Abstract
This article is dedicated to the problems and processes of the activation of scientific and technological progress in the context of contemporary challenges of the creation of a knowledge-based society and knowledge economy. The main focus here is on activating innovations, scientific and technological progress and creating various preconditions for the development of a knowledge-based society and knowledge economy.The contemporary processes and phenomena of innovations of scientific and technological progress and of its activation are analyzed in a complex manner; the needs for the purposeful activation and acceleration of scientific and technological progress, in particular in response to the aspirations of the knowledge-based society and the creation of a knowledge economy, are investigated in the presented material.The role and importance of innovation activities and the acceleration of scientific and technological advance in the context of the creation of a knowledge-based society and a knowledge economy are revealed and highlighted. New ideas of the search and use of synergetic effects, as well as a new theoretical approach based on the so-called universal principle of the creation of a “new quality,” are described.The results of the presented research can be used for preparing practical recommendations and methodologies that could be applied in the creation and implementation of the managerial and economic instruments and support systems aimed at the purpose of activating the processes of innovations and scientific and technological progress. These recommendations and methodolies could also be utilized in the development of international relations in the context of what is required in the creation of a knowledge-based society and knowledge economy.It is shown that the problems and processes of scientific and technological progress can be appreciated as an extremely important and viable field of scientific research on the creation and development of a knowledge economy.
 Keywords: knowledge economy, scientific and technological progress, innovation, synergy, networking
Highlights
The knowledge economy and the processes of its creation are understood and appreciated in the recent time as a very promising area in the modern science of economics
The trends and directions of the research that expresses the priorities of scientific and technological progress and orientations for accelerating technological advancement, should be defined and described as extremely important and significant because the progress of science and technology is gaining an ever-increasing role in the life of contemporary society: the scientific and technological progress and its activation is a key factor for modernizing the contemporary society and increasing the efficiency and growth of the economy
The main problem that is being investigated in the material of this publication is that the main theoretical approaches existing in modern science that are used for the development of a knowledge-based society and knowledge economy, as well as those utilized in knowledge economics, are not sufficiently adequate for the contemporary needs and challenges of scientific and technological progress
Summary
The knowledge economy and the processes of its creation are understood and appreciated in the recent time as a very promising area in the modern science of economics. The various changes and development processes, oriented toward an essential and qualitative technical, technological and organizational improvement in various systems, sectors and fields, should be defined as the main factors and characteristics of the dynamics in contemporary social and economic life These ideas and priorities reflect the role of scientific research on the processes of scientific and technological progress and its activation and acceleration in the general context of activities in the field of academic studies and scientific research on knowledge economics. Taking into account the contemporary challenges of globalization, European integration, the development of a knowledge-based society and knowledge economy, the emphasis on scientific and technological progress should be placed in new ways of changes and development, with the priority being given to innovations and their spreading. The solution of the problems associated with the search for synergy and synergetic effects, their identification and implementation can be based on modern and prospective ideas and concepts, focused on and oriented toward the scientific and technological progress and its initiation, activation and acceleration: these ideas and concepts could be described more in detail
