It was a crucial decision of the Government of Kazakhstan to change the way of the development from the raw materials sector to the innovation path. This study deals with the internationalization process of the high-technology sector. The main views of the scholars regarding the barriers that arise in the high-tech sector in the context of internationalization are presented. The types of barriers were studied and additional ones were supplemented by the views of authors in this article. The article demonstrates the important factors that affect the high-tech sector in Kazakhstan. Data was collected from the period 2009–2017 using elements such as (Government spending on R&D, The inflow of FDI for the high Technology Sector, Government Investment, Private Enterprise Costs, High-tech Export). Using regression, correlation analysis the supported relationship between these variables was found and interpretation of this relationship is presented. The purpose of this article was to identify factors determining a significant impact on the development of the high-tech sector in Kazakhstan. In future studies, we plan to consider more data and additional factors like the import of high-tech products to get the in-depth result. Additionally, considering the possibility to create a business model that can help to improve the current position of the high-technology sector in Kazakhstan.

Abstract Manufacturing companies operating within the high-technology sector are of interest to science, industry and national authorities because of the special economic importance attached to them. However, in order to investigate the condition of those companies, support their growth and monitor the effects of the aid awarded to them, it is first necessary to properly identify the business entities belonging to that sector. To identify the entities belonging to the high-technology industry, it is necessary to perform a sequence of activities which form the procedural algorithm. Usefulness of the algorithm has been verified using the example of a group of Warsaw high-tech companies which were subject to investigation under the European project Warsaw Entrepreneurship Forum. The algorithm could be used as the basis for the implementation of an IT tool for the identification and description of high-tech businesses.

Nowadays countries are focused on the development of high-techology industries, which will allow them to increase their competitiveness. However, Russia specializes in the export of raw materials and goods with a low degree of processing. In this regard, one of the key aims of Russia is to develop high-technoligy production and expand its presence in the markets of goods with a high degree of processing. The abstract reveals the export of high-technology goods and services. The article analyzes position of the Russian Federation in the world market of high-technology goods and services. Russia specializes in the export of such high-technology goods as aerospace production, nuclear technologies and weapons. Russia specializes in the export of such high-technology services as telecommunications, computer and information services, professional and consulting services, engineering services, services in technical fields and in the field of architecture. Special attention is paid to the promising directions of high-technology exports, the importers of Russian high-technology products and trends in exports and imports of high-technology goods as well as trends in exports of high-technology services. For example, Russia should develop exports of such high-technology goods as jet engines, nuclear reactors and their components, fuel rods, nuclear technologies and weapons. The most promising export directions from the machine-building industry are vehicles and equipment production. Russia should focus on the export of such high-technology services as information, telecommunications, computers, professional and consulting services. To stimulate the export of these services, it is necessary to create a favorable business climate in Russia, eliminate the shortage of specialists in the field of ICT, as well as improve the quality of their training.

High technology sector faces contemporary management challenges related with open innovation processes. Innovation dissemination is influenced by various variables, which require broad level of collaborative, creative efforts and effective internationalisation strategies for high technology companies. Main aim of the article is to discuss theoretical development in open innovation concept and internationalisation activities and to evaluate main challenges for internationalisation of innovation activities and sustainable inflow of new knowledge. In order to increase global competitiveness high technology sector actors need to understand important elements of innovation internationalisation process and adopt effective practice.

The cornerstone of China's strategy for developing high-technology activities is construction of scientific parks to create conditions emulating the successful High-technology clusters in the West. This is a comparative case study of biotechnology clusters in Guangdong province and the better documented ones in Beijing and Shanghai and Shenzhen. The experience of the government-controlled and supported ‘construction' and evolution of biotechnology clusters in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangdong province is compared with high-tech clustering in the West. The paper documents the existence and performance of the hitherto largely ignored Guangzhou biopharmaceutical cluster. Despite the rapid development of biopharmaceutical activities in Guangdong province, biotechnology is not yet a significant high-tech/high value-added alternative to Guangdong's specialization the labor-intensive export industries.
