Abstract

The article analyzes the development of network interaction in the EU countries, the Russian Federation and the Republic of Belarus. Based on the statistical data of the European Innovation Scoreboard, the trends of innovative development of small and medium-sized enterprises in the EU countries are revealed. Trends in the development of joint innovation activity in the Russian Federation and the Republic of Belarus are revealed. The foreign experience of the development of innovation cooperation was studied and the features of the implementation of joint innovation projects were noted.

Based on the results of a statistical study based on the values of the indicators of the effectiveness of innovation activity and the average growth rates of profitability of sales in the regions of the Republic of Belarus with different levels of development of cluster structures, the hypothesis about the positive impact of the development of networking on the indicators of the effectiveness of innovation activity of industrial enterprises was tested. The dynamics of innovative development of Belarusian small and medium-sized enterprises has been studied. The key problems of the development of cluster-network structures in the Republic of Belarus are identified.

The features of the development of network interaction in the conditions of digitalization and the role of digital innovation platforms in improving the efficiency of interaction between business and science are considered. Examples of the functioning of digital innovation platforms in Finland and the Russian Federation are given.
