Relevance. The Russian economy is entering a new innovative stage of development. The key role in this process is played by high-tech industries, characterized by a high proportion of innovative products in the total volume of production. At the same time, enterprises in this sector of the economy are in urgent need of modernizing production, improving and finding ways to increase innovation. The need to ensure technological sovereignty and increase the competitiveness of Russian products on the world market in modern conditions necessitates the development of effective mechanisms to stimulate innovation and modernize the high-tech sector. The results of the study will allow us to identify the most promising areas of government support and tools to stimulate innovation activity, contributing to the accelerated development of high-tech industries.

The purpose of the study is to analyze the current state of high‒tech industries in the Russian economy.

Objectives: to identify key factors affecting the competitiveness of high-tech sectors of the Russian economy and develop recommendations for their stimulation; to substantiate priority areas and mechanisms of government policy to ensure advanced technological development and increase the competitiveness of Russian high-tech enterprises in the global market.

Methodology. Methods of system analysis, deduction and induction, analysis and synthesis were used in the conducted research.

Results. The study of the problems and prospects for the development of innovative activities of enterprises in high-tech industries has made it possible to identify factors contributing to the activation of innovative activities. The intensification of innovation and investment activities is of priority importance, ensuring the financing of R&D, increasing the efficiency of resource use, commercialization of innovations and the training of qualified personnel.

Conclusions. Achieving sustainable development of high-tech industries involves the comprehensive implementation of measures aimed at ensuring advanced technological development, stimulating innovation activity, government support and the development of partnerships.
