Microeconomics
Un fundamento teórico útil del mundo de la microeconomía para nuestro caso es, a nuestro juicio, el análisis de los agregados empresariales como base para la competitividad, una teoría microeconómica elaborada por Michael PORTER.
Porter da especial importancia al desarrollo armónico de los agregados empresariales y explica las razones de la ventaja competitiva de los conglomerados industriales exitosos, los que denomina clústeres.
I thought initially it might be "business clusters", but as you can see, the author uses "conglomerados industriales" for this.
Thanks for your help.

cluster
Think you're right with cluster. Search for "clusters o agregados". They appear as 'synonymous'. The ref in the source could point to agregados rather than conglomerados.

: not quite! The point is whether an aggregate representing an industry or a business is valid in microeconomics.

: Yes, if only to distinguish it from "industrial conglomerate", which is a thing in its own right.

: Synonym or otherwise, I would go with this option. Considering DRAE definition: 6. m. Conjunto de cosas homogéneas que se consideran formando un cuerpo.

M. Porter's analysis is based on a business or industry aggregates, which is problematic in microeconomics

I know this is a long shot, but if "agregado cultural" is a cultural attaché, it might lead one to surmise that "agregados empresariales" could possibly be a fancy way that people in that region/country might use to refer to business consultants?

Discussion
Clusters are a striking feature of virtually every national, regional, state, and even metropolitan economy, especially in more economically advanced nations. Silicon Valley and Hollywood may be the world’s best-known clusters.

I'd be fairly confident in saying that "agregados empresariales" is what is meant by "clusters".
A conglomerate is something else entirely, look:
Un conglomerado de empresas o conglomerado empresarial es una combinación de dos o más empresas que realizan enteramente diferentes actividades empresariales que se encuentran bajo un mismo grupo empresarial que generalmente afectan a una sociedad matriz y numerosas filiales.
