EN

The article investigates the “systemic” dimension of the existing institutional‑legal and organizational peculiarities of the innovation policy in Ukraine, based on the IS approach, which is seen as one of the main guidelines for the innovation policy formation, and, in particular, underlies the Ukrainian framework as well. The authors found that state strategic documents do not sufficiently reflect the systemic character of the NIS, nor do they place linkages or firms at the core of the national innovation system. Areas are determined where the innovation policy cannot be realized completely because of the current organization of activities and powers of the central executive authorities in this field, specifically: the impact on business, the formation of infrastructure, and the development of linkages. European countries’ experience in the field of innovation policy implementation is explored, particularly, the creation and operating of the models of the national innovation agencies as well as the spectrum of their functions. Based on the European experience, it is proposed that a State Agency for Innovation and Development in Ukraine be created that will integrate the functions of regional project funding, provide advice, and realize the basic functions of the innovation intermediary.

W artykule dokonano analizy „systemowego” wymiaru istniejących instytucjonalno‑prawno‑organizacyjnych osobliwości polityki innowacyjnej na Ukrainie, w oparciu o podejście SI (SI – System Innowacji), które jest uważane za jedną z głównych wytycznych dla kształtowania polityki innowacyjnej, w tym w szczególności również na Ukrainie. Stwierdzono, że państwowe dokumenty strategiczne w niewystarczający sposób odzwierciedlają systemowy charakter NSI (NSI – Narodowy System Innowacji), ani też nie sytuują powiązań ani przedsiębiorstw w centrum narodowego systemu innowacji. Określono obszary, w których polityka innowacyjna nie może być w pełni realizowana ze względu na obecny sposób organizacji działań i uprawnienia centralnych organów wykonawczych w tej dziedzinie, a w szczególności na ich wpływ na biznes, tworzenie infrastruktury i rozwój powiązań. Przedmiotem analizy są doświadczenia krajów europejskich w zakresie wdrażania polityki innowacyjnej, w szczególności w zakresie tworzenia i funkcjonowania modeli krajowych agencji innowacji, a także spektrum ich funkcji. W oparciu o doświadczenia europejskie proponuje się utworzenie Państwowej Agencji ds. Innowacji i Rozwoju na Ukrainie, która będzie integrować funkcje finansowania projektów regionalnych, udzielać porad i realizować podstawowe funkcje instytucji wspomagającej innowacje.
