From a managerial point of view, we are talking about scientifically based prediction of the development directions. This processes are referred to the state, particular territories, and markets. This prediction is carried out taking into account the scenario development conditions for the forecast period. Forecasting is one of the essential components of strategic planning. An indicator of the relevance of work in this direction was the adoption of the Federal Law of July 19, 2018 No. 218-ФЗ (the bill was introduced by the President of the Russian Federation), which included in the goals of the Russian Academy of Sciences forecasting the main areas of scientific, scientific, technological and socio-economic development of the state.
