Moore emphasized that the cluster cannot reduce the efficiency indicator for new enterprises, and therefore a clear system of supporting companies is being built. The staff was also increased and the interaction model was changed. “Today we understand exactly what market niches and needs of oil and gas producing companies our participants can fill, and where there are still gaps. Therefore, we understand where to move and who needs to be involved,” Moore clarified.
