The authors gave an overview of the innovation ecosystem formation theme development, built a logical model of the innovation infrastructure, defined the roles of the main actors. To create an innovation ecosystem in the Volgograd region, it is necessary to study the foreign experience and experience of the regions of the Russian Federation and adapt it to the socio-economic conditions of the Volgograd region. In Russia, innovation ecosystems at the regional level are only being formed. The most successful developments in innovation infrastructure building are found in the universities of Moscow, St. Petersburg, Novosibirsk, Tomsk, Perm, Samara, Kazan, Rostov-on-Don. The authors based on the analysis of the dynamics of statistical indicators for the development of innovative entrepreneurship in the Volgograd region, data ratings characterizing the innovation processes in the regions of the Russian Federation, as well as analyzing the existing infrastructure for supporting SMEs and innovative entrepreneurship, justified the need to create an innovative ecosystem in the Volgograd region. The authors have identified problems that reduce the efficiency of the infrastructure for supporting SMEs and innovative entrepreneurship, including weak interaction between knowledge generators and representatives of the business environment who are interested in their commercialization; insufficient development of social links between scientific institutions and innovative enterprises, insufficient coordination of the elements of regional innovation systems. The existing infrastructure is not built into the process of moving an idea from its generation to entering the market and does not contribute to the acceleration of innovative start-ups. The authors concluded that it is necessary to integrate an integrator in the innovative infrastructure, which performs the functions of informing and coordinating stakeholders, to intensify the flow of innovative projects by popularizing innovative activities; maintain a database of innovative projects, evaluate them, track successful projects and accelerate them.
