Abstract
The region sustainable development presupposes the creation of conditions ensuring the progressive development to achieve a qualitatively new state of the regional economy. One of the strategic goals of the social and economic development of Smolensk Region is the intellectual property market infrastructure development, the provision of technology transfer and the stimulation of inventive activity in the region. The analysis of the rating of Russian innovative regions showed that according to the most important indicators of innovative activity in industrial production, Smolensk region is in the first half of the all-Russian rating of regions, and the lower activity in research and development is complemented by low indicators of patent activity in Smolensk region in comparison with the average Russian indicator values. In this regard, the issues of the formation and use of the intellectual activity results were identified and priority directions were developed to activate the scientific and innovative sphere of Smolensk region.
Highlights
In order to achieve this goal, it is required to increase the coefficient of inventive activity in Smolensk region; create conditions for increasing the number of researchers in the region; to intensify the activities of projects aimed at ensuring the availability of additional education programs that reflect the most important trends in the technological development of Russia [2]
The purpose of this study is to develop measures to activate the scientific and innovative sphere for the sustainable development of Smolensk region
The rating formation methodology is based on the approach used by the European Commission to conduct a comparative assessment of the innovative development of EU regions in order to develop and implement innovative policy measures at the regional level (Regional Innovation Scoreboard) [4]
Summary
The Strategy for Social and Economic Development of Smolensk region through to 2030 foresees the region innovative development in the context of the development of branches of the knowledge-intensive economy and the creation of high-tech industries in Smolensk region, the creation of innovative territorial clusters and further changes in the infrastructure of the knowledge-based economy, regional policy to stimulate inventive activity and in the field of intellectual property [1].In order to achieve this goal, it is required to increase the coefficient of inventive activity in Smolensk region (the number of domestic patent applications for inventions); create conditions for increasing the number of researchers in the region; to intensify the activities of projects aimed at ensuring the availability of additional education programs that reflect the most important trends in the technological development of Russia [2]. It should be noted that there is some kind of difference, on the one hand, in the constantly increasing requirements for the expansion of activities in the scientific field, in the scientific and technical creativity of youth communities, young scientists, qualified specialists, scientific and pedagogical workers, and on the other hand, in a real situation in the considered environment.
