The article raises the problem of the formation of an innovative concept of the national economy devel opment. Indeed, in the context of global imbalances and transformation of national economies, there is a need to identify vectors that will ensure the sustainability of the economic system and provide an opportunity to build a national innovative development model based on the integrated use of all possible activators. methodology. The methods of theoretical (conceptual) generalization, comparison, synthesis, analysis were used to reveal the general provisions and determine the basic research categories: innovation, innovative type of develop ment, innovative development model, catching up and leading type of the development of national economy. findings. Highly developed countries are strengthening their dominant role through the use of new knowledge and innovation. Other countries that do not possess this knowledge and skills are dependent on them. This dependence is to pay for the benefits of civilization with cheap labor, natural resources, and other national wealth. According to the results of the study conducted, the components of the innovative concept of the national economy development are singled out. The analysis of scientific publications allowed systematizing the classification of strategies for the innova tive development of national economies. The main signs of the innovation type of economic development are estab lished. The classification of methods of state regulation of innovation activity in different countries of the world is provided. A model for evaluating the effectiveness of conducting innovation activities in a country is proposed. originality. The conducted scientific study made it possible to identify a list of conditions affecting the innovative concept of the development of national economy. The speed of transition to the innovative development of the econ omy largely depends on the state, since it is the state that can influence the processes of generating innovations and their commercialization. This made it possible to outline the transformation system and to determine support necessary for its normal functioning as well as to identify the vector that will ensure the sustainability of the economic system and will allow building a national innovative development model. Based on the proposed model for evaluating the effectiveness of innovative activities in a country, it is possible to establish which components are weak nesses or, conversely, strengths. The information obtained serves as a ground for determining the innovative concept of the development of national economy. Practical value. The results of the study can be used by practitioners, scientists, government officials for the forma tion and implementation of the innovative concept of the national economy development in government programs and strategies.
