Abstract

The purpose of the article is to determine the possibilities of the innovative infrastructure of higher education of Ukraine to influence the development of the state’s economy. The results of the conducted research are based on a critical analysis of the problems that stand in the way of the formation and further development of innovative infrastructure of national higher education. During the research, it was identified that now Ukraine has created a regulatory framework that will ensure this development, but in practice, a few higher education institutions have an innovative infrastructure. An analysis of the main forms of innovative infrastructures operating in Europe and the United States was conducted to determine the most favourable conditions and opportunities for their implementation in Ukraine. In particular, technology parks, business incubators, and clusters were considered. The most successful forms of innovative infrastructure in the world were identified, in particular, Silicon Valley and Plastic Valley. Based on the results of the research, recommendations were developed for the development of innovations commercialisation centres in higher education institutions. The practical value of the obtained results lies in identifying the main ways of establishing and developing of the innovative infrastructure of higher education in Ukraine, which can provide an opportunity to increasing the level of efficiency of the Ukrainian economy and bringing the level of educational services to the level of compliance with international standards.
