The state support of industrial and innovative activity in the Republic of Kazakhstan

In order to ensure sustainable development of Kazakhstan through the diversification and modernization of the economy, creating the conditions for production of competitive products and export growth, the Decree of the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan dated 17 May 2003, the Strategy of Industrial and Innovation Development of Kazakhstan for 2003-2015 was approved. Innovative activities in the Republic of Kazakhstan is regulated by the following regulations, providing legal support: The laws of the Republic of Kazakhstan “On Science”, “On Copyright and Related Rights”, “On state support of small business”, “Patent Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan”, “On technical regulation”, “On regulation of the trading activity”, “On investment funds”, “On Information”. Other documents: the rules of organization and implementation of the state scientific and technical expertise, the rules of formation and accreditation of specialized subjects of innovative activity.

Using the experience of many countries, Kazakhstan was determined the long-term vision and plan of action in the field of innovation. The next stage of Kazakhstan's innovation policy was reflected in the Concept of Innovative Development till 2020, adopted by presidential decree in June 2013 [1].

The purpose of the Concept is consonant with the Strategy “Kazakhstan 2050 - a new course of the established state” and is aimed at facilitating the entry of Kazakhstan into the 30 most competitive countries of the world through the development of new technologies and services that will ensure the transition from a commodity to an innovative type of economy.

Achieving of this goal is expected through tasks such as: to contribute to the generation of innovations in Kazakhstan; further development of leading innovation clusters; definition of scenarios for promising technological trends; providing strengthening regional innovation systems; the use of the country's raw potential to bring new technologies and the creation of high-tech industries.

The concept will be implemented in two phases; the expected result is reflected in the 21^st indicator. The concept of innovation development of Kazakhstan till 2020 provides a number of specific measures aimed at promoting innovation and the formation of an innovative environment.

In particular, the system will continue to work of improving the effectiveness of tools to support the innovation activity. The method of forming regional innovation systems will be developed, including both existing and new instruments of state support at the national and regional levels. Also, in each region of Kazakhstan, regional development institutions will be created to support innovation (innovation offices), including on the basis of technological parks.

One of the governing regulations of the innovations is the Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan “On state support of the industrial innovation”, which has been approved by January 9, 2012. The purpose of the state support of industrial innovation is to increase the competitiveness of the national economy by stimulating the development of priority sectors of the economy.

The main objectives of state support are the following: the creation of favorable conditions for the development of priority sectors of the economy; creating favorable conditions for modernization (technical upgrading) of existing production facilities in order to improve productivity; support the effective implementation of innovation and development of high-tech industries; the development of the research base in the priority sectors of the economy and its integration with the production process.

In accordance with this Law, innovation is the result of physical and (or) legal entities who have received: the practical implementation in the form of new or improved production facilities, technologies, goods, works and services; organizational solutions of technical, production, administrative and commercial character as well as other socially useful results, taking into account environmental safety in order to increase economic efficiency.

In accordance with the Law “On state support of the industrial innovation”, industrial and innovation infrastructure consists of the following elements: special economic zones; industrial zones; parks; joint-stock investment funds of risk investment; technology commercialization centers; industry design offices; international centers of technology transfer; innovation clusters.

Development of the data elements that make up the industrial and innovation infrastructure, improves the condition of industrial and innovative regions and the country as a whole.

According to the Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan “On state support of the industrial-innovative activity” National Agency for Technological Development is the sole operator of tools to support innovation. More than 3,000 innovative projects have been identified since the establishment of the National Agency for Technological Development, of which supported more than 535 [2].

During 2010-2015 years it was formed an effective innovation infrastructure, consisting of 8 industrial parks, 4 industrial design offices, 21 commercialization offices and 4 regional commercialization centers, 4 international centers of technology transfer. It was established system of innovation support tools, including project and venture financing, innovation grants, services of technological business incubation, commercialization offices services, industrial design offices, service centers of international technology transfer and innovation competitions.

In general, it should be noted, that the vector of innovation policy in Kazakhstan mainly focused on the goal of entering the 30 most competitive countries of the world.

It should also be noted, that today Kazakhstan needs to look for new areas of economic development. To improve the country's competitiveness in the global market need to actively develop high-tech industries and build an effective national innovation system. Without this innovation economy is simply impossible.

On the other hand, the state must develop and maintain a competitive environment that forces manufacturers to innovate. Because the competition is a natural economic mechanism as compelling and encouraging innovation in enterprises and, in general, in the country.
