Business-catalysts as drivers of regional innovation systems

Abstract

The task of building of an innovative economy requires mechanisms and institutions that will ensure the continuity of innovative process and contribute to the successful commercialization of innovations. Foreign experience of recent years has shown the importance of the accelerating mechanism of innovative project support on the principles of which the activity of the regional business-catalyst is built. The prospects for regional business-catalysts are seen in the development of their network interaction as an important element of an open business entrepreneurial culture and the expansion of partnership relations in the region with the industrial and scientific community.
