PRECONDITIONS FOR DEVELOPMENT OF TECHNOLOGICAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP IN UKRAINE

Abstract

The article is analyzed the existing innovation potential of enterprises in Ukraine in the light of international ratings. It is shown that its level is quite sufficient for the development of technological entrepreneurship and the formation of entrepreneurial ecosystems. At the same time, in Ukraine there is no effective state policy that contributes to the formation of an innovative business infrastructure. Financial, tax, credit incentives for the development of innovation and technology transfer are not working. Mechanisms of protection of intellectual property are inefficient. The system of supporting venture financing is not developing; there are no incentives for attracting private business funds to carry out research and development. Certain structural elements of the innovation system exist, for example, technoparks, venture companies and others, but they are a set of rather heterogeneous elements and therefore generally do not play a significant role in the implementation of innovative projects. The main guidelines of the State and regional policy should be: improvement of legislation in the field of innovative entrepreneurship and mechanisms for its financing, encouraging the opening of small innovative enterprises in universities, the formation of new infrastructure components of the innovation system, in particular, services to promote innovative products to international markets; development of investment and management consulting institutes in the sphere of innovative entrepreneurship, stimulation of stable demand for high-tech products and on the innovative companies with all their developments and intellectual property.
