Investment and innovation systems (IIS) – the key institutions of the National innovation system (NIS)

Research has been carried out on the processes of formation and features of the functioning of the National innovation system (NIS), its main components and the links between them. A separate direction, within the framework of this topic of this scientific work, was the study of Investment and innovation systems (IIS) as key institutions of the NIS, characterized by a pronounced backbone function. At the same time, the main general scientific methods of this study were scientific abstractions, analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction, scientific modeling, and the scenario method.

The integrated use of these research methods made it possible to schematically present the structure of the National innovation system, highlighting four main institutional subsystems and subsystems of specific links that ensure the functioning of both institutional subsystems and the entire NIS. In addition, the use of the scenario method for business entities of all categories of the national economy engaged in innovative activities, in order to clearly identify investment and innovation systems among them, made it possible to determine the algorithm of their functioning, presenting it as a system of inequalities of criterial conditions.
