DEVELOPMENT OF INNOVATIVE BUSINESS ON PRINCIPLES PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS
The research was conducted within the research project of IIE of NAS of Ukraine «Development of public-private partnerships in the modernization of the coal industry and thermal power» (state registration number 0115U001638).
Problem setting. In modern conditions of innovative enterprise in the Ukrainian economy hinder the low proportion of entities that carry out an innovative business that is primarily due to the absence of the main factors that affect the development of innovative entrepre-neurship in the country: a little consumer demand for innovative products; insufficient financing of scientific and technical capacity of the national economy; the lack of functioning of venture capital firms and investors who finance risky innovative activities.
In the field of small and medium-sized businesses present interest in accelerating the development and use of new technologies, the production of new products, bringing to the stage of industrial design innovations that are transferred on a commercial basis for the use of large enterprises.
The presence of entrepreneurial initiative, sufficient development of small and medium-sized businesses, and the use of effective mechanisms of state incentives can be the basic principles of the implementation of innovative processes. And intensive innovative development of Ukraine is possible by carrying out deep economic reforms aimed at the establishment of competitive small and medium-sized businesses, measures to translate innovative projects through the stimulation of innovative enterprises.
World experience shows that one of the ways to enhance the development of innovative business is a partnership of public and private sectors as a form of public-private partnerships. The use of such a mechanism would allow the expense of mutually beneficial cooperation of the state and private partners to accelerate the technological upgrading of the coal industry and thus improve the quantity and quality of coal products and to accelerate industrial growth at the regional and national level.
Analysis of recent researches and publications. Economic analysis of scientific sources indicates that scholars paid much attention to the problems of development of innovative business in Ukraine. Identify financial, tax, organizational and economic mechanisms of development of innovative business. The proposals on information and organizational support of functioning of small innovative enterprises [1-11].
Despite the wide range of scientific research on the subject, the study of essence of innovative entrepreneur-ship, implementation of the SWOT-analysis of his status in Ukraine, identification of the main factors hindering intensification of the functioning of small and medium enterprises in innovation, the development of a set of measures to address the identified problems of insufficient development of innovative business does not lose its relevance and determines the choice of the research topic.

To the subjects of innovative business enterprises and organizations are engaged in innovative activities.
Innovation active enterprises in the field of small and medium businesses need to evolve in today's economic conditions, since these structures are characterized by such features:
- The high level of flexibility in competitive new products, where the main factor is the rate of renewal of the products;
- Focus on the search for fundamentally new products and processes associated with high commercial and technical risk - they account for the bulk of the costs of exploration, development and development of scientific and technological innovations;
- Responsiveness to the changing needs of consumers; creating an atmosphere of intense work;
- Organizational separation from significant current production.
To identify strengths and weaknesses, opportunities and threats to the development of innovative business in Ukraine carried out SWOT-analysis, the results of which include:
- Strengths: a high level of scientific potential of the state and the training of scientific personnel with innovative potential; developed system of higher education; by elements of innovation management; the formation of innovative infrastructure facilities to meet current economic conditions; having a successful innovation and cooperation between science and business environment; the use of tools of organizational, technical and financial support for the development of public-private partnerships in innovation;
