PROSPECTS FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT OF INNOVATION ACTIVITY IN THE CONTEXT OF ENSURING THE ECONOMIC SECURITY OF KYIV

The article is dedicated to exploring the prospects for sustainable development of innovation activity in the context of ensuring the economic security of the city of Kyiv. It has been established that the number of applications for the registration of industrial property rights in Ukraine increased by 47.59% in 2023 compared to 2022, although the number of registered industrial property objects decreased by 5.64%. Kyiv traditionally leads in the registration of industrial property rights, as evidenced by the dynamics of submitted and registered applications for the period 2019–2023. The total number of patent applications for inventions by national applicants in Kyiv decreased by 51.44% in 2023 compared to 2019 but increased by 32.71% compared to 2022, indicating a positive trend. It was found that the share of registered inventions by national applicants in Kyiv accounted for 40.78% of the total registered inventions by national applicants in Ukraine in 2023, while the share of registered utility models was 26.17%, 14.61% less than that of inventions. Given their degree of uniqueness, inventions are considered more innovative than utility models, and thus, the trend of surpassing registered invention applications over utility model applications in Kyiv is viewed positively. Quantitative calculations of the group indicator (sub-index) of innovation activity in the economic security of Kyiv for 2019–2023 were conducted. A decline in innovation activity in Kyiv was observed in 2022, attributed to the war. However, innovation activity improved by 3.22% in 2023 compared to 2022. It is forecasted that innovation activity will increase upon the cessation of military actions in Ukraine, as the necessity to restore the city’s infrastructure and production capacities will create favorable conditions for further development.
