The development of innovative technologies plays a key role in increasing national competitiveness in the global markets. Sluggish uptake of innovations hinders the emergence of technological production locally and creates barriers to the emergence of the digital economy. The state and its institutions along with a high-tech innovative business play a decisive role in the process of shaping the innovative economy and securing the position of the economy in the global markets. What are the priority areas of national innovation policy and what instruments of state support for innovation and high-tech production should be employed? What tools of state support of innovations and high-tech industries are interesting and necessary for business? How can factors constraining the development of the innovative economy be eliminated? What opportunities for expanded international cooperation might lead to the formation of new technology markets, and how is global competition for technology, talent, and capital shaping demand for state support and funding instruments for innovative initiatives?
