A SYSTEM OF INDICATORS FOR ASSESSING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF TECHNOLOGICAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP INCENTIVES IN THE REGIONS (THE CASE OF BUKHARA REGION)

The article assesses the effectiveness of measures aimed at stimulating technological entrepreneurship at the regional level. Its relevance stems from the uneven regional distribution of national innovation achievements. In 2024, four territories accounted for 88.5% of innovative output, while the Herfindahl–Hirschman Index reached 2,646 points. Based on the Oslo Manual and the GII methodology, nine indicators grouped into three categories (resources, activity, and results) and a results-weighted integral index are proposed. The scientific novelty lies in supplementing the integral index with a regional input–output gap and a localisation coefficient. An assessment of the Bukhara region identified it as an innovation-specialised territory (localisation coefficient of 1.37) with opportunities to strengthen its research funding base, which accounts for 2.8% of national R&D expenditure. A roadmap for introducing these indicators as key performance indicators (KPIs) for the regional administration is proposed.
