Abstract: The objective of this article is to present the institutional practices implemented by the governance units in Moroccan clusters, to facilitate the emergence and rapid dissemination of innovation within these agglomerations. And to achieve this, we have chosen to study the case of a cluster that operates in the renewable energy sector, this is the solar cluster. Firstly, we will try to characterize the cluster according to the trend of innovative clusters, secondly we will highlight the institutional practices used by this cluster, and finally we will determine the type of governance practiced by the cluster object of our study.
