Modeling the Assessment of Readiness of a Territorial Entity of the Russian Federation for Innovation Activities (on the Example of Primorsky Krai)

Abstract

This study is devoted to a certain aspect of the innovation activity of a territorial entity of the Russian Federation. The authors of this study consider the readiness of a territorial entity for innovation activities, namely such fundamental elements as executive authorities, universities and research organizations, venture financing institutions, anchor companies, and small innovative companies. The abovementioned elements present in the region show the existing potential of the innovation ecosystem, the interaction of participants of the relevant processes, and certain difficulties as well. The paper discusses the innovation hub definition from the point of view of an innovation ecosystem, which has a favorable environment for innovation activities. The theoretical part of the study allows to propose using a modern mathematical modeling means, including fuzzy sets and fuzzy logic theory, to assess the readiness of the Primorsky Krai for innovation activities.
