Abstract

The increasing role of human capital, knowledge and high technology indicates the formation of a new stage of economic development – the knowledge economy, from which innovation becomes an integral part of business. However, in terms of innovation development, Russia lags behind the western countries several times. At the same time, the development of Russian regions is extremely uneven. First, it concerns mining regions. For analysis, a key mining cluster of Russian Federation was chosen – Kemerovo Region. The article assesses the innovative potential of the region, and identifies the most pressing problems that impede its integration into the knowledge economy. Solving existing problems should be carried out through a set of measures aimed at developing partnerships of government, mining science and mineral resources extracting business, creating conditions for attracting and retaining highly qualified specialists to the mining enterprises, creating an appropriate infrastructure, increasing the region’s investment attractiveness, developing interregional and international cooperation in the field of subsoil extracting management.

Highlights

There is an active phase of the formation of a new type of society – informative one, with its inherent economy – the economy of knowledge
It is necessary to trace how the region has developed in this area for a long time

Summary

Introduction

There is an active phase of the formation of a new type of society – informative one, with its inherent economy – the economy of knowledge. This stage is characterized by the fact that the basis of long-term economic growth here are mainly intense factors, provided by the active development of the most progressive achievements of science and technology. Innovation is one of the main products of this process, and innovative development is the basis for integration of mining regions into the new economy. © The Authors, published by EDP Sciences.
