LEVEL OF INNOVATIVE POTENTIAL OF THE CENTRAL REGION OF UKRAINE
Abstract
Taking into account the actualization of the implementation of the cluster approach to the development of the innovation sphere, the aim was to investigate the innovation potential of the Central region of Ukraine on the basis of the system of indicators of innovation activity. The methodological basis of the article is zoning method developed by scientists of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, methodological approaches to zoning, the method of grouping components for the analysis of innovation potential. To assess the innovation potential, an evaluation method based on an integrated indicator is proposed. To determine it, the normalized values of innovation potential indicators based on deviations (x_ij-a) and standardization of indicators with a range of variation based on the minimum and maximum values of indicators were used. Based on the integrated index of innovation potential, the article evaluates the level of innovation in the Central region of Ukraine. The concept of innovation potential and factors of its development are defined. Processes in the field of innovation activity of the region are investigated. Positive and negative trends in the field of innovation are identified. The lack of implementation of a cluster approach to the realization of innovation potential has been established. A number of tendencies in the level of innovation potential of the Central district were revealed: stability of introduction of innovations by industrial enterprises, development of production of innovative products, new technologies, introduction of new technologies and innovative processes. No changes in the preconditions for the development of the innovation sphere have been revealed. The introduction of innovation processes in enterprises was a stimulating factor for innovation development in 2018. In general, the high-technology of the economy of the Central region of Ukraine remains low. Accordingly, it identifies opportunities for innovative development based on a cluster approach. Prerequisites for expanding innovation potential are local and national incentives: financial assistance to industrial enterprises through preferential taxation, interest rate compensation to enterprises that implement innovationы, compensation to enterprises focused on the export of high-tech products, local incentives.
