Intellectual capital in the strategy of ensuring economic security of the Russian Federation

Ensuring the economic security of the state is an important area of the national strategy for long-term development, which identifies the main threats to economic stability and potential opportunities to prevent them through available socio-economic mechanisms. Sustainable development is possible only when creating a competitive economy, which in modern conditions cannot be achieved without innovative development and improving the quality of human resources. These aspects determine the importance of the nation’s intellectual capital, which becomes the main determinant of sustainable development and maintaining the competitiveness of the national economy in the context of the intensification of globalization processes. The purpose of this research is to examine intellectual capital in the context of ensuring economic security of the Russian Federation. To achieve this goal, it is proposed to consider the essence of intellectual security of the state, analyze the current intellectual situation of the domestic economy and determine the main trends in the development of intellectual potential. Based on the author’s analysis, it is possible to judge the intellectual position of Russia and identify intellectual threats to maintaining economic stability. It is also proposed to consider the author’s model of the dependence of the main indicators of innovation performance on the financing of intellectual development at the state and regional levels. Based on the revealed dependence, it is possible to predict the intellectual potential of increasing funding. In the future, it is planned to evaluate the relationship of individual intellectual results from a specific investment direction.
