ASSESSMENT OF THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE FUNCTIONING OF KAZAKHSTAN'S INNOVATION INFRASTRUCTURE

The formation of a developed and structurally balanced innovation infrastructure is a critical factor for the successful development of innovations. To gain a deeper understanding of the trends in the development of innovation systems in the conditions of a knowledge-intensive economy, additional research is necessary. The research aims to assess the effectiveness of the operation of Kazakhstan's innovation infrastructure. The effective establishment of the infrastructure of the innovation system in the republic requires a detailed analysis of individual components and their interactions within the system. The infrastructure of the innovation system of the Republic of Kazakhstan was considered as an object of study. An objective investigation of the processes of creation and functioning of innovative components in Kazakhstan will help justify key directions for enhancing the efficiency of innovation activities in the country with the goal of building a knowledge-intensive economy.

The effectiveness of the functioning of the innovation infrastructure of the Republic of Kazakhstan and its assessment is a very relevant topic for research, due to the lack in the country of a systematic vision of innovative development that takes into account the interaction of various components of the national system, including regional and sectoral innovation systems.

During the research, the author applied methods of data analysis, comparison, correlation-regression analysis, and SWOT analysis.

In order to assess the effectiveness of measures in implementing the ongoing innovation policy in Kazakhstan, the author applied a developed methodological approach to the analysis and evaluation of the state of the innovation infrastructure. This approach is based on the development of a set of indicators consisting of 18 indicators across six infrastructure subsystems: legal (3), organizational (2), financial-investment (3), personnel (3), technicaltechnological (3), and informational (3).

Based on the conducted SWOT analysis, the author identified the strategic goal as a consistent and sustainable movement towards the formation of a highly effective knowledge-intensive economy. Additionally, key strategic directions were developed to achieve this goal.
