Abstract

Introduction. The functioning of Ukraine’s national innovation systemhas provided significant opportunities to enhance its effectiveness through the commercialization of priority innovative developments with the highest level of readiness generated by the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine (NASU).
Problem Statement. Research on innovative developments has addressed critical issues related to expanding the activities of academic research institutions in the commercialization of their research and development (R&D) results.
Purpose. This study has aimed to substantiate the potential for improving Ukraine’s national innovation system through the commercialization of priority innovative developments produced by NASU.
Materials and Methods. The study has relied on statistical data, publications by Ukrainian and international scholars, and reports of international organizations. Monographic, analytical, and comparative methods based on socio-economic and statistical analysis have been applied.
Results. The study has characterized NASU’s innovation developments that are ready for practical implementation, using a methodology for preparing R&D commercialization projects developed by the Institute for Economics and Forecasting of NASU. The portfolio of prospective developments has been classified by fields of activity.
Conclusions. To overcome Ukraine’s limited experience in prioritizing, commercializing, and economically justifying innovative projects — as well as in assessing the effects of industrial scaling and providing patent protection for intellectual property rights — the participation of NASU institutes in R&D commercialization has been expanded. A practical instrument for this process has been the methodology developed by the Institute for Economics and Forecasting of NASU. This approach has contributed to strengthening Ukraine’s innovation system, particularly through the launch of various forms of academic startups.
