Crosscutting digital technologies and Russian development institutes

Abstract

In the article the authors consider the reasons for the emergence of such phenomenon as ‘digital economy' and describe the features of its study and application in modern Russia, when it is imperative for the country to take a leading position in the global economy, to achieve accelerated rates of economic development, to increase productivity, to form new industries to achieve sustainable growth. The relevance of the work is due to the fact that the program ‘Digital economy', approved by the government of the Russian Federation on July 28, 2017 goes to a new stage of its implementation, when it should become the most important engine of innovation, competitiveness and economic recovery. Special attention is paid to the issues of strengthening the role of the state and improving its policy in the field of regulation of innovation processes at the national level and further participation in the formation of the national innovation system. The issues arising during the creation of the ‘innovative elevator' and the prospects for its subsequent development are explored. The necessity of taking priority measures in the field of state regulation of the national innovation system is emphasized. The problems accumulated in the Development Institutions lead to a decrease in the efficiency of the system as a whole. In the short term, one of the main tasks is the implementation of measures to establish the work of the system itself. It is necessary to eliminate the disproportion that has arisen in the system of costs aimed at the development of the national innovation system.
