Foreign markets remain a priority in export-import activities, especially in the context of a limited activity of the latter. Achieving the indicators of profitability and competitiveness affects the state of export-import activities. The aim of the article is to present the theoretical principles and provide practical recommendations for finding incentives for the transformation of innovative development in conditions of limited activity – taking into account the experience of the EU, research of scholars, legislative norms in the field of economics; substantiation of the feasibility of their implementation during martial law and in post-war conditions with limited activities.

It is defined that in Ukraine the State, in comparison with the EU countries, is not an active participant in the innovation and investment process, the indicators of its participation in expenditures on innovation and public investment in relation to GDP are much lower than in the EU. The current approaches of the EU to funding expenditures on innovations, the development of various platforms, the search for mechanisms for intensifying innovation activity, in particular through startups, are considered.
