One of the ways to implement an innovative model of economic development is state financial support for priority areas of innovative activity, which are aimed at ensuring the economic security of the state, creating high-tech competitive environmentally friendly products, providing high-quality services and increasing the export potential of the state. The Law of Ukraine "On Priority Areas of Innovative Activity in Ukraine" approved 7 strategic priority areas of innovative activity, according to which the Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine "Some issues of determining medium-term priority areas of innovative activity at the national level for 2017-2022" (No. 1056 from 28.12.2016) 41 medium-term priority areas of innovative activity at the national level for 2017-2022 have been established, and annual monitoring of their implementation by the main managers of budget funds has been introduced. The Ukrainian Institute of Scientific and Technical Expertise and Information monitors the implementation of priority areas of innovative activity, which is carried out by the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine, and the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine informs about its results. The purpose of the scientific work is to research and assess the state of implementation of strategic and medium-term priority areas of innovative activity at the national level by the main managers of budget funds for the use of the obtained results in the implementation of the state innovation policy, in particular, the forecasting of scientific, technical and innovative development. Monitoring of the implementation of priority areas of innovative activity in 2021 was carried out on the basis of the data of the main administrators on the implementation of innovative activities by them and the implementation of technology transfer at the expense of the state budget. A comparative assessment of the results of innovative activity was carried out in terms of strategic priorities and medium-term priorities of the national level; by types of innovative activity; the dynamics of innovative activity and technology transfer in the domestic and foreign markets were studied. Based on the results of the study, conclusions were drawn regarding the growth in 2021 of the business sector's demand for innovative developments and a real increase in the amount of budget funding of priority areas of innovative activity; increasing activity of technology transfer in domestic and foreign markets; an increase in the number of fundamentally new technologies transferred to the foreign market; growth in the share of technologies transferred to industrial enterprises; transfer with registration of intellectual property rights on the foreign market of all technologies, on the domestic market – the majority of them. Proposals have been given to activate and increase the effectiveness of the implementation of scientific, scientific-technical and innovative activities in priority areas, including: increase the funding of scientific research with a focus on the transfer of the results of fundamental scientific research into the thematic areas of R&D with the involvement of the business sector in funding; to intensify the stimulation of investors (domestic and foreign) to support scientific research and scientific and technical (experimental) developments and innovative activities; to intensify the stimulation of the scientific sector to the formation of topical and demanded topics of scientific research aimed at the creation of innovative developments to ensure the innovative development of the domestic economy.
The identification and implementation of new critical technologies in the field of weapons and military equipment will create prerequisites for the further development of highly competitive technological industries, as well as ensure the development and implementation of modern models of military equipment; will modernize existing weapons and improve their tactical and technical characteristics. Therefore, the work to identify critical technologies in this area is important for Ukraine, the results of which this article is devoted to. The goal is to update the list of critical technologies in the field of armaments and military equipment in pursuance of the order of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine from August 30, 2017 No 600 using foresight research in 7 thematic areas. The foresight research methodology is complex and includes 3 methods: two stages of expert surveys (scientists who made proposals; entrepreneurs who evaluated the proposals of scientists in terms of the importance and necessity for the business of the proposed technologies); scientometric and patent analysis to assess the relevance of the proposals of experts-scientists in terms of trends in world science and new technologies — 3rd stage; assessment of the proposals of expert scientists in terms of the possibilities and existing potential of Ukrainian science to carry out the proposed research — 4th stage. For each of the 4 stages presented, each proposal received 4 assessment, which were then reduced to an integral assessment. According to the integral assessment, all technologies for each thematic area were separately ranked and divided into three clusters. The best clusters were proposed as critical technologies. Assessment methods are methods of system analysis, intellectual property analytics, rank method, cluster analyse. Based on the results of the study, the Ministry of Education and Science has prepared a draft updated list of 24 critical technologies in 5 thematic areas, which was approved on February 23, 2022 by the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine. Subsequent work should include the results of a monitoring the implementation of approved technologies in the field of weapons and military equipment and determining the accuracy of the forecast.
The article is devoted to the research of the Forsyth method for priority areas in the field of supply, water treatment, water use and integrated water resources management to achieve Sustainable Development Goal 6 “Clean water and proper sanitation” in order to include them in the future list of priorities of scientific and technological development. Foresight-forecast research on the definition of priority areas was carried out in the context of national tasks of SDG 6 in three stages using a comprehensive method, which includes expert panels, scientometric and patent methods according to the developed methodology. The study involved experts, scientists and practitioners (mostly from the field of entrepreneurship), who submitted proposals and made expert assessments. Technological directions were determined with the help of the patent database Derwent Innovations, non-technological — according to the database of scientific publications Web of Science. According to the generalized results of the assessment of three stages and after clustering of all areas of research and technology according to this assessment (according to methodical recommendations) from the 24 technologies proposed by experts for four (6.1–6.4) national tasks of SDG 6 priority for inclusion in the future list of priorities. 12 directions of development on three (6.1–6.3) national tasks are offered.
Today, the scientific and technological sphere has become the main arena of competition between countries in the world, and the use of new technologies, especially in the field of armaments, is considered as one of the most important levers of geopolitics. Such technologies are a key for expanding the capabilities of the state's defense capabilities and achieving national security goals, priory to military and military-economic, as well as scientific and technological security. Today, the identification of scientific and technological key areas of military development is used to determine the priorities of scientific and technological development and military-technical policy which is crucial for the process of creating promising models of armaments and military equipment. The introduction of the latest technologies in the military is difficult to imagine without the use of computer and other telecommunications equipment, artificial intelligence technology, military robotics, quantum and space technology, 3D printing and biotechnology. Although they all are already used in the military and security spheres, still monitoring innovation and new technologies in the military are important for understanding not only future wars, but also global security. This study reviews global technological trends based on the analysis of publications of foreign consulting agencies, international organizations and forecasting and analytical research conducted by the author's methodology. The data upon perspective directions of development of scientific and technological researches in the military sphere on the basis of the analysis of publishing activity of a DB of Web of Science and a DB of patents of Derwent Innovations is provided. In particular, the range of new directions of technological development of the military sphere has been expanded and clarified not only in general, but also specified by types and kinds of troops. This analysis allowed us to determine that the areas of development claimed by international organizations and consulting agencies correlate with the areas identified by the authors of the study on the basis of scientometric and patent analysis. At the same time, the forecasted promising areas of research, determined by scientometric analysis of Web of Science publications, more or less completely coincide with the forecasts of NATO, RAND Corporation.
The article is devoted to the results of forecasting research to identify priority areas of research and technology in the field of marine conservation to achieve the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) No. 14 “Conservation and sustainable use of oceans, seas and marine resources for sustainable development”.
