... With the emergence of people's need for new knowledge, there is an increasing shift from faithbased religious schools to universities based on the desire for knowledge and reason (Polyakov & Gordeeva, 2019). Today through retro perspective of generations of schools and "universities" empirically you can see the whole picture of the world that prevailed in different historical periods of time within which apparent trigger points -the first drivers of growth the research and innovation environment in the world and the basis of all "industrial revolutions". ...
... Between 1820 and 1875, against the background of the spread of transport technologies, there was a significant increase in the mobility of people and their concentration in the first urban clusters (Polyakov, & Gordeeva, 2019).

Considering that the latest technologies will be the driver of growth of all changes, as well as the fact that the world of technology in the XIX century has become global, the authors support the view that the implementation of international cooperation can be considered as one of the processes of global growth (Polyakov & Gordeeva, 2019). ...
Over the past quarter of a century, the concepts of cluster development and entrepreneurial ecosystems have become very popular, which caused a heated debate about their relevance and conceptual rigor. In addition, the existing literature on clusters underestimates the role of entrepreneurs in enhancing the agglomeration effect that ties together organizations, labor, markets, and supporting ecosystems. This paper aims to study the main lessons of the development of technopreneurship in a specific region, namely in Kaliningrad region, and to show the path for creation of regional growth hubs and their embedment in global networks. The best practices are analyzed to highlight the priority areas of industrial development in the region. A conceptual model of its growth driver is proposed. Thus, the paper contributes to the existing debate about the directions of technopreneurship development and shows a specific growth point in global networks for the studied region.
