Abstract
Aim. To identify directions for regional development and the use of science, technology, and human resources to ensure sustainable innovative growth of regions.
Objectives. To reveal the role of science, technology, and human resources in the innovative development of regions; to conduct an analytical review of leading practices in the use of these resources in Russia and China; to highlight directions for the development of science, technology, and human potential at the regional level.
Methods. We applied methods of content analysis of publications in the context of the research topic, systems analysis, synthesis of principal components, as well as statistical methods.
Results. Directions for talent management are substantiated. The necessity of developing regional research and education centers that promote cooperation among universities, research organizations, and businesses for the implementation of innovative projects and the training of highly qualified specialists is demonstrated. Problems in regional innovation systems are identified, and directions for regional development and the use of science, technology, and human resources to ensure sustainable innovative growth of regions are shown. The role of these resources in the innovative development of regions is revealed.
Conclusion. For sustainable innovative development of regions, the integration of science, education, and production serves as an important factor. Technologies and human resources ensure innovative development in the era of digitalization. In confirmation, an analytical review of best practices in the use of science, technology, and human resources in the regions of Russia and China is presented. Directions for the development of scientific and human potential at the regional level are highlighted.
