Potential of innovative modernization of regions of Kazakhstan: initial level and problems

Dynamic development of the innovative sphere – one of main composed innovative economy. Such hi-tech economy assumes existence of effective innovative system and creation of institutes of support of innovative process. According to the UN, today Kazakhstan isn't even included into the twenty of the hi-tech nations of the world. The first ten the states with innovative economy includes Finland, the USA, Sweden, Japan, South Korea, the Netherlands, Great Britain, Canada, Australia and Singapore. Further China and India follow [1].

            The innovative way of development is brought to the level of a state policy not incidentally as it is the long and expensive process surpassing transition in scales and complexity from command to market economy which lasts more than two decades and actually is completely not complete.

For the last decades it was developed and the set of the documents fixing an innovative way of development is accepted. In the republic the special structures which are carrying out financing of innovative projects at the expense of state budgetary funds were created. The first steps are taken on active state support of venture business. The created national innovative fund includes in the tasks of institutsialny support of innovative process also creation of venture funds. For expansion of activity of the small innovative enterprises in Kazakhstan such forms as science and technology parks are used. In general the Kazakhstan economy moves to new economy. Problems of effective use of scientific and technical potential have strategic scales. Innovative processes in Kazakhstan are not so much market mechanisms, how many a purposeful state policy; the state can have decisive impact on formation of the national system of institutes adequate to requirements of creation of new economy [2].

     Proceeding from it, the innovative way of development of economy is, in fact, new strategy of economic growth to which solution of tasks further efforts of the state go:

     First, on development of innovative clusters.

     Secondly, on development of the innovative environment, that is transformation of innovations into national idea of all society.

     Thirdly, on increase of efficiency of innovative infrastructure.

     Fourthly, on creation of essentially new system of commercialization of scientific and technological development.

     Fifthly, on business coverage by innovative grants.

In the modern world when transition of the world economy to priorities of the advanced technological ways aggravates competitive fight, the increasing value for the countries gets creation of dynamically developing innovative economy.

Today there is the following task - to work for increase of productivity of the industry of Kazakhstan. The head of state set the task to provide continuous updating of technical and technological base of production, development and release of new competitive production, effective penetration to the world markets of goods and services.

Efforts of the state innovative policy are aimed, first, at the development of innovative clusters. Secondly, on formation of the innovative environment, i.e. transformation of innovations into national idea of all Kazakhstan society. Thirdly, on increase of efficiency of innovative infrastructure. Fourthly, on creation of system of commercialization of scientific and technological development, essentially new to Kazakhstan. And fifthly, on coverage of our business by innovative grants. On these directions will further efforts of innovative policy are accented.

According to an order of the Head of state next year the Plan of innovative development till 2030 will be created. The main directions of development of innovations will be provided in it, the principle of interaction of the state and business in creation of innovative economy is formulated. The uniform operator on technological development who will be responsible for coordination of efforts of the state on development of innovations will be created. For the first time all strategy of technological development of national holdings and national companies will be coordinated with the Ministry of the industry and new technologies.

The state carries out innovative regulation by carrying out motivational policy which contents includes support of all stages of innovative process: basic researches, research and development, release of skilled production, the organization of mass production, advance and realization in the market.

      Today Kazakhstan needs to look for the new directions of economic development. For increase of competitiveness of the country in the world market it is necessary to develop actively high-tech industries and to build effective national innovative system. Without it the innovative economy is simply impossible [3].

In the new conditions which developed under the influence of global economic processes and the accruing global challenges, the new regional policy, has to is under construction on the following principles (see slayd11).

First, transfer of accent from the state, gratuitous subsidies for support of the decentralized initiatives at the level of local authorities and self-government. Such policy of justified and yielded positive result, for example, in Italy, China.

Secondly, stimulation and support of growth in the poorest regions that found reflection in active regional policy of Brazil which had effect in rather poor northeast regions of the country.

Thirdly, application of the integrated approach providing use of competitive advantages of the region and country and assistance to development regional "growth points". At such approach the greatest attention is paid to investments into innovations and the scientific and technical sphere, into the human capital as such investments give the greatest return.

Fourthly, now in the conditions of globalization of world economy rather broad approach to formation of structure of productive forces where, along with traditional elements, the geographical position, such as information, institutional, organizational, gained distribution.

The listed approaches to implementation of regional policy are directed on structural and innovative and technological modernization of economy of regions, sustained economic growth, creation of conditions for alignment of social and economic development and ensuring ecological safety.

The main tasks of new regional policy have to become:

- strengthening of integrity of economic space on the basis of an intensification of interregional cooperation and effective cooperation with the adjacent countries and their regional groups;

- ensuring sustained economic growth in regions on the basis of effective use of their human, natural and resource, technological potentials, competitive advantages and opportunities of interregional and international cooperation;

- Rapprochement of regions on the level of economic and social development, mainly by stimulation of economic capacity of the lagged behind regions.
