Morhachov I. Improving infrastructure support for regional investment and innovation processes based on their assessment.

The essence and features of regional investment and innovation processes have been studied and the concept of their support has been formed. The essence, structure and conditions of infrastructural provision of regional investment and innovation processes have been conceptualized. Approaches to the regulation of regional invest-ment and innovation processes, their problems, factors and prospects for development have been substantiated. The terminological basis of infrastructural support of region-al investment and innovation processes has been developed. The structure of compo-nents of infrastructural provision of regional investment and innovation processes has been investigated. The essence, classification, functions and features of functioning of regional scientific and technical systems in infrastructural maintenance of regional investment and innovation processes have been specified. Theoretical and methodological principles of analysis and evaluation of region-al investment and innovation processes have been improved on the basis of forming a system of indicators for evaluating regional investment and innovation processes and developing approaches to the analysis of regional investment and innovation process-es. The tools for assessing regional investment and innovation processes based on the selection of indicators of investment capacity of the region have been developed. The directions of improving the provision of regional investment and innova-tion processes on the basis of high-tech self-employed population have been identi-fied. The approach to improving the infrastructure of regional investment and innova-tion processes based on the formation of tools for determining the threshold of expe-diency of financing regional innovation funds has been developed. Key words: investment and innovation processes, tools, infrastructure, concept, scientific and technical system, multiplicative tax effect, assessment, indicators, re-gion.
