Open innovations combine the interaction of the authorities and the population in regions of Russia. Social and political interaction of Russian network users demonstrates new open forms of political participation, mobilization practices (initiative appeals, petitions), the use of expert systems data, and remote access technologies. The increasing number of initiatives and the growth of online communities involved in the discussion and adjustment of the results of innovation activities require the use of a big data format. The demand for open innovation based on the principles of transparency of social and political interactions is being updated during COVID-19. This study aims to assess the effectiveness of open innovations in social and political interactions during COVID-19. The innovative practices of communication between the population and authorities were studied using DataMining tools based on digital platforms: “Russian Public Initiative”, “Change.org” and “GoogleTrends”. Users’ social graphs represent the visualization in terms of thematic and territorial groupings. The results obtained allow for a conclusion about the dependence of the regional innovation activities on the openness of their communications and their location relative to authoritative and other types of resources. The physical location of the region (center–border region–periphery) and dependence on implementation at the federal, regional or municipal levels are circumstances influencing the effectiveness of social and political innovations.

Innovations are seen as an important factor of regional growth, but what influences the innovation activity of enterprises? In the regional innovation system, the set of actors interacting with each other is surrounded with a specific socio-economic environment. In the present research, the following economic and social features in a region – human capital, social capital, the level of economic development, and the existence of FDI – are analysed as possible factors of the innovation activity undertaken by enterprises. Two types of innovation activity are analysed: in-house R&D and the acquisition of machinery, software and equipment. The analysis was conducted for the years: 2004-2006, 2006-2008, 2008-2010, 2010-2012, 2012-2014, and the 16 Polish NUTS-2 regions. Based on the results of econometric panel models, innovation cooperation was found to be significant and positively related with both types of innovation activity. Moreover, public financial support and the level of foreign capital involvement were found positively related with the in-house R&D activity.

Innovation Cooperation

Innovation cooperation between local embeddedness and global supply chains. The example of the regional innovation system in Penang, Malaysia. While locational competition in Asia is increasing, regional innovation systems within developing countries like Penang are facing the challenge to increase their technological capability. This question can be framed in innovation systems’ theoretical components like the role of innovation cooperation within spatial proximity, while the local embeddedness of multinational firms or at least of parts of their supply chains can foster technological capability development of local small and medium sized enterprises (SME) potentially. The technological capability in Penang turns out to be relatively low. The main activities among Penangs multinational firms are still focussed on assembly. The innovation system is dominated by multinationals and is externally controlled. Horizontal cooperation is the exception, while vertical and proprietary regimes are still dominant and so the scope for technological learning for local firms is limited.

Definition Of

The development of cross-border tourism markets can not be considered beyond the basic principles of EU development policy - smart, sustainable and inclusive growth. The approach to the development of tourism based solely on the use of cultural and natural resources is unpredictable in modern conditions. European experience proves that it is important to consider tourism not as a sphere in the shadow of the industrial sector, but as an integral part of the regional innovation system and an element of the development of the knowledge economy in the region. At the same time, smart-development of tourism is based not only on the active use of the newest information and communication technologies, but also on managerial innovations, production of innovative types of tourist services, application of technologies related to the use of robotics, innovative medical equipment, renewable energy, etc. The purpose of the article is to determine strategic priorities of the development of cross-border tourism market on the basis of smart-specialization, definition of directions of joint actions of Ukraine and the EU countries (both at the level of authorities and local self-government, and business sector) in the development and promotion of new tourist products, substantiation of directions of effective the use of endogenous tourist potential of a cross-border region in conditions of activation of European integration processes. On the basis of the study, main development directions of Ukrainian-Polish cross-border tourism market on the basis of smart-specialization are defined as following: creation of a digital platform for the Ukrainian-Polish cross-border tourism market, active promotional campaign for tourist products of Ukrainian-Polish cross-border tourism market, development of cycling tourism and creation of an inter-state bicycle route, expansion of market by increasing the number of tourists aged 55+ and creation of tourist products for this age group as well as development of sentimental (nostalgic) tourism.

The values of the natural environment in the subject literature are commonly indicated as an asset conducive to development shaping the competitiveness of areas with such values. The paper attempts to assess the use of endogenous potential of such areas in shaping the multifunctional, sustainable development of rural areas that have such qualities. In particular, the aim was to check to what extent the sme sector, dominating in the economic structure of rural areas, solves the key problem of labour market imbalance and population migration in environmentally valuable areas. The area of detailed research is Podkarpacie, the Polish region considered as a peripheral, border region, the least urbanized region with the highest share of areas covered by various forms of nature protection and forestation, with one of the lowest gdp per capita indicator in the country. For the purpose of implementing the research assumptions, a taxonomic unit (using the complete linkage method) consisting of powiats with the highest concentration of features characteristic for rural areas of high natural values was separated. Synthetic indicators calculated on the basis of the Hellwig taxonomic development pattern method and a positional method using Weber's median were used to assess the diversity of entrepreneurship level. The research confirmed that the non-agricultural economic activity sector is less developed in areas of high natural value. Despite positive developments in the enterprise sector, their potential is too weak an economic base for addressing unsustainable labour market problems, as evidenced by high unemployment and a high negative migration balance. This limits the use of the endogenous potential of these areas and is not conducive to the concept of multifunctional, sustainable development. Migration poses a threat to the depopulation of these areas with all the negative consequences associated with such processes. This is a challenge for the studied areas and regional policy.

Purpose of the article: to determine the essence of different elements ofsocio-economic space of the region. Construction of the structure and isolationof individual elements of socio-economic space as a multi-vector formation.This article highlights the essence and different approaches to defining theconcepts, structure and mechanisms of formation of economic and social spacesof the region, innovation space as a basic element of socio-economic space.Research Methods: The methodological basis of the research is the fundamentalprinciples of economic theory, regional economy, scientific views and approachesof foreign and domestic scientists. To achieve the purpose of the study, themethods used at the empirical and theoretical levels were used: axiomatic,abstract, system-structural analysis, analogies and comparisons, graphoanalytic,by which the characterization of the nature of the concepts of space, socioeconomic space, as well as innovation space region. Their general properties,structure and functions are described.The criteria of optimality and balancesof interests in the formation of different types of space in the region areconsidered. The classification of the regional space is proposed, and the networkconnections of the innovation space according to components and elements arerevealed, which allows to study deeply the social, economic and other problemsof development of the region.Scientific novelty: the classification of regionalspace by separate constituent elements is proposed. The concept of “innovationspace” was introduced into scientific circulation, the scheme of networkconnections of the innovation space with other elements of the regional socioeconomic space was developed. Conclusions and Prospects for Further Research:In today’s context, it is possible to significantly improve the economic stateof development of Ukrainian regions by using a scientifically sound andcomprehensive approach to defining and studying the concepts of socioeconomic and innovative space.In the further study it is necessary to considerin detail the mechanism of organizational activity of innovation space in theregion. It is very important to pay attention to information support for theformation of the innovation space, the creation of a regional legal field ofinnovation space, mechanisms for coordinating regional innovation activitieswithin the innovation space, as well as the influence of internal and externalfactors on the formation and development of the innovation space.
