Improving the competitiveness of Russian industry in the production of measuring and analytical equipment

Abstract

The creation of a high-tech competitive industry in the production of measuring and analyticalequipment in Russia in a highly competitive environment is impossible without the development and implementation of innovative products. The vast majority of Russian enterprises invest their funds in the purchase of imported innovations instead of investing in creation of their own R and d/D (Research, Development and Engineering). Such path of development of Russian enterprises is seems / seems to be a dead end. One can observe a growing trend in the share of R and d/D expenditures on the global market. Nowadays the leading countries of the world industry such as the United States, China, Japan and Germany invest much bigger than over countries/invest in science more than over countries. Large-scale development and innovation implementation can be realised under creation of the system based on interconnected elements "industry-innovation-science-education". Expansion and intensification of fundamental and applied research, improvement quality of teaching mathematics, physics and engineering disciplines in higher and secondary educational institutions are seemed to be necessary/seem to lead to better results. Large industrial Russian companies, leaders in certain sectors of industry with a powerful modern production infrastructure and huge financial capacity should act as a driving motive of the mentioned system. The state should provide support by means of legislative activity aimed to create an industrial and innovation policy providing production of innovative items which will be able to compete in high-tech segments of the world market.
