Development of innovative potential of enterprises in the context of convergence of national and international models of innovative development as a basis for modernization of Ukraine's economy

Abstract

Abstract. The article examines the development of innovative potential of enterprises in the context of convergence of national and international models of innovative development as a prerequisite for modernization of Ukraine's economy. The structure of the innovative potential of the enterprise is analyzed through the prism of resource theory and the concept of dynamic capabilities, with personnel, technological, financial, organizational, and informational components identified. The typology of models of innovative development is revealed according to the role of the state and the strategy of technological renewal; the mechanisms of convergence of national and international approaches to innovation activity are studied. Five channels of convergence impact on the innovative potential of enterprises are identified: normative, competitive, investment, network, and human capital channels. Based on the data of the European Innovation Scoreboard 2025 and the Global Innovation Index 2024, a diagnosis of the innovation status of enterprises in Ukraine is carried out, which confirmed the presence of significant human capital and competitive ICT segments alongside a critical institutional constraint that reduces the returns from available resources. The author's concept of three-level strategic convergence is proposed, covering: the institutional level (the Euro-integration anchor as a mechanism for reducing uncertainty and increasing trust), the meso-level (sectoral and regional upgrading through clusters, participation in global value chains, and smart specialization), and the micro-level (organizational modernization of enterprises through innovation management systems, open innovation, and development of dynamic capabilities). It is substantiated that economic modernization is a cumulative result of the mass increase in the innovative potential of enterprises that change the technological structure, competitiveness, and resilience of the country. Prospects for further research are outlined.
