Accelerators and business incubators as mechanisms for implementing the «open innovation» model

Abstract

In the current economic situation, the creation of an effective entrepreneurial ecosystem plays an important role in the innovative development of the state. To ensure the stability of the Russian economy, it is necessary to develop institutions for the interaction of promising innovators who are at the beginning of their entrepreneurial journey with interested companies, government institutions and corporations. This article is devoted to the consideration of the domestic and foreign approach to understanding the phenomenon of “open innovation”, namely, the two main mechanisms of this model of interaction between small and medium business and large economic entities — a business incubator and an accelerator. Particular attention is paid to the empirical aspects of the implementation of this phenomenon in Russia.
