Technopolises as an Effective Form of Innovation

Abstract. Introduction. In modern conditions, characterized by rapid development of scientific and technological progress, active dissemination of information and telecommunications technologies, the gradual depletion of traditional resources, a key role is given to centers of mutually beneficial combination of science, education and industrial systems. Technopolises are considered to be the centers of concentration of the emergence and implementation of innovations and new technologies. In this regard, the study of the state of innovation activity and the formation of conceptual foundations for the functioning of technopolises is relevant and timely.

Purpose. The aim of the study is to form a conceptual framework for the functioning of technopolises, which includes the theoretical basis and basic principles of the nature, purpose and main objectives of the studied category as part of the innovation infrastructure. The basis for the analysis was the statistical data of the State Statistics Service of Ukraine. The theoretical and methodological basis of the work is a set of principles and methods of scientific research: the principle of systematization and theoretical generalization, methods of comparative analysis.

Results. The analysis of indicators characterizing innovation activity is carried out, which allows to identify the main barriers to the development of innovation in Ukraine. The development of innovation infrastructure as a component of the innovation system is considered. Approaches to understanding the essence of the concept of technopolis as an effective organizational form of innovative development and implementation of innovative activities are generalized. Conceptual bases of functioning of technopolises are formed. According to the concept, the features of technopolises are singled out, as well as their dimensions. Priority directions for the development of innovation infrastructure with the use of mechanisms for the functioning of technopolises as elements of high-tech innovation economy are identified.

Conclusions. Technopolises and innovation structures of other types play an important role in ensuring the effectiveness of innovation in the country. The analysis of statistical data shows the negative dynamics of indicators that characterize innovation. Today in Ukraine it is necessary to improve institutions, including the political, regulatory and business environment, to develop infrastructure, to use the mechanisms of functioning of technopolises as elements of high-tech innovation economy.

Keywords: innovation system; innovation infrastructure; innovation activity; innovative development; technopolis.
