“…Most of agro-food firms, particularly small and medium-sized firms, lack this possibility and opportunity. The intensity of the innovation activity of enterprises is mostly influenced by the level of their legal awareness and by the ability to utilize the innovation mechanisms and opportunities for transfer of knowledge, modern technologies and practices (Moravčíková et al, 2017). While the exchange of information between entities, advisory in the area of EU funds, and preparation of innovative projects are the most used possibilities to enhance the innovation potential of Slovak agro-food companies, we can see a lack of interest in financing legal advice about protection of intellectual property, international cooperation and research cooperation with academic sector (Table 4; Friedman test; p < 0.01).…”

Sustainability and innovation are key elements of the economic growth and productivity in the contemporary era. The willingness, ability, and capacity to innovate is a strategic tool for the Slovak agro-food companies that want to maintain and/or to improve their market. The aim of this paper is to discuss the selected aspects and determinants of innovative performance of the Slovak agro-food companies and point out key areas and types in innovations, problems influencing their implementation, and assessing their success. The issue of innovation and the “new” role of the agro-food sector have become crucial in the context of transition of the Slovak economy toward more sustainable approaches. Therefore they have become important topics of both scientific research and policy agendas. Using a case study method, a questionnaire survey among 99 agro-food companies in Slovakia was carried out to obtain empirical data about the way how they manage, implement and evaluate the innovations. The study outlined the selected aspects and key determinants which affect the motivation of agro-food companies to innovate as well as selected factors influencing the processes of implementation and management of innovation. The research findings also point out that substantial changes will be required in regulation and support of innovations in the agro-food sector in Slovakia. The study could contribute to help the agro-food companies' managers to improve the innovation activities and competitiveness of their companies, and it would be also helpful for public administration in the development of policies and instruments supporting innovations in the agro-food sector.

“…Work [7] analyzed the compliance of existing mechanisms of financial support of innovative relations and technology transfer, the essence and features of innovations and technologies in the agricultural domain. During the research, it was established that the legislation of the European Union contains numerous provisions, the interpretation of which allows us to conclude that technology is not identified with the system of objects of intellectual property rights but is a broader concept.…”

“…In other words, this understanding of the essence of technology encompasses its material and informational embodiment. Next, according to the degree of significance within the limits of economic relations, it is possible to define approaches to identify the essence of technology with innovative objects and objects of intellectual property law [6,7].…”

“…Within the innovation process and innovation relations, technology can take the place of innovation because it has the same features. As a result of the implementation of technology, the business entity that implements the technology can gain significant competitive advantages over other participants in economic relations [6][7][8][9]. At the same time, technology can also be the result of implementing innovations within a certain economic process.…”

The object of this study is the essence and directions of improvement of the normative construction of the concept of technology, which is used within the framework of legal regulation of financial support of the innovation process and technology transfer within the framework of the law of the European Union. In the course of summarizing and studying the existing regulations, it was established that they are not unified and differ significantly. This does not meet the needs of participants in the innovation process and subjects of technology transfer. It has been proven that the most negative impact of the disparity of legal regulation occurs during the implementation of means of financial support for innovative processes. The expediency of improving the existing concept of technology definition by fixing its single generalized definition has been substantiated. Authentic definition of technology is proposed as information of an organizational and technical nature about the sequence of production operations, which can be expressed in the form of the results of scientific research, research and design works, a system of objects of intellectual property rights, information of an organizational and technical nature, technological documentation, equipment, tools, machines, and mechanisms. It was substantiated that this definition makes it possible to eliminate most of the identified problems and is formed on the basis of the existing needs of the participants of technology transfer. The study is aimed at the formation of general theoretical foundations for improving the essence of technology for the purposes of legal support for financial support of innovation processes and technology transfer in the European Union. The research results could be used in the formation of international normative acts, acts of national legislation, and serve as a basis for further scientific research on these issues

This topic is relevant for the current study of the financial situation in general, and the derivatives market in particular. In this context, it is also important to outline the degree of state support for the development of the derivatives market, having previously identified the priority areas of state activity in this area. The current development of global financial markets indicates their growing efficiency and increasing role of international capital markets in attracting credit resources. The purpose of the article is to study, evaluate and analyze financial instruments, their impact on the national economy, as well as problems in the introduction of new financial instruments. The article summarizes and analyzes foreign experience in the use of financial instruments on the example of EU countries. The most effective methods of state regulation of financial instruments that can be applied in Ukraine are demonstrated. The dynamics of changes in financial instruments used in the Ukrainian financial market is investigated. The importance of using financial instruments in the Ukrainian economy is substantiated. The article identifies the most important problems and suggests methods and ways of more efficient functioning of the studied market. It is proved that to increase the country’s competitiveness in the world financial market it is necessary to develop new financial instruments. The data on the use of financial instruments along with their grouping for 2013-2021 are systematized. It is necessary to further strengthen the tendencies of providing various types of financial support for regional development. In the future, it should also be taken into account that an indispensable condition for sustainable and effective regional development is institutional support, first of all, it is about regional development funds, which provides for an increase in the budgetary self-sufficiency of the regions. Thus, the coordinated activity of the financial system in a harmonious and professional combination of its functions is possible with the assistance of the state apparatus and a developed financial market
