Analysis of the Main Factors of Innovative Development of the Arctic Regions of Russia

Abstract

The article analyzes the main factors affecting innovative development of the Arctic regions. It is shown that the Arctic regions have rather stable positions in terms of innovation activity, the number of organizations and the number of highly qualified scientific personnel. However, it lags significantly behind federal indicators in terms of effectiveness of innovation, creation and implementation of advanced production technologies and inventive activity. The available resources are not used to increase the effectiveness of scientific, technological and innovative development of the Arctic, which has almost no effect on the main socio-economic indicators of the region.
