Revutsky S. The state of innovative development and further steps towards the neo-economy of Ukraine in the first quarter of the XXI century. The article examines the state of innovative development in Ukraine in comparison with world leaders. Comparative analysis of goals, priorities and directions of development and modernization of public policy to achieve the level of neo-economy, which is formed under the influence of the new paradigm of scientific and technological development and technological revolution, which is now observed in many countries. From the above data we see that among the common shortcomings of our economic strategy and development program are: ambiguity and inconsistency of goals, mechanisms and objectives, sources of funding and general backwardness in approaches, which requires the use of European approaches to achieve the goal. Relying only on outdated methods of production and labor, the country loses competitiveness in the world market, lagging behind in technological development due to lack of innovation and research in the necessary areas, while the existing system is uncertain and has no financial or legal basis for efficient operation. When the whole world moves to new technological levels, raising its level to the fifth and sixth levels, our state, without a clear leadership and base, lags behind in innovation. That is why the article substantiates the conceptual principles of strategic development of the state, priorities and mechanisms for using the innovation potential to increase the competitiveness of Ukraine.The article also considers the possibility of implementation European practices for effective management of the implementation of targeted innovation programs, substantiation of software, strengthening of existing and modernization of existing to obtain competitive advantages in the modern world market. Currently, the country has a major lack of a clear line of leadership on innovation. There are a number of small and fragmented programs that operate separately from each other, there is no clear government leadership, which leads to a slowdown in development. Currently, the main goal for Ukraine should be the scientific development of its capabilities, their development and implementation of the knowledge of European colleagues to modernize existing and explore new ways to improve our level of technological structure.Keywords: steps to neo-economy, technological ways, medium-term priorities of innovative development, high technologies
