Development of innovative activity in the Russian Federation: current state and problems

Introduction. The Russian Federation, along with other economically developed countries, has all the necessary components of the IT system. They are conducting scientific research, constantly improving the qualifications and quality of personnel training, making adjustments to the concepts of the processes of acquiring and protecting intellectual property, regular monitoring of commodity and financial markets, maintaining the business climate, carrying out work in research and development centers, their financing and commercialization. However, all of the above elements and characteristics of the innovation sector do not solve the problems associated with its efficiency, as well as the development and influence of the IT system on economic growth. That is why the study of the innovation sector of the Russian Federation and its characteristics is a relevant topic today.

Goal. Assessing the current state of the innovation sector in Russia is the purpose of the study.

Materials and methods. The study analyzes the dynamics of the position of the Russian Federation in the Global Innovation Index including its elements. A comparative economic analysis of key indicators of innovation activity in industrial production, as well as in the service sector, was carried out.

Results and discussion. The volumes of internal expenditures of the Russian Federation aimed at research are shown depending on the source of funding.

Conclusion. A set of measures has been developed to promote the development of the innovation sector of the Russian Federation through financing innovative companies, taking into account improving the quality of the human resources used. After all, a necessary condition for the formation of growth in innovative activity is the centralization of economic, legal, financial and organizational regulation, which will ensure stability in the functioning of the IT sector.
