Abstract

The problem of development of depressive regions is extremely urgent in modern conditions. It is explained by the fact that due to unfavorable development factors in these regions, it is most difficult to ensure economic and social growth, to carry out infrastructure development, to attract external financing and investments. Depressive regions tend to have a low level of competitiveness and a prolonged economic decline in industrial production, accompanied by an increase in unemployment. The development of such regions is impossible without external intervention. Specialists in the regional economy have described indicators of such regions. They are: the rate of change in industrial production, the level of unemployment, the size of the gross regional product per capita, the industrial output per capita. It is necessary to attract investment in the economy of depressed regions in order to bring their economies to the stage of sustainable growth. It is possible due to the development of the innovation sphere. A key element of the innovative sphere of any region is its innovative infrastructure. In this connection, the analysis of the state and the definition of promising areas for the development of the innovation infrastructure of the "depressed" regions is an urgent and significant scientific task. The article analyzes the existing state of the innovation infrastructure of ten constituent entities of the Russian Federation, which are considered to be "depressive". The authors use the method of understanding factual data, the index method, the method of comparisons and the method of expert evaluations. According to the obtained results, the authors have defined the most promising directions for the development of the innovation infrastructure for these regions.
