Scientific and technological development: Limitations and opportunities

Abstract

This paper considers the role of innovations and technologies in modern social and economic development. There is a discrepancy between the declarative goals contained in government documents on the role of science, technology, and the actual results achieved. It has been shown that in the tough external environment for Russia there is no alternative to the development and creation of domestic competitive technologies. In order to make full use of the scientific and technological potential that has been preserved in the country, it is first of all necessary to restore the full innovative cycle and stimulate the interest of Russian companies in national innovative solutions and competitive technologies. The responsible role of the state in reforming the domestic scientific sector, as well as in the harmonization of relations between the state, business, scientific community, and society as a whole has been emphasized.
