EFFECTS OF TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER PROJECTS: REGIONAL CASE OF ENERGY SAVING TECHNOLOGIES

Economics

The purpose of this study is to develop a methodological basis for determining the effects of technology transfer projects on example of regional case of energy saving technologies. This will supplement the methodology of innovation policy formation with new scientific ideas about the peculiarities of transformation of innovation processes and combine within innovation policy both technological trends and the potential impact of government regulation on factors determining innovation behavior of economic entities in the context of energy saving technologies. The analysis of the greening of technologies has shown that due to the significant differentiation of the product life cycle depending on the stage of innovation and technological development (technological cycles of development, production and operation) the most effective is the concept of resource efficient and clean production. The key idea of this concept is that industrial processes and functions should be improved so as not only to reduce waste and reduce pollution, but also to preserve and (or) generate additional income by conserving resources. The approach should be implemented in the following areas: production efficiency: optimization of efficient use of natural resources (material resources, energy and water); minimization of negative impact on the environment by reducing waste and emissions in places of their formation; reduction of harmful effects of products on the environment during its life cycle; minimization of risks to public health. Based on these ideas the main areas of technology transfer projects are presented. Based on the analysis of the world experience of innovation systems management, it is proposed to consider the groups of effects of technology transfer that have a positive impact on the development of the regional economy.
