The paper investigates the mechanism of operation of European innovation partnerships, which are a new organizational element aimed at creating market opportunities through increased cooperation of stakeholders in the crosssectoral, cross-industrial and inter-territorial contexts. This contradicts the traditional approach to supporting innovation through direct state financing. The European experience of innovation partnerships is valuable for Ukraine due to its effectiveness, systemic nature, scale and institutional support. The author’s experience of creating a Ukrainian-Moldovan cross-border cluster for wine waste processing is used to conduct a comparative analysis of the institutional framework for the creation and operation of European and Ukrainian innovation partnerships. The obtained results determine directions for development, namely creation of national platforms of innovation partnerships in target areas, integration of platforms at various levels (local, regional, national, cross-border, European), establishment of the institute of innovation brokerage and creation of permanent consulting / brokering services in the innovation sector, involvement of sectoral regional programmes and their resources in creating innovation partnerships, and development and adoption of a national concept and programme of building innovation partnerships.
