The combination of the types of resource projects and the Arctic spaces in which they are deployed gives four main situations for the industrial policy. It should be maximally active and broad in the first case of a greenfield project, which will demand triple innovation: at the stages of production, processing and transportation. The industrial policy should have a close character in the second case of new industrial areas of double innovation —in processing and logistics. In the third and fourth cases of “rejuvenation” of old industrial areas due to a new resource project or modernization of an old mining enterprise, the main focus of industrial policy is shifted to the regional and municipal levels. In addition to the degree of innovation, activity, with the transition from the first to the fourth type, the priorities of the state industrial policy do also change. In the first case, it is about linking production activity in the Arctic with the work of processing enterprises in the developed zone of Russia, in the second case, about the smart partnership of the state and corporations in new industrial districts, in the third case, about supporting the growth of new types of resource activity as“core” growth “nuclei buildings” in the old industrial area. Finally, in the fourth case, we are talking about the massive use by the state of the mechanisms of “rejuvenation” of the old mining province of the Arctic.
