Introduction. The transition to an innovative development model requires a dramatic increase in the share of innovative products and services by activating innovative entrepreneurship, introducing organizational innovations. One of the effective ways of modernizing the economy is the implementation of the attractor of integrated development of innovation infrastructure at four levels: macro level (national innovation system, free economic zones, venture financing); meso-level (creation of business incubators, technoparks, hacking, coworkings); micro-level (funds attraction, outsourcing, intrapreneurship) and nano-level (freelancing; crowdsourcing).The hypothesis of scientific research is based on the assumption that a new understanding of the priorities of educational and innovation policy and the creation of an appropriate institutional environment for the development of the ecosystem "education – science – business" will promote the establishment of equivalent relations between market actors in accordance with national priorities and world trends in scientific and technological development.The purposeof the research is to provide a comprehensive substantiation of the theoretical and methodological foundations of the formation of a management system of cluster interaction of interactive tools of the innovation chain of knowledge on a new basis, providing the attractor of innovative development of innovation and technological centers of coworking as a platform for the development of educational clusters.The methodology of the research is based on the general scientific methodology – philosophy and system approach, as well as on interdisciplinary methodological approaches – institutional, resource, network and cluster, used in socio-economic sciences.Results. A new approach to the formation of institutional forms of the implementation of innovative entrepreneurship, as well as mechanisms for the formation and functioning of small cluster business structures on the basis (with participation) of university units, allows to provide an efficient transfer of knowledge from the system of education to entrepreneurship in order to provide innovative development as the most entrepreneurial institution of higher education, and cluster action zone.Conclusions. An integrated combination of the proposed approaches to business organization provides introduction of innovative directions of economic activity, creation of additional workplaces, reduction of unemployment, poverty reduction and formation of a stratum of potentially innovative-active people who can create their own business for improving the quality and standard of living of the population.

The huge potential of innovations to achieve the goals of sustainable development is indisputable, but at the same time the task of orienting the innovation process to its most problematic areas, which is a threat to national security, arises. This issue is relevant in the context of the formation of mechanisms of interaction between the state, business and society and is an urgent scientific and practical problem. Based on the above, the purpose of the study is to analyze the main components of innovation development strategies in the framework of national strategies for sustainable development. In the study, the author improved the scheme of the relationship between development and security, which is focused on achieving development and security goals through appropriate innovation policies and development management. Taking into account the importance of innovative development, as well as the national characteristics of the relationship between it and the goals of sustainable development, a practical approach to the coherence of innovation policy for sustainable development is proposed. It is determined that for the implementation of the coherence of innovation policy for sustainable development, an analytical component is important, which will link the goals of sustainable development and indicators of the innovation system as the basis for their achievement. To determine the impact of innovative development on the sustainable development of Ukraine, the impact of the indicator of goal 9 on the other 16 goals is determined. The components of the national system «sustainable development – security» are identified and evaluated on the basis of Sustainable Development Report 2019. As prospects for using the developed methodology of institutional innovation (creating institutional conditions for innovative priorities of sustainable development) it is proposed to consider it in the context of achieving sustainable goals development (systematic integration of economic, social and environmental aspects of sustainable development) at the regional level.

Introduction. An effective national innovation system is a key mechanism for modernizing the economy and forming a qualitatively new competitive economy based on innovation. One of the factors that can increase competitiveness is the active use of innovative technologies that will lead to the formation of scientific and technical, production, financial, social activities in a new institutional environment. Purpose. The article evaluates the dependence of competitiveness on the type of innovation, and proposes a scheme for evaluating the effectiveness of management innovations of the port industry. Method (methodology). The following methods were used to achieve this goal: logical generalization, analysis, grouping. Results. Competition has shifted to innovation in recent decades. The processes of economic transformation affect the competitive behavior of port enterprises, forcing them to become responsive to market signals, proactive and flexible because when the rate of change occurring outside the company exceeds the rate of change occurring inside it, then such situation leads to industrial death. In the modern concept of innovative development of port enterprises, technology, the scale of investment in research is a central endogenous component. The emphasis of key resources in development is transferred from the production space to the availability of mobile finance and human intelligence, a new type of enterprise arise. Conclusions. The port industry will face a new quality competition – digital competition, when companies will compete not only in price and service, but also in the level of digitalization. Namely: how user-friendly interfaces, user offices, whether B2B data synchronization is available, whether it is possible to track cargo, passengers, collect and process data online. All this will give businesses access to qualitatively new solutions. Digitalization and competition are interconnected things that affect the innovative development of the port industry today and will be leading in the near future.

