Returning to the practice of publicly covering the activities of regional and local authorities will contribute to increasing entrepreneurs’ trust in them. • Diversification of communication channels. It is advisable to restore broad public involvement in the discussion and adoption of decisions by authorities through digital platforms, public hearings, advisory councils, and other services. In addition, regular updating and maintenance of social media pages and official websites constitute an important aspect of communication among regional actors. This will ensure the representativeness of regional and local stakeholders and inclusiveness in the process of aggregating regional interests. 2. Intensifying the use of the social dialogue mechanism. Currently, this instrument is largely formal in nature. One of the key problems in this context is the lack of accountability of the heads of territorial tripartite socio-economic councils for the results of their activities before the public. Although the law does not directly provide for mandatory reporting by the co-chairs of tripartite councils, we believe that extrapolating the experience of the National Council in terms of accountability would stimulate the activation of social dialogue at the regional level. Under such conditions, even formal responsibility would enhance the effectiveness of this mechanism. 3. Cluster development. In academic literature, a cluster is defined as a voluntary territorial and sectoral association of business entities ―that closely cooperate with research institutions and local authorities in order to enhance the competitiveness of their products and promote regional economic growth‖ [5].
