Priorities of technological development of raw material region

Abstract

The problems of technological development of the region’s industries seem relevant in connection with the need to ensure the competitiveness of their products in both local and international markets. The high-tech sector, as well as the sector of the “knowledge economy” are, in addition, the locomotives of the technological development of basic and infrastructure sectors, therefore, special attention is paid to the improvement of scientific research processes. The technological development of industries and the region as a whole is considered in the framework of a multisectoral model, which allows reflecting all the relationships and interactions arising under the influence of “global challenges”. The priority areas for the development of the high-tech sector were structured using the “smart specialization” model, which allows us to further highlight the technological and market opportunities for enhancing regional competitive advantages. Strategic positioning is presented in two sectors of the economy: basic and infrastructure; high-tech and “knowledge economy”. The capabilities of the strategies are aimed at creating competitiveness in local, regional and national markets. The concept of “smart specialization” combines strategies based on the creation of both our own technologies and those borrowed and adapted to our conditions. The map of technology positioning in the sphere of strategic alternatives defines the potential circle of participants in cluster systems for joint interaction, forming the scientific and innovative potential of the region.
