Innovative development of the economy requires new approaches and methods for realization of the developed programs of socio-economic development of territories [1, p. 61]. Particularly characteristic of this trend is evident at the regional level. The more that innovative development is always closely related to attraction of investments as one of the most important resources [2, p. 385]. From this point of view the most interesting experience of the Kaluga region. 

Its present name is the most attractive region for investment. More than 70 foreign and Russian investors implementing their projects. Five of the Kaluga companies have become residents of the innovation center "SKOLKOVO" and user can also do all tax regimes for the development of their innovative projects [3, p. 336].

The prerequisites for innovation development in the region, existed almost ten years ago. By this time were established the technology transfer centre, business incubators, centers of entrepreneurship. But well-organized coordination in the work of these "points of growth" was not. Which led to the creation in 2010 of the Agency of innovation development of the Kaluga region (AIRCO), which took over these functional duties [4, p. 294].

The first task of AIRCO was to identify unique ideas and developments and bringing them to market. The second is the formation and development of Kaluga region cluster policy.
         A cluster is a concentration of enterprises of one branch, which, on the one hand, compete with each other, but at the same time together for important common tasks such as staffing that have a positive synergistic effect for all. Therefore, the clustered nature of the economy is a necessary condition for the success of innovative development of any territory [5, p. 350].

Another key challenge was the transition from an industrial economy to innovation, more productive. Average annual output per worker in a traditional industrial company is 1-3 million rubles, and appear high-tech enterprise with figures 12-17 and more than million. Therefore, the main role of AIRCO and the formation of new sources of economic growth through the development of small and medium enterprises in innovation clusters.

Today there are four clusters: automotive, logistics, pharmaceutical and information and communication technologies. On the agenda – establishment of cluster conservation. Its core will be such enterprises as turbokon, Kaluga turbine plant.

In the forming stage are the tourism cluster, clusters of non-metallic materials and agro-business.

AIRCO provides support from the initial stage of identifying promising ideas, business plans and roadmaps of development in high-tech industries. Only 2013 Kaluga, the company managed to attract projects from different sources about 200 million rubles.

Interesting to turn innovative ideas into successful startup projects, grants of the regional government. Allocated to 0.5 million in the first year after the establishment of the enterprise, and grants of 1 million rubles Fund of assistance to development of small forms of enterprises in scientific-technical sphere. 

AIRCO working closely with development institutions and banks to derive the best innovative ideas to commercial funding. All the stages collected together the chain that leads innovative product on the market.

This type of collaboration has already yielded positive results. Innovative developments of ONPO "Technology" have dozens of patents and are of interest to Russian and international aviation companies. Today, UNPO together with AIRCO leading model project for GK "Rostehnologii" on involvement in the turnover of enterprise's inventions, which are not used for the production of primary products.

The project of the Kaluga enterprise "Geoenergetika" recognized as one of the best in the framework of the Russian-German innovative cooperation in 2013 won a grant to work with Finnish partners. It is impossible not to recall the newest system without risk, the company "Algont" or a car alarm "Pandora". It is also the products world class.

And drug "Kagocel" company "nearmedic plus" building a plant in Obninsk, became a bestseller. Last year the company entered the top ten fastest growing Russian companies, and product – great prospects in foreign markets.

It can be concluded that the experience of the Kaluga region for the coordination of innovative activities deserves attention and could be replicated by other regions. And a tool like AIRCO can be a universal tool in the Russian economy to create sustainable areas of innovation development.
