Assessing the conditions to implement innovative activity of technoparks in the field of high technologies

During the restructuring of national technological system, the development of innovations is of particular importance. In this regard, it is important to analyze how economic entities and innovative infrastructure cope with changing internal and external conditions, such as the need for import substitution of high-tech products and replenishment of specialists’ outflow from the information technology sector. The key element of the innovation infrastructure is scientific and industrial technology parks. The article examines the features of the Russian model of technoparks, as well as the factors of their success and lag. The purpose of the study is to identify the factors contributing to and hindering the innovation activity of technopark residents. Using statistical data analysis and spatial network analysis, the paper studies the structure and features of the activities of 12 participants in the state program «Creation of high-tech technoparks in the Russian Federation». The study examines such aspects of technoparks’ activity as the specifics of management companies functioning, ownership structure and geographical localization of resident enterprises, the level of integration of scientific and educational organizations. It determines the results of technoparks activity in the context of long-term effects for the innovation development at regional level. The findings indicate insufficient elaboration of approaches to support collaborative activities between residents, which is an important condition for effective innovation exchange. The results of the study can be used in the development and adjustment of government programs to support the innovation sector.
