Abstract

The article examines certain aspects of the implementation of state policy in the field of scientific and technological development as a basis for achieving technological sovereignty. It is revealed that the development of advanced production technologies and the creation of our own technological base for industrial development will allow us to achieve technological sovereignty of the country and achieve technological leadership in the world market. Particular attention is paid to the factors hindering the achievement of technological sovereignty. The mechanism and tools aimed at eliminating or weakening the impact of various factors that hinder the process of achieving technological leadership are studied. The purpose of the work: to study the relationship between the scientific and technological development of Russia and the real sector of the economy. The problems of achieving technological sovereignty of the country are considered from the standpoint of integrating the scientific, technical and industrial spheres of the Russian economy. Attention is focused on the indicators of the achieved level of technological sovereignty by types of products and the level of development of advanced technologies. The need for a systematic approach aimed at the sustainability of industrial development in the future is substantiated. Systemic limitations on the path to technological sovereignty are noted, including import dependence, low commercialization of scientific developments and insufficient development of regulatory and incentive mechanisms and measures. The theoretical basis of the scientific work was the use of general scientific methods of cognition to the processes and phenomena under study. The use of a logical approach made it possible to interpret the results obtained during the study, as well as to draw conclusions and formulate proposals for creating a mechanism for interaction between scientific, technical and industrial spheres on the path to technological sovereignty. It is concluded that despite the current problems, Russia has the resources and capabilities to achieve technological sovereignty and create a modern industry that meets the development goals of the country set in the Strategy for Scientific and Technological Development of the Russian Federation.
