Development Trends of Technology Parks: State Support Instruments

Aim. Identify the main tools contributing to the development of the infrastructure of technoparks and their residents, as well as consider aspects of improving the legal regulation of state support for technoparks in the Russian Federation. Methodology. To achieve the set objectives, the authors studied, systematized and analyzed a significant number of scientific, educational and methodological sources. The norms of international and national law concerning the legal regulation of public relations related to the organization of technology parks in Russia were also summarized. The process of systematization and generalization of data required the use of various methodological approaches, including dialectical methods such as analysis and synthesis, as well as cultural and comparative legal methods. To identify patterns, logical methods were used, including deduction, induction and analogy, as well as historical and formal legal approaches. Describing and comparing the results with other studies, the authors used systemic, functional and sociological methods. Results. The conducted analysis allowed to identify trends in the evolution of legislation. In particular, successful regulation of the activities of technology parks specializing in high technologies at the federal level was noted, which led to the formulation and consolidation of the definition of a technology park at the regulatory level. However, some shortcomings were also identified, such as the possibility of creating technology parks and receiving support only if the goals defined by law are met, as well as the lack of legal norms regulating the activities of technology park residents. As a result, a conclusion was made on the need to further improve the system of state regulation of technology parks based on federal legislation and current standards. Research implications . Until recently, the management of technology parks was fragmented and unsystematic, but in recent years positive changes have been observed, which is associated with amendments and additions to industry legislation.
