The article deals with the theoretical and conceptual foundations of the functioning of innovation clusters in the field of information technology. In particular, the essence of innovation clusters and their role in the development of the innovation environment are revealed, the mechanism of interaction between cluster participants, models of financing and management of innovation clusters in the IT sector are analyzed. The features of innovative development and the specifics of the IT sector are analyzed. The main factors influencing the development of clusters and mechanisms for their support are outlined. Examples of successful IT clusters are considered and it is established that the modern development of information technologies affects all aspects of economic and social life, so special attention should be paid to the creation and functioning of innovation clusters, which become the engine of economic growth, contribute to the competitiveness of regions and countries, and provide conditions for the implementation of innovative solutions in various fields. It is proved that information technology is one of the most dynamic sectors of the economy with a high potential for innovation, where the creation of clusters helps to unite companies, scientific institutions and government agencies to accelerate innovation processes. It is determined that the creation of successful IT clusters requires not only effective interaction between participants, but also adequate government support, developed infrastructure and access to finance. It is proved that the theoretical and conceptual framework for the functioning of innovation clusters in the field of information technology provides for both the formation and development of innovation clusters in the field of IT, which requires active participation of the state, scientific institutions and business. The formation of IT clusters is proposed to include the concentration of human resources, developed infrastructure, state support and innovative culture
