The paper provides estimates of consequences of lacking mechanisms for implementing innovative priorities in industry for the economy of Ukraine. It is summed up that the key structural problem of Ukrainian industry is the weak innovation potential, which has worsened the already volatile competitive position of a number of national key industries in world markets. Recommendations for bringing experience and best world practices to Ukraine, in particular -- of EU member states with successful national innovation systems and effective tools for attracting private capital in innovation, were critically assessed. The preconditions and key trends of transformations in the policy of financing innovations of key world players (EU, USA, China) are highlighted. The practical experience and institutional transformations' peculiarities, aimed at activation of innovations financing in France, are generalized. One of the main shortcomings of the existing organizational and institutional management system for research and innovation in Ukraine is the lack of a structure, functionally aimed at industrial and innovative development of the national economy. It is emphasized that the dispersion of the function of formation and implementation of industrial policy (assigned to the Ministry of Economic Development) and innovation (within the competence of the Ministry of Education and Science) resulted in the loss of a number of competencies and positions of national industrial producers in national and foreign markets, as well as weak position in "trade wars". In order to counteract further degradation of the national industry and increase innovation potential in Ukraine, it is offered to create a fundamentally new, multifunctional body of state industrial management, combining the tools of industrial, technological and innovation policy with education and human capital policy. It is noted that the concretization of the authors' proposals will require further research both in terms of the existence of "windows of opportunity" that do not open at the stages of changing technoeconomic paradigms, and the real potential of institutional transformations in Ukraine.

The article is devoted to the problem of forming the concept of neoindustrialization in Ukraine. The purpose of the paper is to provide the conceptual vision of Ukraini an national model of neoindustrialization taking into account both its key quality signs and country-specific factors. In many countries of the world it is emphasized the regular character of transition to the principles of neoindustrial development in the context of the emergence of new challenges and new technological opportunities. For Ukraine's economy that is closely related to the world one "neoindustrial break” to the new quality of the development has no alternatives in the context of achieving the strategic purposes of economic security, global competitiveness, and effective performance in world processes. The importance of making the own neoindustrial model for Ukraine considering the specific of internal problems and national strategy of development is marked out. On the basis of economic and statistical analysis the trends of development of the Ukraine's industry and the factors determining its industrial policy are educed. Taking into account the scales of general losses of Ukraine's industry it is suggested to form the national conception of neoindustrial development on the idea of re-industrialization. The revival of industrial production as a leading and high-efficiency component of the national economy is defined as the strategic goal of neoindustrialization in Ukraine. It is emphasized that the aims of neoindustrial model must be conditioned by strategic socio-economic interests of society, state, business, which require clear identification and co-ordination. Stage-by-stage aims, tasks and key evaluation indicators of neoindustrial strategy for the macro level of economy are offered. The importance of changes in composition of the key factors of economic dynamics is marked out. Competitive technological and product innovations, R&D, human and social capital, dynamic and balanced internal demand, effective export, international co-operation and integration in scientific and technical and productive spheres are ought to be among them. As the priorities for the national neoindustrial strategy such directions are proposed: large-scale and comprehensive innovation; development of the production structure; new efficient positioning in global processes and structures of economic cooperation and competition, GVCs and GSCs in particular. Priority must be given to strengthening of advantages of national intellectual capital and organization of transport and logistics services. The relevance of qualitative institutionalization for the successful implementation of neoindustrial development model is emphasized. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
