Improving the infrastructure for the transfer of innovations in the agribusiness

Abstract

According to the international rating of the environment innovativeness, Russia occupies positions at the end of the first third of the rating and cannot significantly improve its level. At the same time, the stimulation of innovation activity is a necessary instrument of the government to ensure the global competitiveness of the national economy. A number of national projects and programs are being implemented in Russia, which are focused on stimulating innovative and entrepreneurial initiatives, as well as transferring scientific developments to production. The relevance of the study is due to the transformation of methods and forms of knowledge and technology transfer, as well as the development of infrastructure that contributes to the activation of innovative activity in certain sectors of the Russian economy. The main indicators of innovative activity in the agribusiness and the sources of its financing have been studied. Insignificant budget financing, as well as the participation of venture funds and support funds have been revealed. The analysis of state support for the transfer of innovations in the agribusiness at the federal level has been performed. The infrastructure of the state support through a number of Russian departments has been studied. The proposals have been developed for their involvement in the interests of stimulating the transfer of scientific developments in the Russian agribusiness. The study is promising for continuation due to dynamic changes both in the field of innovation transfer support, and the rapid development of support infrastructure.
