Innovative development of high tech industrial complexes at the meso-level

Abstract

The issue of developing meso-level innovative ecosystems is so urgent due to the tasks of creating an autonomous independent economic system in the country, working out its own technologies, establishing technological, scientific and industrial independence. The urgency is also confirmed by the results of the analysis of characteristics and indicators of innovative activity of high tech companies. This background as well as evaluation of effectiveness of the government support of innovation, systematization of national and foreign studies devoted to the role of mesoeconomics in economic and technological growth of the regions and the entire state allow to justify the significance of meso-level development of high tech industrial complexes. The author suggests concentrating the efforts and tools of innovation, industrial and regional policies on the regional centres of development whose activities are aimed at maintaining the multiplicative effect of technological, information, social, infrastructural interconnection of the businesses, organizations, authorities and society. On the example of the Novgorod region, the author studies the components of high tech industrial complexes at the meso-level (object-, process-, system-, and project-related), characterizes the mechanism of development of industrial complexes of high tech sector at the meso-level and schematically shows how creation and development of the complex influences the growth of the indicators of innovative development of the region.
