Abstract
The article analyzes the role of innovative ecosystems in the implementation of Russia’s state policy of import substitution. It examines the interaction between various ecosystem participants, including government institutions, private companies, research centers, and educational organizations. In the methodological part, the terms “innovative ecosystems”, “technopark” and “innovation clusters” have been analyzed in detail based on contemporary scientific literature. The study highlights the special role of technology parks, startup incubators, and innovation clusters as primary suppliers of innovative technologies and products. The main part explains the decisive role of the state in the development of innovative ecosystems. Particular attention has been paid to cooperation strategies as a necessary and appropriate method for establishing international relations with Russia’s allied states. The paper presents statistical data from secondary research regarding the commodity structure and types of import-substituting products. The Russian specifics of innovation ecosystem development, including existing issues and prospects, have been highlighted. Recommendatory approaches to expanding the role of innovative ecosystems within regional contexts to enhance regional economic potential have been described. In conclusion, the study emphasizes the need to strengthen coordination between ecosystem participants to increase their efficiency under import substitution conditions.
