The purpose of the mechanism is substantiated: to provide a synergistic effect in the development of the innovative potential of the region by ensuring effective interaction of all its participants. It has been stated that the proposed mechanism of innovative development can be used in any subject of the Russian Federation, taking into account the specific features of the region.
