies and renewable energy, and are a cen-tre of innovations in their sector.
A model of interaction between participants of a potential woodworking and furniture industry cluster is pre-sented below.
