Аннотация: The economic development of the Russian Federation as a whole, as well as individual economic elements, is determined by many aspects. In today's realities, innovative development paradigms come to the fore. This direction implies an economy based on scientific experience embodied in advanced technologies, which allows achieving a new, higher-quality level of economic development. It is the regional authorities, focusing primarily on the specifics of the economic activity of their region, taking into account the level of innovative activity of companies, that are able to form an effective tool for managing innovation processes. One of the key problems of modern regional management is the formation of an innovative environment aimed at creating favorable conditions for ensuring positive dynamics of the region's innovative activity as a significant factor in increasing its competitive advantage and, as a consequence, economic development.
