The article notes that in modern conditions of the transitivity of the economy, the basic component of the mechanism for forming the foundations of sustainable development is to ensure the competitiveness of domestic goods and services in the national and international markets. For the purpose of analyzing the state, pressing problems and prospects of innovative development in Ukraine, quantitative and qualitative indicators of innovative activity have been investigated. It was revealed that during 2010-2019 there was a decrease in the number of organizations engaged in research activities and the number of employees engaged in research and development. It was found that, according to the State Statistics Committee of Ukraine, there is a tendency to an increase in expenditures (in million UAH) on research activities, but this was due to the depreciation of the hryvnia, because in dollar terms, there has been a decrease in the level of funding since 2014. It was revealed that in accordance with the ratings of the European Innovation Scoreboard 2020, Ukraine loses its positions every year – 34th place in 2014, 35th place during 2015-2018, 36th place in 2019 year and the penultimate 38th in 2020, ahead of only Romania. Taking into account the fact that the financial support of innovative activity in Ukraine is still very limited, in order to form the prerequisites for its increase, it is necessary to introduce a set of measures to mobilize existing and potential financial resources, including by attracting investments.
