The role of commercialization of innovative potential of space industry enterprise

The article examines the role of commercialization of the innovative potential of enterprises of space-rocket industry (SRI). In today’s economy the effective activity of industrial enterprises, ensuring a high rate of development and maintenance of high competitiveness largely depends on their innovation activities. At present, innovations, created at industrial environment, open up new market opportunities for enterprises. The unique advantage of the space industry is a strong scientific and technical base, including a highly qualified workforce. As a result, the SRI enterprises have accumulated a unique innovative capability that enables the implementation of technologically complex tasks to be commercialized in applied science business, which is the main difference of the modern innovation economy. A number of scientific directions of the space industry today is cost-effective and attractive investment areas of investment. Among the key areas of the market demand for civilian goods SRI, we can distinguish such important sectors of the economy as transport, communications and telecommunications, electronics, oil and gas industry, fuel and energy industry, healthcare. There is a mutual approach, combining the development of links between science and economic structures in order to create favorable conditions for carrying out economic activities. Such process can be described as the process of integration of military production to civilian sphere of the economy. SRI enterprises need to expand the object of commercialization. Civil production must be carried out on the basis of the results of the innovation activity at different stages of the innovation process, which is a particular space rocket product - from the idea to the patented product or technology. The commercialization of innovative potential of the SRI enterprises is the most important area to address some of the problems that have arisen as a result of the reduction of the state orders and capital investment, which resulted in the rocket and space industry in a serious crisis.
