Research of the state of innovation processes in Ukraine

Abstract

Countries - world leaders have anticipatory economic development due to the ability of their national economies to effectively use innovations in the form of achievements of progress. It is the national innovation systems that make it possible to explain why some countries have achieved high results in the creation of innovations. In some countries of the world, the activity and efficiency of innovative activity in international practice is assessed by a number of indicators, the most comprehensive of which are the Global Competitiveness Index and the Global Innovation Index. The global competitiveness index means the rating of the countries of the world according to the indicator of economic competitiveness according to the version of the World Economic Forum (World Economic Forum). This is a synthetic indicator. The global competitiveness index assesses the country's ability to produce goods and services in conditions of free competition that meets the requirements of the world market, the implementation of which increases the welfare of the state and its individual citizens. Ukraine's position in the competitiveness rating for the three years of the study fluctuates between 76 and 84 places. Analyzing the data, the following conclusions can be drawn. Ukraine has significant problems with antimonopoly policy and taxation, which negatively affects the investment climate in the country. These issues must be addressed to attract more foreign investment and improve economic development. Ukraine has improved its positions in terms of labor market and higher education indicators. However, according to indicators characterizing the development of infrastructure, the macroeconomic environment and the development of the country's financial market, Ukraine lags far behind the leading countries of the world.
