TECHNOLOGICAL INNOVATIONS IN THE BIOECONOMY OF THE COUNTRY: TOOLS OF STATE REGULATION

Technological renewal of production, as a component of innovative development of the enterprise, bioeconomy and the economy of the country as a whole, can not be effectively carried out without proper state regulation that ensures the progress of production and is based on the impact of the state, through its respective institutions on this process. Therefore, it is important to determine the purpose, directions and forms of state regulation of innovation activities, including technological renovation of production.

The aim of the research is to study the directions and forms of state regulation of innovative technological processes in bioeconomy and the country's economy.

In the course of the research, the following methods were used: analysis (study of normative documents, allocation of the research object to components for the purpose of detailed study), synthesis (consideration of the components of the research object in aggregate), abstract-logical (generalization of the research results and formulation of conclusions) which allowed to determine and reveal the directions of state regulation of innovative technological processes.

The article reveals the goals and forms of state regulation of innovation activities, including technological renewal of production. The directions of state regulation of innovative technological processes in the country's bioeconomy have been singled out and con-sidered on the basis of a thorough analysis of their legislative support.

It has been established that state regulation in the sphere of innovative activity, in particular, technological renewal of production is carried out in the following areas: normative and legal regulation of technological renewal of production; management, control over innovation, including technological activities; definition of priority directions of innovative activity; state support of entrepreneurial activity related to innovations and technological innovations; state protection of innovative technological activities; formation of inter-national cooperation in the field of innovation.

State regulation of technological renewal of production is carried out systematically in different directions. The order of such regulation is fixed by a number of normative legislative documents. It has been established that state regulation of technological renewal of production is a set of state measures aimed at providing the necessary conditions for the implementation of this process and is represented by a set of tools in the form of relevant regulatory documents that establish requirements for it.

Keywords: state regulation, innovation activity, technological renewal, legislative support, economy, technology.

ECONOMIC SPACE AS TERRITORIAL ORGANIZATION OF THE SOCIETY (THEORETICAL-METHODOLOGICAL ASPECT)

The article is devoted to the essence of the economic space (ES) and the territorial organization of society (TOS) as a whole. The problem of forming a single ES in the context of globalization and integration processes calls for a search for new approaches in state regional policy and the territorial organization of production and society. The provision of dynamic and balanced development of the national economy, the level and quality of life of each member of society, the location of economic and infrastructure facilities, the size of payment for land and the state of permissible environmental capacity depends on this. Ukraine currently needs to enhance the role of regional and local government and the formation of territorial-public systems (TPS).

The correlation of the categories "territory" and "space" in geography, sociology and economics is considered. The role and importance of the geographical position in the vital activity of the population, in the formation of territorial production complexes (TPC) and in the functioning of the territorial social and economic system (TSES) are analyzed. A brief analysis of the contribution of domestic and foreign researchers in the field of economics to solving these problems of the regional economy is made. Their signs and features of ES have been determined. Comparison of the categories "site function" and "territory quality" is carried out.

The author supports the opinion of scientists who declare that at present the territory (ie the earth) as a spatial resource is more important than natural-material resources, since under modern technologies the latter can be replaced. And the territory is a non-renewable resource; it cannot be replaced by anything. It serves as a basis for social and economic development, as an operational basis for the vital activity of the population, as well as a reservoir of natural re-sources that determine the degree of economic wealth and the "power field" that affects the natural environment.

The role and importance of management in the context of the formation of a unified territorial public system (TPS), as well as the influence of the TOS on the situation in the region, are justified. It was identified that the TOS process should be regulated by the relevant government bodies at all levels (local, regional, state), an appropriate policy should be developed to ensure not only economic growth, its efficiency and social well-being, but also the preservation of the integrity of the EP and the environmentally clean natural environment.

We hope that the article will serve as a basis for further research of the economic space as a territorial organization of society and its transformation in the context of globalization and integration processes.

Keywords: Territory, space, economic space, territorial socio-economic system, region, territorial organization of the society, geographical location, globalization, integration, territorial-social system.

PECULIARITIES OF REALIZATION FOR DE-VELOPMENTS OF INNOVATIVE POTENTIAL IN UKRAINE

In modern conditions for the orientation of the agricultural sector of Ukraine on increasing of competitiveness the assessment and identifying of ways of increasing the innovative potential of agriculture gets important value, because this is impossible without the implementation of progressive structural changes in the country, a significant upgrading of the agricultural sector and in general ensuring of its sustainable socio-economic development.

In modern conditions of development of agrarian economy the most problematic issue is the practical application of new scientific knowledge, transfer of results of scientific research and developments and their implementation into production process.

The purpose of the paper is to define the features of the realization of innovation potential for developments in Ukraine.

Ukraine has paid little attention for stimulating of demand for innovation and innovation market development; Ukrainian technologies are not protected by corresponding international regulations that not allow to the 99% of transfer of domestic technology. In Ukraine the build a network of innovative structures is still at an early stage.

Overcoming of low level of commercialization of scientific research, an integration of science and production may be achieved only through the use of market mechanisms that connect scientific products manufacturers and consumers. According to international experience, today many countries use with market economy use such organizational forms as agrarian technological parks, technopolises and others.

Technology parks as forms of integration of science and industry are classified as territorial scientific and industrial complexes and based on the interaction of scientific institutions, universities and industrial enterprises.

Important value in the formation of industrial parks should help that local and central governments provide them in the form of free financing, preferential allotment of land, tax incentives.

A special role in the system of innovations implementation play a new business structures that recently appeared in the market of Ukraine (large companies “Rise”, “Gabin”, “Aridon” and others). This is confirmed through learning of experience for effective providers of innovation developments – new commercial structures that operate on the principles of agricultural holdings, which in today's conditions quickly mastering the innovation market and also through experience of functioning for institutions that have managed to adapt to market conditions.

The decisive and important aspect of the innovation process is the obtaining of material gain from the sale of scientific development, business profits, royalties. Royalty is closing and self reproduction factor in the system of the innovation process that provides opportunities for scientists to earn extra budgetary funds that can be used for further development of science, strengthening the material-technical base and for efficient material incentives of scientists.
