Abstract. The author presents a comparative analysis of the existing potentials of innovative development of the EEU participating countries. The results of the analysis made it possible to identify the existing divergence of the created innovation stocks from country to country, as well as to show the gaps in the functioning of the national innovation systems (NIS) of the countries participating in the integration association, show different level of development of NIS. The main internal and external problems of integration of national innovation systems of states are identified and possible ways to address them are suggested. The tools for enhancing innovative integration in the EEU, developed by the Eurasian Economic Commission, are considered. To identify the effectiveness of the instruments proposed by the EEC, the positions of the EEU member countries in the world innovation process were examined based on global innovation index (GII). Prospective directions of development of the innovation policy of the EEU members are proposed.
Keywords: innovative potential, innovative development, national innovation systems, global innovative ranking, innovation policy.
Current world economic system determines that the level of the country's socio-economic development depends directly on its ability to generate innovations and to transfer them into new unique technologies that form long-term competitive advantages in the global market. Therefore, innovation-based development is also a priority for enhancing the competitiveness of national economies in the globalized world economy. Regional associations serve not only to "dynamize the development of the united countries, but also to reduce the difficulties of socio-economic development of their members due to the enlargement of the regional scale of production" [1].
Each of the member countries of the Eurasian Economic Union has a certain potential for innovative economic development and an established national innovation system (NIS), [2] analysis of its performance is presented in Table 1.
The data presented in indicates that Russia is the first country in terms of the domestic financing of research and development (R&D), followed by the Republic of Belarus and Armenia. In Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan, the level of funding for scientific development is approximately the same. A large share of the R&D cost structure is dedicated to investing in scientific development. Such distribution of funds is typical for all EEU countries, except for Kazakhstan, where the biggest share of R&D costs are dedicated to financing applied research.
The existing structure of internal costs for research and development by sectors of the economy of the EEU does not correspond to global trends. The world trend is concentration of the major expenditure on research in the business sector and the higher education sector. In the EEU, the cost structure is shifted to the entrepreneurial and public sectors. The amount of R&D expenditures in the higher education sector is very small (the only exception is Kazakhstan). The parameter characterizing the level of integration both outside and within the integration association is the share of
publications in co-authorship with foreign scientists.

Russian Federation. Within the EEU, the highest degree of scientific cooperation with the Russian Federation enjoys the Republic of Belarus, Armenia and Kazakhstan. As to the staffing of the national innovation system, the list is headed by the Russian Federation, followed by the Republic of Belarus and Armenia. It should be noted that the Republic of Belarus is the leader in terms of the main indicators of innovative development (see Chart 1, indicators 8, 9, 10), outpacing approximately 2 times all the EEU members.
The performed analysis made it possible to identify the problems of integrating of the national innovation systems of the EEU member countries, which can be conventionally combined into two groups:
1) internal problems of the countries: insufficient coordination between the main components of the NIS - the research and development sector, the business sector and the higher education sector. As a consequence - weakly developed system for the commercialization of scientific and technological developments, with a low level of market performance of the scientific research,
2) external problems of the countries: a weak cooperation among the NISs of the EEU members - the absence of a single supranational document that would determine the strategy of innovative development of the EEU.
The problems of the first group can be solved by improving the relations among the main components of NISs of the countries and creating an environment conducive to the development of innovative entrepreneurship and venture business.
To improve the effectiveness of the interaction of the EEU members in the scientific and technical activities of the Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC), a number of tools have been developed.
First of all, the Eurasian technology transfer network, integrated to the international structure that allows searching for technology developers and enterprises interested in them1.
Secondly, the Eurasian network of industrial cooperation and subcooperation is an information system for the search and implementation of industrial orders.
Thirdly, tools for participation in UNIDO projects and programs aimed at sharing UNIDO experience and standards with the industry of the EEU countries.
It is envisaged to create interstate programs and projects to coordinate scientific and financial efforts in the innovation sphere as a tool to expand the international cooperation of the members of the integration association.
The Eurasian innovative industrial clusters - the formation of consortiums between producers of innovative products that can support the sale and export of products - can become a significant direction of the innovative development of the EEU countries.
In order to expand the innovative cooperation of the EEC, it is envisaged to create special economic zones, technology parks, business incubators that allow interaction between the objects of the innovative and industrial structure of the EEU members.
Thus, within the Eurasian Economic Committee, programs for stimulating the processes of forming a new technological base are being gradually developed on the basis of coordination of the scientific and technical activities of the EEU members, overcoming in parallel the following: at present - the factors of influence, and then - the consequences of the global economic crisis.
Nevertheless, at the moment there is a significant lag in the innovative development of the EEU countries from developed countries, which clearly demonstrates the positions of states in the Global Innovation Index (GII)
1 According to the head of the Kazakhstan government Bakytzhan Sagintayev, 12 Eurasian platforms have already been formed, on which more than 130,000 joint operational projects are being discussed in such areas as space, medicine, information and communication technologies, ecology, the future of natural resources, and agriculture.

rating (Table 2).
GII is calculated on the basis of analysis of 71 indicators (subindeces), which characterize in detail all factors of innovative development of countries. The study is based on the assumption that the efficiency and competitiveness of the economy is linked, both with the presence of innovative potential and conditions for its application. Therefore, all indicators are grouped into 2 groups: "Innovation Input", "Innovation Output".
Thus, GII reflects the correlation between the result and expenses, which allows assessing with reasonable accuracy the efficiency of the efforts of this or that country in the sphere of innovation development.

The data of Table 2 shows that in 2017 the following countries increased their positions in the ranking: Armenia (from 60 to 59) and Kyrgyzstan (103 by 95). The rest of the countries worsened their positions: Russia (from 43 to 45), Kazakhstan (75 to 78) and Belarus (79 to 88th place). In general, position of the EEU, falls from 72 to 73 places.
The strengths of the EEU countries are recognized: the quality of human capital, business development, knowledge and infrastructure development [4]. On the other hand, Imperfect institutions, low indicators of domestic market development and weak commercialization of the results of intellectual activity impede the development of innovative activity in the member states of the EEU.
Therefore, despite the presence of such competitive advantages of the EEU countries, as a relatively low level of public debt and budget deficit, a significant volume of the domestic market, a relatively high innovative potential and high-quality higher education, "existing problems in other areas predetermine not leading positions of the EEU countries in world economic ratings "[5].