Relevance of the research. Today's rapid global development is due to the latest technological changes brought about by another (fourth) industrial revolution, which opens up a window of opportunities for many countries to realize their intellectual potential and thus enhance their competitiveness. The innovative imperative, together with the government inclusive policy, remains a key driver of socio-economic growth and sustainable development. The subject of the research is innovative processes in Ukraine and factors that influence their course in the context of implementing the state innovation policy. The purpose of this article is to identify characteristic tendencies of the innovative development of Ukraine, to justify the identified problems and factors of influence, as well as to work out recommendations concerning directions for increasing the effectiveness of innovation policy in the implementation of socio-economic objectives, approved by the authorities. Methodology of work – the principles of innovation theories and economic growth; concepts of open innovation, innovative systems, 4.0-industry; the principles of the scientific and technological paradigm. The state of some innovation indicators has been assessed with the help of statistical analysis. Based on a systematic approach the problems of innovative development of Ukraine have been identified. Structuring and synthesis methods were used to develop proposals for strengthening the role of the innovation factor in ensuring economic growth. The results of the work are the following: the state of innovation processes in Ukraine is carried out and assessed, problems are identified and paradoxes are characterized – all that which makes the realization of the set goals of the state innovation policy more complicated and requires the development of measures to create a new model of the national innovation system. Conclusions. The negative phenomena in the sphere of innovation activity pose a threat to the economic and technological security of Ukraine, which requires urgent actions by both the senior political leadership of the state and the executive authorities at all levels. The creation of the innovative system based on the use of market mechanisms and the state active scientific, technological and innovation policy should be the basis for the development of knowledge-based sectors, their long-term competitiveness within the national borders and in the world markets.

PurposeThe goal of the research is to analyze the university development trends in the national innovation system. The paper presents a review of the formation of innovative development strategies and the place of a university in them. The structure is based on the analysis of foreign trends of the transformation of universities and the examination of the efficiency of the interaction between the university, industry and the state. Russian experience in the transformation of universities is presented.Design/methodology/approachResearch methodologies include methods of statistical and comparative analysis and synthesis. The information analysis base of the research is composed of the reports of the World Intellectual Property Organization at year-end 2019, as well as global comparative assessments of the status and development of innovation activities by the Global Innovation Index and Global Competitiveness Index, which are calculated according to the methodology of the World Economic Forum and others.FindingsIn the course of research, the authors put forward a new model of universities within the framework of the national innovation system, which is based on the “triple helix model of innovation” implemented by universities, industry and the state. The logic and structure of the research are set forth in the following way. First, a review of the global practice of the formation and implementation of state innovation policy is given, with the university being a key link, the foreign experience in the transformation of universities is analyzed and the efficiency of the interaction between the university, industry and the state is examined. Furthermore, consideration is given to the Russian experience in the transformation of universities. In conclusion, the main findings of the research are presented.Practical implicationsResults testify that goals and objectives that can be solved by achieving indicators in the world rankings are important for improving competitiveness of education, but they are only efficient if they conform to management decisions that are taken for achieving them and coincide with strategic goals and directions that should be implemented within the framework of the national innovation and academic system.Originality/valueResearch hypothesis is as follows: modern age is characterized by the rapid development of digital technologies and globalization processes, which transform technologies and cultural patterns into techniques and methods of working with information. Despite the fact that a university is the center for the development of society and culture, which serves as an axiological core, it is subject to the transformation, which is mainly manifested in instrumental changes and the expansion of the social procurement range. The modern educational system is yet to find a contemporary conceptual framework of a university that would satisfy the up-to-date requirements of the global information society in an age of digital revolution and dominate in the educational services market.

Abstract Subject and purpose of work: Analysis of the innovative development trends of the agricultural sector in the Visegrad Group countries in 1995–2019. Investigation of the impact of innovation on value added to GDP by the sector and the patent activity. Materials and methods: Secondary data used in the current research were taken from Eurostat, World Bank and European Patent Office databases. They were analyzed by applying OLS models and Granger causality tests. Results: First, composition of R&D expenses in each Visegrad country was examined. Then its relationship to agricultural GDP and the number of the patents granted was tested by means of OLS models. Forecasting the relationship between variables examined was carried out by running Granger causality tests. Conclusions: There was a constant growth in agricultural innovation activity investment from 1995 to 2019. Nevertheless, the countries examined have not yet reached the EU’s objective concerning the R&D intensities. Innovation activity had a positive impact on the value added to GDP by agriculture and on the number of the patents granted.

