FORMATION OF BACKBONE PROJECTS IN THE INDUSTRY OF A REGION
Industry occupies a special place among the types of economic activity in any region. Projects for the development of backbone industrial enterprises in regions play a decisive role in the formation of their production specialization. Hence, the transition to project management in the development of regions most often means the implementation of appropriate measures in industry. The paper gives a definition of systemic projects, shows the conditions for their implementation, depending on the purpose of implementation and significance. The place of backbone projects in the development of industrial centers of the Republic of Bashkortostan is shown. Discrepancies are revealed in the list of projects included in the Strategy of Socio-Economic Development of the Republic of Bashkortostan, cities and municipal districts and in other regulatory documents aimed at accelerating territorial development. The solution of the following tasks is considered: determination of trends and patterns in the development of industry in the regions; identification of the main requirements for projects to develop industry in the regions of the country; survey of the existing package of projects for the development of this industry in Bashkiria; proposals for backbone projects in the industry of the republic. The implementation of projects takes place in different municipal regions and municipalities in different ways. In the Republic of Bashkortostan, more than 80 % of industrial production is concentrated in four cities - Ufa, Salavat, Sterlitamak and Neftekamsk. They also account for most of the investments. At the same time, investments in these cities enjoy all kinds of benefits. It was proposed to strengthen the benefits for projects located outside the zone of traditional industrial location and for new types of activities for the republic.
