The comparative analysis of its activity is conducted. It is concluded that activity of technological parks is more protected by the state. It is highlighted that the activity of scientific parks is more responsive to changing market conditions and is able to adapt better to conditions of imperfect market competition. In addition, the essence of clusters is disclosed in the article, and a cluster map of Ukraine is presented. Technological platforms as an innovative policy tool, which is gradually gaining popularity, are considered. The main problems of the clusters and technological platforms functioning are identified. The innovative policy tools, which are more appropriate for state and regional policies implementation, are concluded.
Conclusions. On the basis of the material, we can conclude that clusters and technology platforms are most appropriate organizations that promote the development of innovation both at national level and at the regional level.
