On the edge of ХХ-ХХІ centuries humanity entered innovation age, characterized by rapid increase of
changes in every area of social life. It is the time of science intensive technologies, fundamental science

human activity resources become innovation activity. Consequently innovations become important tool of all
radical changes in human development and economic system generally.
Innovation direction of domestic economy development defined in Law of Ukraine “About innovation activity”
