THE CURRENT STATE OF INNOVATION AND TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER IN UKRAINE

Abstract

Introduction. The implementation of modern tools for the transfer of innovative technologies from research centers to the business environment is one of the main criteria for Ukraine to enter the globalization space of technologically advanced countries. In view of the above, the analysis of the current state of innovation and technology transfer in Ukraine in order to form development priorities with a focus on advanced global models becomes relevant.Research hypothesis. It is assumed that the implementation of modern tools for the transfer of innovative technologies from research centers to the business environment will be the basis for the creation of a new type of university, the effectiveness of which will be measured by the introduction of enterprises in various fields of innovation and projects.The purpose of the article is to analyze the current state of innovation and technology transfer in Ukraine.Research methods: statistical analysis and logical generalization – to study trends in the field of technology transfer in Ukraine.Results: the current state of innovation and technology transfer in Ukraine is analyzed. Ukraine's place in the global innovation index is assessed according to the main indicators. Factors of efficiency of commercialization of university inventions are allocated. The functioning of effective technology transfer centers on the example of Spain is considered.Conclusions: technology transfer is a promising mechanism for economic stabilization of a country. In Ukraine, due to weak interaction between science and business, technology transfer is not developed at the proper level. To overcome such negative trends, it is necessary to use institutional factors – improving the legal framework in the field of technology transfer and developing public policy on the commercialization of intellectual property, intensifying the development of technology market infrastructure and involving enterprises in working with intellectual property.
