MECHANISMS FOR MONITORING AND EVALUATING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF STATE INNOVATION POLICY

Abstract

The article is devoted to the study of mechanisms for monitoring and evaluating the effectiveness of state innovation policy in the context of modern challenges in the development of national innovation systems. The relevance of the topic is due to the need to form effective tools for tracking the effectiveness of state innovation initiatives in conditions of limited resources and growing competition in global technology markets. The purpose of the work is to analyze existing approaches to monitoring innovation policy in Ukraine and to substantiate areas for improving the evaluation system based on European experience, in particular, the practices of the Republic of Poland. The study considers the main indicators and indicators used to measure the effectiveness of innovation activity, analyzes the institutional architecture of the monitoring system, and identifies key problems of a methodological and organizational nature. The results of the study indicate the need to harmonize the national monitoring system with European standards, introduce a unified methodology for collecting and processing statistical data, and strengthen coordination between responsible state authorities. Conceptual principles for improving monitoring mechanisms are proposed, taking into account the specifics of the functioning of the national innovation system and real opportunities for obtaining reliable information about the state of innovation processes in the economy.
