Innovative Platforms of Russia – "Good and Various" (Part I) (Structural Analysis)

<p>The article considers formation and development of Russian innovation platforms (primarily techno parks), which are expected to become "growth points", able to provide a decisive impetus to the entire national economy, as the famous Silicon Valley did for the economy of the United States. The structure of Russian innovative platforms as at mid-2015, is analyzed on the basis of the Single Information and Analytical Portal of State Support for Innovation Development of Business and the International Association of Science Parks and Areas of Innovation (IASP). Analysis of the structure of domestic innovative platforms enables the following conclusions to be made: 1) modern Russia is dominated by "cheap" forms of organizing innovation (techno parks, the most mature form, constitute no more than 1/4 of all innovative platforms); 2) most innovative sites are at best in the deployment phase, and full innovative platforms make up no more than 20% of their total amount; 3) over the past 25 years in Russia, three waves can be traced to techno park speculative promotion, and over time an ever lesser role is being played by universities and research institutes, which were at the start of this movement, and an ever larger role is played by large state administrations; 4) there is a high concentration of innovative sites in four regions (Moscow and Moscow Region, Tatarstan, Sverdlovsk Region, and St. Petersburg and Leningrad Region; 5) the absolute leaders among organizers of innovative platforms are regional administrations.</p>
