About the scientific potential of socio-economic development of the region
Abstract
The article is devoted to the study of the scientific potential of the region as a strategic factor in socio-economic development. The main approaches of domestic scientists to the interpretation of this economic category are identified and analyzed, which allowed formulating the author's definition of the scientific potential of the region as a complex dynamic system integrating the resource base, institutional structures and mechanisms of their interaction. This system functions to create, disseminate and practically implement innovative knowledge, contributing to the implementation of the strategic vision and the achievement of the strategic goals of regional development. The values of the indicators characterizing the state and dynamics of the development of the scientific sphere and scientific potential of one of the Russian regions – the Kirov region – are analyzed. The results of the analysis indicate a stable negative dynamic of the scientific potential of the region under study. Based on the SWOT analysis, strategic directions for strengthening and further developing the scientific potential of the Kirov region are determined, based on the principles of smart specialization, including the development of biotechnology, engineering developments and processing agricultural products. The empirical basis of the scientific work was made up of official statistical data of Rosstat for 2013–2023. The findings obtained in this study may have practical significance for government bodies, scientific and educational institutions, as well as business structures interested in developing the scientific potential of specific organizations and the entire region as a whole.
