The article identifies the main theoretical and methodological foundations for the formation of the agricultural competence center (AC) on an innovative basis. It is proposed to introduce the best world practice of the Extension system as a basis, which will enable the subjects of the agricultural sector to improve the methods of agriculture and technology through educational and practical activities, targeted transfer of know-how. The formation of the AC region in the context of cluster development is the basis for increasing the competitiveness of the agar sector of the region and the country as a whole. It should concentrate on ensuring equal competitive conditions for all actors of the agricultural sector. The main purpose of creating AC on an innovative basis in the region is to consolidate the efforts of government, business and science for economic development of the region, aimed at solving socio-economic problems. Within the framework of the regional AC, the organization of Agribusiness Incubators is proposed, which will provide a rapid increase in the level of innovation and stability in the agricultural sector of the economy. The main strategic prospects for the development of AC have been identified. AC allows for greater flexibility, adaptability and mobility of the association. As a result, the form of cooperation will provide an opportunity to ensure: interaction of scientific and educational institutions, authorities, agribusiness structures and their public organizations to obtain a synergistic effect; reduction of total costs for research and development of innovations with their subsequent commercialization due to high efficiency of production and technological structure; more efficient use of infrastructural and scientific potential of the region; implementation of potentially significant financial and innovation-investment projects; mobilization of disparate investment resources, their accumulation and transformation into productive capital. Proposed the creation of Agribusiness Incubators within the regional AC, which are a key element of strategy in the agricultural sector to rapidly increase the level of innovation and stability in the agricultural sector of the region and the country as a whole. The creation of Agribusiness Incubators will increase the economic potential of entrepreneurs in the agricultural sector and create conditions for self-employment in the region. The agribusiness incubator will be a platform for public-private dialogue, training and exchange of best practices in the agricultural sector. The creation of the proposed AC is a tool for leveling the global challenges facing the region and the state as a whole. Such global challenges may include demographic decline and urbanization, increased competition, the growing role of digital technologies and the shift of quality jobs from production and marketing to the digital plane, investors' willingness to return on investment and, consequently, their unwillingness to invest in the industry.
