The level of technological independence achieved: problems and solutions

The paper critically examines the assessing methodology for achieved level of technological independence, summarises its main shortcomings and proposes a variant to overcome them. The theory of measurement and technological development, the author's approaches in the field of "economy of technology" as a new scientific direction, including typification, accounting and measurement of technological potential and sovereignty are used as a methodology. We propose an algorithm that significantly modifies the approved methodology of the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation and improves it in terms of increasing the plausibility of assessing technological independence (sovereignty).
