摘要

The widespread development of information and communication technologies, the introduction of innovations led to the transition to a new stage of economic development, which was called "new economy". At the highest level, the authorities declared the priority role of the development of the innovation system in the Russian economy, which necessitates the coordination and development of scientific, technical and innovation activities in the regions. Systematic and long-term work to support innovation in the Astrakhan region has contributed to the fact that the sector of innovative entrepreneurship plays an increasingly prominent role in the economy of the region. New requirements for the development of regional industry have increased the receptivity of business to innovation. The distinctive features of the "new economy" and the directions of innovative development of the Russian economy in the long term determine their use as strategic priorities of economic development at the regional level, which will inevitably contribute to the strengthening of competitive positions, both regions and the country as a whole.
