Abstract

The technological development of the national economy in modern conditions is impossible without the creation of a stable innovation ecosystem, capable of a continuous process of the innovations expanded reproduction. Within the framework of the innovation ecosystem, conditions should be created not only for innovation, but also for the active introduction of innovative products. This is especially true for the construction industry, which is the engine of economic growth. In order to analyze the ability of an innovation ecosystem to reproduce innovations, the authors proposed a methodology for assessing the reproductive potential of an innovation ecosystem, which is based on the index method. A distinctive feature of the proposed methodology is the formation of a system of indicators relative to the main stages of innovation reproduction. In most scientific studies, the analysis is based on the assessment of the activities of economic entities involved in innovation. The methodology was tested at the regional level. In this case, an analysis of the industry specifics is possible. The results obtained make it possible to assess the reproductive potential of an innovation ecosystem, to identify the problematic stages in the innovations’ creation and implementation, which contributes to the possibility of using the additional levers for intensifying economic growth.
