The transition to a market economy in the 1990s led to a significant reduction in the number of R&D organizations, especially R&D departments and survey organizations, as well as in the number of R&D personnel and especially researchers. This was largely due to the outflow of competitive personnel, technology and capital from the country. These changes, which led to a decrease in the level of scientific potential of the country, the effectiveness of innovation, the aggravation of the problem of continuity in science have become a factor limiting the transition to innovative development of the Russian economy. An additional factor complicating the transition to a knowledge-based economy today is the low demand of domestic industry for innovations developed in Russia, an unsatisfactory investment climate for attracting private business to R&D. The article on the basis of the analysis of the relevant indicators identified the main problems that reduce the innovative activity of the regions of Russia, and proposed measures to overcome them.
