The Basic Directions of the Formation of IT Clusters Based on Kazakhstan s Technological Platforms

There is the need to create specialized sites the new generation, which combines the elements of innovative infrastructure. The role of such specialized zones can be IT clusters, as “growth poles” of the new generation, which aimed at transfer of advanced IT on the wide periphery of the country. Today, the successful functioning of the IT clusters; create a unique opportunity in the era of information revolution. The aim of this work is to determine the basic directions of the formation of IT clusters based on Kazakhstan s technological platforms. In this study tests two key theoretical assumptions: regions are effectively developed according to the model of poles of growth; regions in which impact of agglomeration effect that have the opportunity for the formation of clusters. In this study, we used two methodological approaches: method of identifying the concentration, which suggested the use of a modified index of concentration of Herfindahl - Hirschman Index (HHI); structured method, which suggested involves the study of the object through the development and construction of the structure. This paper contributes the basic directions of the formation of IT clusters based on Kazakhstan s technological platforms to increase competitiveness of regions of Kazakhstan.
