Keywords: smart specialization strategies, clusters, design of scientific and technical and innovation policy.

Abstract

The article deals with the history and theoretical origins of the concept of strategies of smart specialization, its connection with other concepts and strategies, the normative base and the practice of its implementation in the European Union. The expediency of developing and implementing a strategy for smart specialties for Ukraine is analyzed, current status and perspectives are analyzed too. Also the existing foreign experience in designing economic and scientific and technical policy for further adaptation in Ukraine is reviewed. The landmarks of implementation of the European experience – “Strategy of Smart Specialization” (3S), its sources and tools according to the strategic goals of European integration – have been formed. The European integration aspirations of Ukraine and the association agreements already in force and the creation of a deep free trade zone have been analyzed. The main driving forces and incentives for the development of the CPI are the loss of traditional markets and the break-up of lasting cooperative ties with the Russian Federation; passive position of the state, which may lead to the actual imposition of low-tech specializations; the creation of profile regional clusters and the widespread use of the public-private partnership instrument; the need for the active use of all powers of the Associate Member status of Horizon 2020 for access to the design and implementation of 3S in Ukraine.
