Abstract
Article is devoted to the development of innovation activity in the industrial parks having potential to become large-scale Innovation Centers. The factors of internal and external environment are identified. They are connected with the Government support for innovative growth of small and medium enterprises, what is exemplified by the case of Academpark residents with different specialization. The article summarizes methodological premises of the research concept, international techniques of Technopark innovative capacity surveys, including assessment of internal and external environment for Technopark residents. The analysis algorithm with the author’s updates allows detecting how peculiarities of the environment affect residents potential for development. Empirical results are presented in the form of evaluations of residents environments and their growth potentials, as well as their influence on the Innocenters development trends. Measures of institutional support and effectiveness of public-private partnerships for various high tech activities of technology parks are considered as environmental factors. The hypotheses about transforming Academpark into the Innocenter are based on the comparison of
developing innovative environment in the Academpark and well-known world innovation centers. The experience of a pilot survey can be useful for large industrial parks in other cities of the Russian Federation, as well as for industrial parks connected their future development with the Siberian Branch of RAS and Novosibirsk urban agglomeration.