The article is devoted to the study of the nature, features and significance of intellectual property in modern economic systems. The role of intellectual property in stimulating the development of the national economy and changing its specialization in the post-industrial era is analyzed. Authors underlined the fact that Ukraine faces the problem of changing economic specialization in the context of post-industrial transformations in order to ensure an advantageous position in the global competitive environment. The analysis shows that EU countries and the US are trying to export finished products with a high share of value added, while most of Ukraine's export basket is made up of raw materials, which gives our country a losing position in the global economic environment. The role of commercialization of intellectual property and investments in intellectual capital in the structural transformation of the economic system and the formation of the post-industrial system of production is substantiated. The impact of knowledge, information, innovations and intellectual property on the economic growth and competitiveness of the country in modern globalized consumer markets has been investigated. South Korea's experience in the commercialization of intellectual property and the formation of an effective model of specialization is considered. Results of research demonstrated that distinguishing tools as a component of intangible assets of enterprises turned into important factor of its competitiveness in the context of post-industrial transformations. China's experience in supporting the commercialization of intellectual property by creating industrial parks that accumulate foreign direct investment is studied. Analysis of statistics has proved key role of intellectual property in the modern system of public reproduction, and allows to identify a clear link between the volume and dynamics of investment in intellectual capital and profitability of innovative enterprises. The necessity to implement the state policy aimed at changing the economic specialization of Ukraine in the direction of forming a favorable institutional environment for the implementation of innovative and technological potential has been substantiated.

The research deals with studying the factors impeding formation and functioning the innovation and investment system in Ukraine including the following: lack of innovations funding sources; imperfection of infrastructure for innovations creation and implementation; lack of necessary information on market prospects of the existing ideas and knowledge as well as advisory support of the project running from the idea to the commercialization stage; lack of established communication between scientists and business representatives. In addition, the industry is not institutionally prepared for running these processes, there is no system ensuring the innovative interest of producers. It is justified that for innovation changes, management system modernization at all levels, the development of integrated decision-making system in order to gain a competitive advantages at both the level of products generated and the industry in general are necessary along with other important factors. Also, the efficiency of public management of innovation processes is justified.It has been proved that the main directions of formation of an effective mechanism for public management of innovative development of agriculture should be: development of the institutional environment of the innovation system; state support of innovative activity, improvement of the system of development and support of small and medium business; facilitating the implementation of a public-private partnership mechanism; creation of agrarian clusters; active educational activities aimed at engaging community residents to participate in the decision-making process for the development of their territories and to realize the need to solve problems on their own.It is suggested that regional agricultural universities, together with rural communities and other public organizations of technological platforms (with the support of the state), where Agrarian business and the state, UTC, can become potential customers of innovations are proposed. On the one hand, business, UTC and the state make a request to solve their problems, and on the other, scientists, students, inventors offer innovative solutions that are further scaled and become the basis for their own innovative business.

This paper offers an analysis of the main industrial policy measures adopted by the three Italian governments following each other on from 2013. The first focused its industrial policy on boosting the creation of innovative start-ups and fostering small-scale enterprises in order to acquire new equipment. The second of these governments stimulated public aggregate demand and passed the reform known as the Jobs Act (2014). The industry’s capacity utilization rate rose in 2016, as did the value added of the companies to their net revenues. In 2017, the third government initiated a project aimed at driving the Italian economy into the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Up to now there have indeed been positive signals from the viewpoint of capital expenditure on plants and equipment, but not yet from that of knowledge and training for new jobs.

AbstractBuilding upon social fields theory, the authors analyze the impact of the three social forces – institutions, social networks and cognitive frames – on the social topography of regional innovation systems. Unlike previous studies, which focused on individual social force, the authors’ fuzzy-set comparative analysis of fifteen diverse regions from four continents reveals nuanced impact of individual forces and shows that a well-functioning regional innovation system is the outcome of their combined influence. This implies a need for a coherent, reflexive, context-specific and multi-level innovation policy that supports the balanced development of an institutional framework, encourages the formation of social networks and enables supportive cognitive frames.
