The article presents the results of the study of the problems of the development of the innovation infrastructure of the region and the development of the corresponding regional program. The main problems of innovation activity at the regional level are systematized and the possibilities of their solution through the development of regional innovation infrastructure are identified. On the example of the Republic of Mordovia, the possibilities of applying an integrated approach to the development of the Innovation Infrastructure Development Program in order to increase the competitiveness of the regional economy as a whole are substantiated. Variants of the Program development based on the structuring of its activities according to the main subsystems of the innovation infrastructure and depending on the compliance of the activity profile (“affiliation”) of its organizations with specific stages of the innovation process and processes supporting it are proposed. Examples of project activities of the Program for the development of technological entrepreneurship of the residents of the business incubator and the creation of an innovative databank of the Republic of Moldova are presented as the basis for the formation of a regional Technology Transfer Center. It is concluded that the proposed approach can be applied to the development of the Innovation Infrastructure Development Program in other regions with similar innovative and other parameters of activity.

Introduction. In the modern world, socio-economic and political leadership of a country is based on the generation of new knowledge, its commercialization and use in all areas of human activity, it being an important prerequisite for improving the competitiveness of the state. To achieve this goal, individual elements of the national innovation system including the main components of the innovation infrastructure are being formed in many constituent entities of the Russian Federation. Materials and Methods. The constituent entities of the Russian Federation are the object of the research, the qualitative and quantitative characteristics of the main components of the innovative productive and technological infrastructure being the subject of the study. A typology of Russia’s regions in terms of the development of their innovative productive and technological infrastructure was carried out. To calculate the integral index of the level of infrastructure development, linear scaling was applied; the number of different objects of productive and technological infrastructure in each region was used as the input indicator. Results. The types of the regions of Russia have been singled out according to the level of development of the productive and technological infrastructure and their brief description has been given. One and the same type includes territories having a similar structure and level of saturation with objects of productive and technological infrastructure which is manifested indirectly in the main results of the innovation activities of the regions. It has been revealed that more than half of the regions of Russia have a low level of development of the productive and technological infrastructure, a small number of regions are characterized by a high level of infrastructure development, in other constituent entities of the Russian Federation an average level of innovation infrastructure development has been noted. Discussion and Conclusion. The level of the innovative development of the regions of Russia largely depends on the degree of development of the productive and technological infrastructure. Further progress of the productive and technological component of the regional innovation systems is associated with the development of effective marketing mechanisms for the commercialization of innovations, with the improvement of the quality of education and its focus on the issues of innovation. The results of the research can be used by decision makers to substantiate the diversification of regional innovation systems in accordance with the priority directions of the technological development of the country.

The authors gave an overview of the innovation ecosystem formation theme development, built a logical model of the innovation infrastructure, defined the roles of the main actors. To create an innovation ecosystem in the Volgograd region, it is necessary to study the foreign experience and experience of the regions of the Russian Federation and adapt it to the socio-economic conditions of the Volgograd region. In Russia, innovation ecosystems at the regional level are only being formed. The most successful developments in innovation infrastructure building are found in the universities of Moscow, St. Petersburg, Novosibirsk, Tomsk, Perm, Samara, Kazan, Rostov-on-Don. The authors based on the analysis of the dynamics of statistical indicators for the development of innovative entrepreneurship in the Volgograd region, data ratings characterizing the innovation processes in the regions of the Russian Federation, as well as analyzing the existing infrastructure for supporting SMEs and innovative entrepreneurship, justified the need to create an innovative ecosystem in the Volgograd region. The authors have identified problems that reduce the efficiency of the infrastructure for supporting SMEs and innovative entrepreneurship, including weak interaction between knowledge generators and representatives of the business environment who are interested in their commercialization; insufficient development of social links between scientific institutions and innovative enterprises, insufficient coordination of the elements of regional innovation systems. The existing infrastructure is not built into the process of moving an idea from its generation to entering the market and does not contribute to the acceleration of innovative start-ups. The authors concluded that it is necessary to integrate an integrator in the innovative infrastructure, which performs the functions of informing and coordinating stakeholders, to intensify the flow of innovative projects by popularizing innovative activities; maintain a database of innovative projects, evaluate them, track successful projects and accelerate them.

This paper analyzes the modern trends in the development of innovation infrastructure (II) in Russia and abroad. An intensive way of development of foreign technology parks is shown, which, acquiring new qualitative features, become centers of innovation at the international level, i.e. they transform to Innovation Centers (IC). The specific features of IC as an institute of innovative economy are marked. The main trend of the development of the Russian innovation infrastructure is shown as an extensive one, relying mainly on a quantitative increase and a partial modernization of the old elements. This is the path generated by contradictions, shortcomings and mistakes in the actions of the state and business. Some paradoxes of the development of the Russian innovation infrastructure are considered: the lack of reliable information about the quantitative configuration of innovation infrastructure, the lack of unified conceptual tools for the system of II elements, effective mechanisms for their interaction, and the innovation’s demand. The main reasons for the emergence of these paradoxes are associated with the lack of a unified (systemic) approach for solving a problems accumulated in the innovation sphere are analyzed. It is shown that the state attempts directed to the development of innovation policy and its financial support, to introduce various mechanisms of interaction between the participants of the innovation process, revive some II elements, as well as the creation of principal new elements, do not bring the expected results. We propose a number of ways for overcoming the existing paradoxes. They include: developing and implementing a single conceptual framework of innovation policy, the state monitoring and reporting system, and linking innovation infrastructure development plans with Federal Strategies and Programs.

Research objective: studies of economic and transport infrastructure development in the Arctic and Northern Territories of Russia. Research methodology: analysis of transport infrastructure in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) and the types of railways used in Russia. Results: economic development of any region is proportional to the development of the road transport infrastructure and logistics. When a conventional railway is operated in the Arctic conditions, it is not always possible to maintain a cargo turnover that would ensure its efficient use, and transshipment from one mode of transport to another is very problematic. A new type of railway is proposed, i.e. a light railway. Conclusions: the proposed new type of transport offers all the main advantages of narrow gauge railroads (high speed of construction, efficiency, etc.) and helps to eliminate their main disadvantage, i.e. the need for transloading when moving from a narrow gauge to the conventional one with the width of 1520 mm, along with a significant reduction in capital costs.
