METHODOLOGICAL APPROACHES TO ASSESSMENT OF THE TECHNOLOGY AND INNOVATION LEVEL OF THE INDUSTRY, TAKING INTO ACCOUNT THE MODERN TRENDS OF ITS DEVELOPMENT

Abstract

The article reveals the stages of the formation of sectoral approach to assessing the level of industrial technology in accordance with international practice. The differences between the categories «technology intensity» and «innovativeness» are determined in accordance with the recommendations of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development and regulatory documents of the Republic of Belarus. A comparative assessment is carried out and a much lower intensity of R&D in the manufacturing industry of our country is shown in comparison with international data, which necessitates the intensification of scientific research in the framework of the innovation process. Identified promising types of economic activities that produce products new to the domestic and world markets. Innovative projects for the creation of new industries based on technologies of the V and VI techno-logical modes are presented. The directions and instruments of state innovation policy for 2021–2025 in the field of creating new and accelerating the development of existing high-tech sectors of the economy are proposed.
