Innovative industrial development of mining and processing of mineral resources of the Russian Arctic: problems and solutions

The problems of innovative development of industrial production and processing of mineral resources of the Russian Arctic, which account for over 37 % of added value. It is shown that the growth of industrial production of the Arctic macro-region is mainly due to extensive factors – increase rather than the use of innovative technologies. It is noted that the innovative development of the Arctic regions lags behind similar indicators of the Russian Federation and significantly inferior to developed countries. In meeting the challenges of sustainable development is a dynamic macro-economy has the primary role belongs to innovative industrial activity, capable of providing a continuous update of technological base of production, development and production of new competitive products, efficient penetration of world markets for goods and services. The strategic direction of development is the intensification of industrial production, especially in times of crisis and economic sanctions against the Russian Federation western countries. It is recognized that the development and implementation of innovative projects and import substitution technologies and equipment in enterprises of mineral resources of Russia is seriously late, did not have to wait for faster results. To implement the policy of import substitution is necessary to develop efficient ways to solve the problem in the first place increasing innovation activity of enterprises. Implementation of these measures is the important factor of innovative development of enterprises for extraction and processing of mineral resources, and ensuring the economic security of the country.
