Kvak S. The economic mechanism for stimulating innovation activities of industrial enterprises in Ukraine.

The understanding of the essence of the innovative activity, innovative enterprise, and economic mechanism of their stimulation in industry is deepened, the normative and legal acts are systematized, and the information support of the economic mechanism for stimulating innovation activities (EMSIA) of industrial enterprises is improved.

The role of Ukraine in the system of international and national indicators of innovative activity is analysed, the sources of financing and types of innovative activity of industrial enterprises, directions of its stimulation are detected, the tendencies of the formation of the innovation infrastructure in Ukraine are revealed, and the preconditions of successful functioning of industrial clusters in Ukraine are defined. A scientific and methodological approach is developed, which ensures the formation of a matrix of strategies for the innovative development of enterprises by types of economic activity and is based on a diagnosis of their total potential and its implementation in the innovation sector. A cluster approach to improving the system of state and regional support for the development of Ukrainian industry is proposed. The idea of a cluster model is realized on the example of substantiation of the expediency and organizational scheme of the creation of the interregional industrial cluster “Nadbuzhzhia”. The paper proposes to choose the strategy of innovative development for industrial entities on the basis of indicators of their investment attractiveness and innovative potential.
