TECHNOPARKS OF RUSSIA: FEATURES OF DEVELOPMENT, TERRITORIAL DIFFERENTIATION AND EFFICIENCY

Abstract

Purpose. The purpose of the study is to identify and study the spatiotemporal patterns of the formation and development of an important component of the production and technological innovation infrastructure, i.e. technoparks. Methodology. The paper presents a comparative analysis of the features of the formation and development of domestic and foreign technoparks based on the use of GIS-technologies, rating assessments, analysis of territorial differentiation and efficiency of functioning of Russian technoparks. The study was conducted at two territorial levels: regional (subjects of the Russian Federation) and local (using the example of a regional technopark in the field of high technologies), which allowed each of them to solve a set of tasks in accordance with the purpose of the study. Results. The dynamics of the development of technology parks in Russia since 1990, their functions, specialization and efficiency of functioning are revealed. A conclusion is made that the volume of production of innovative goods, works, and services depends on the level of the development of technopark structures in the regions of Russia. Theoretical and Practical implications. The paper substantiates the further development of regional innovation systems based on the foundation of technoparks in the field of high technologies by developing an effective marketing strategy for the commercialization of innovations and restructuring the modern education system in accordance with the needs of the country’s innovative development.
