Abstract

External military aggression has become a significant negative factor influencing on the state of Ukraine’s innovation-technological potential, as a result of which the state lost part of production-technological infrastructure and research potential, it was weakened the investment attractiveness of the economy and intensified the processes of intellectual emigration. The combination of systemic problems and the destructive effect of hybrid aggression caused the deterioration of the state of Ukraine’s innovation security in 2005–2015, estimated using the method of the main components. In 2005–2015 the integral value of Ukraine’s innovation security decreased from 0.166 to 0.127. In conditions of external aggression, the main reasons that hinder the effective use of domestic innovation potential and the development of innovations as a factor of providing Ukraine’s innovative security are the following: the inconsistency of the state policy of stimulating the development of innovation activity, the lack of funding of science is reinforced by the irrational distribution of budget support for scientific works, the low level of diversification of markets and innovation cooperation, the slowness of the implementation of international standards of production quality at domestic enterprises. At the same time, the hybrid conflict with the Russian Federation forced Ukraine to rethink old and identify new strategic priorities for socio-economic development, which should be based on the effective implementation of the strategy of innovation development as an instrument for combating hybrid threats. The purpose of the article is to substantiate the innovative factors of strengthening the competitiveness of the national economy in a hybrid war. Counteraction of the consequences of hybrid aggression in the innovation-technological sphere should be based on the activation of innovation activity of business entities, expansion of the directions of international scientific-technological and industrial cooperation, reduction of economic dependence of the national economy on the Russian market, creation of an effective system of commercialization of intellectual property objects, improvement business climate and increase of investment attractiveness of innovation sphere.
