International technology transfer as a mechanism of activating the innovative development of a country

1. Innovation leaders of the world economy are mainly highly developed countries, 
in particular, Switzerland, Sweden, the USA, the Netherlands, Great Britain, etc. The GDP 
per capita of the top ten innovators is from $ 50,000 (Finland) up to $ 114,000 
(Luxembourg). The achieved level of the economic growth is the result of the 
functioning of the developed innovative systems, which provide the developed countries 
with the ability to create innovations independently and to determine the directions for 
the development of science and technology of entire industries. In spite of the fact that 
some EU countries are leaders in the ranking, in general the EU region is only trying to 
catch up with the United States. The EU at the global level is less innovative compared to 
Australia and Canada, South Korea and Japan, which are actively developing the capacity 
for innovative development. In the context of enhancing innovation development in the 
European Union, the EU Innovation Scoreboard is used, which allows to continuously 
monitor the changes in the performance and development factors of the national 
innovation systems of individual countries. The countries based on the research results 
are divided into four groups: innovators-leaders; active innovators, moderate 
innovators and modest innovators.
