Kramarenko A. Discourse of global innovation networks development in international integration associations.

The thesis is devoted to the research of the innovative component of the concept of global networks in general and in regional innovation systems and networks within international integration associations such as firstly the study of the index model of determining the innovation potential of international integration associations countries and the study of regression model of identifying factors influencing the innovation potential of integration associations countries and others. A number of concepts and theories that constitute the theoretical and methodological basis for the study of the development of global innovation networks within international integration associations are analyzed and generalized. The appropriateness of using the network approach in understanding the concept of global innovation and the inclusion of innovation regions in global economic flows is substantiated. Measures to overcome the existing problems according to the results of the author's study of the international experiment of innovation regulation are proposed: introduction of special state networks for regulating innovation activities of a regional nature; сreation of technology parks and support for the development of research centers at university educational institutions, etc; support for small and medium-sized businesses in the field of innovation; creation of an extensive system of state institutions that conduct competitive programs and regulate grants. This will help at the state level to regulate the innovative development of the country and assist innovators in promoting their ideas in the Ukrainian market, which can lead to rapid innovative development of the country in the world. In terms of assessing Ukraine's innovation potential, it should be noted that the country is able to compete in international markets and is open to international cooperation while maintaining patents and know-how within the country.
