The hypothesis is that it is possible to formulate the hypothesis that at the postwar period, Ukraine would form a new innovation strategy that will push country to become global competitively and innovatively. The methods of scientific research were applied to research the global innovation system of Canada and the development of Canada's superclusters: theoretical generalization, empirical method and methods of statistical analysis. The supercluster is a new initiative promoted by the Canadian federal government to strengthen Canada’s most promising clusters and allow innovative firms to operate more productively in sourcing inputs and accessing information, knowledge, and technology. The Innovation superclusters have many positive characteristics as a new framework to rethink Canada’s innovation strategy based on public-private partnership model. The specific measures for development of industrial clusters in Ukraine at the postwar period, and elaboration of national strategy for the development of innovation system in Ukraine can be research objects in future research.
