Анотація

Abstract. The signing of the Association Agreement in 2014 provides for the development of innovative cooperation between Ukraine and the European Union (EU), so it is advisable to analyze and study the development of innovative activity in Ukraine since the signing, assess the effectiveness of this agreement, identify the weaknesses and strengths of Ukraine as an innovator in this aspect and provide appropriate recommendations. Theoretical framework. Theoretical framework of the study is based on the analysis of the works of scholars and legislative potential. The works prove the connection between innovative development and the association process with the EU. An analysis of the Database with international ratings, such as the Global Innovation Index, the Bloomberg Innovation Index, the Global Competitiveness Index and the EU Innovation Scoreboard, is carried out. The object of research is the innovative development of the country and, accordingly, the current state of Ukraine's innovative development in the context of the implementation of the Association Agreement with the EU. The purpose of the study is to determine the level of innovative development in Ukraine, to identify the main advantages and disadvantages and to provide relevant recommendations for improving the conditions for innovative development in the country within the framework of the Association Agreement. Scientific novelty. The results of the study are aimed at improving the mechanisms for innovation implementation based on a thorough analysis of the dynamics of indicators characterizing the level of innovative development in the country since the signing of the Agreement and provide an opportunity to systematically build a program for further development and show the prospects for innovation implementation. Conclusions. In the context of modern challenges, imperfect innovation policy, legislative framework and especially threats to the sovereignty of Ukraine, we have a low level of development of institutes, research institutions, clusters and infrastructure, and no mechanisms for protecting copyright, intellectual property and investors. In order to solve the existing problems in the field of innovative development in the country, the main tasks of the state innovation policy of Ukraine should be the creation of effective government institutions, transparent tax system and mechanisms for protecting foreign investors, copyright and intellectual property, the increase in funding for research and development, the creation of technology transfer centers based on UN standards and full use of the advantages and opportunities of the Association Agreement with the EU. Based on the analysis of the dynamics of indicators of the level of innovative development in Ukraine, the article identifies weaknesses that impede the realization of Ukraine's innovative potential. Despite the current EU-Ukraine Agreement, which should stimulate the development of technologies in Ukraine, the level of innovative development in the country is still low and lags far behind the level of EU countries. Thus, Ukraine does not fully enjoy the benefits of the Association Agreement, and the recommendations for increasing the level of innovative development in Ukraine based on European experience should contribute to the development of a strategy for creating and implementing innovations, and to finding ways to increase the competitiveness of the Ukrainian economy by realizing its innovative potential.
