Activities in the field of technology transfer according to innovation priorities in Ukraine.

Abstract

Ensuring the interaction of science, education, production in the development of innovative activities; support of technology transfer, protection of domestic products in the domestic market and their promotion to the foreign market are among the main principles of innovation policy. Technology is the result of scientific and technical activity. To implement the technology into public practice, the technology is transferred by concluding a bilateral or multilateral agreement between individuals and/or legal entities. Technology transfer is one of the key components of innovative activity. An important task for ensuring the implementation of the state innovation policy is research and analysis of the results of activities in the field of technology transfer in general and in terms of priority areas of innovation activity. The purpose of the research is to analyze and evaluate the results of the transfer of technologies created with budget funds by enterprises, scientific institutions, organizations and institutions of higher education in Ukraine with the possible use of the results of the conducted research for predictive and analytical justification when preparing proposals for making relevant decisions in the field of technology transfer. The study of activities in the field of technology transfer according to the strategic priorities of innovative development in Ukraine was carried out by the Ukrainian Institute of Scientific and Technical Expertise and Information under the relevant mandate of the Ministry of Education and Culture, which ensures its annual implementation within the framework of the implementation of the state innovation policy. The study of the results of technology transfer was carried out within the framework of the Law of Ukraine “On State Regulation of Activities in the Field of Technology Transfer” through monitoring conducted on the basis of information data with open access of the main managers of budget funds regarding the transfer of technologies created with budget funds by enterprises, scientific institutions, organizations and institutions of higher education. A comparative assessment of the obtained results of innovative activity was carried out in terms of strategic priorities by types of transfer of innovative activity; the dynamics of technology transfer in the domestic and foreign markets were studied. Based on the results of the study, conclusions were drawn regarding: an increase in the share of new technologies transferred to the domestic market; increasing the competitiveness of technologies transferred on the foreign market and increasing the amount of income from their transfer; increase in revenue from the transfer of technologies to industrial enterprises due to the effective transfer of the Ministry of Education and Culture; transfer with registration of intellectual property rights on the foreign market of all technologies, on the domestic market —the majority of them. Proposals have been made to increase the funding of scientific research with a focus on the transfer of the results of fundamental scientific research into the thematic areas of research and development with the involvement of the business sector in funding; to intensify the stimulation of investors (domestic and foreign) to support R&D and innovative activities.
