Small Innovative Enterprises in the Field of Environmental Protection in Russian Institutions of Higher Education

Aim. To undertake an analysis of the actual status of small innovative enterprises (SIE) in the field of environmental protection created by universities within the framework of programs to develop innovation activity infrastructure and to identify their key operational challenges and the main directions to improve their efficiency.

Materials and Methods. In the course of the research, data on registered SIE were used which were contained in the database of notifications of their establishment (website: https://mip.extech.ru), as well as survey data obtained during the monitoring of the activities of SIE created by state institutions of education and science for the practical application of results of intellectual activity. Methods of analysis and synthesis as well as systematic, statistical and research survey methods were used.

Results. A study was made of the information provided by institutions of higher education through surveys of conditions of SIE activities in the field of environmental protection. The main indicators of the SIEs in the field of environmental protection active in 2017 were identified and analyzed - revenue, profit, type of activity and number of recorded results of innovation activity. In the process of analyzing the survey data a number of problems were revealed which hamper effective SIE operations, the solution of which would involve changes in current legislation. The study of proposals of institutions of higher education to improve SIE activities has made it possible to identify key areas for the development of innovative entrepreneurship.
