Abstract

The innovative model of economic development allows to move to a new technological level, create new jobs in science-intensive industries, ensure sustainable long-term growth and ensure a competitive position in the world market. The introduction of the concept of smart specialization for Ukraine is actualized by the ability to carry out structural transformation of the economy on an innovative basis. It is a new approach to state support for structural change in the country's economy and combines elements of regional, innovation, industrial and educational policies. The concept of smart-specialization involves the identification and development of new industries or economic activities that are the specialization of the regions, taking into account their characteristics within the national economy. This necessitates the identification of sectoral priorities on which scientific, intellectual and financial resources should be focused. The aim of the article is to study the essence of the concept of smart specialization based on the analysis of domestic and foreign literature, highlighting the criteria for determining sectoral priorities and determining sectoral priorities for Ukraine in the context of innovative development model. The achievement of the purpose set in the article is carried out with the help of the following research methods: analysis and synthesis, logical generalization, grouping and classification, structural analysis, scientific abstraction, statistical methods. It is substantiated that the selection of sectoral priorities should be based on criteria that are specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and limited in time. It is established that such criteria may be: the industry's contribution to macroeconomic growth, industry innovation, competitive advantages of goods (services) in foreign markets, the multiplier effect of industry development on other sectors of the economy, characterized by specificity, measurability, reach, relevance and time constraints. Criteria indicators were calculated and brought to an integrated index, as a result of which priority types of economic activity in the primary, secondary and tertiary sectors of the Ukrainian economy were identified.
