Authors describe clusters as basic components of regional innovative system in the paper. Social capital and entrepreneurship are theorized to be key features of the clusters as networks of inter-organizational relations. Social capital is described on the base of four-dimensional model, including: structural social capital, cognitive social capital, cultural social capital (trust), and strategic social capital. While structural and cognitive dimensions of social capital are considered as mechanisms of process of social capital shaping, trust is treated as the main measure of value of social capital. Strategic social capital is the dynamic variable that shows the increase of social capital in a given period of time. Entrepreneurship, as the second feature of cluster, is considered in the context of entrepreneurial behaviors of organizations in the cluster. These behaviors are measured using four-dimensional model, including: innovativeness, strategic orientation, ethics, and willingness to take a risk. Authors argue that social capital of cluster enhances the entrepreneurial behaviors of organizations in the cluster. The above theoretical considerations are verified drawing on the case analysis of implementation process of Regional Innovative Strategy in Silesian Voivodship (region in southern Poland) - "RIS-Silesia". The project on clusters building in Silesian Voivodship started in 2005 as a very important part of "RIS Silesia" implementation. During the works undertaken in this project the industrial group of medical instruments producers was identified as a potential cluster.
