In this article the mechanisms of biotechnologies support in the forest sector are viewed. Forest biotechnology has big perspectives in Russia, allowing fulfilling various socio-economic tasks -from creation of new medicinal drugs to new technologies of growing forests and improving the ecology of forest ecosystems.It has been established that methods of innovational biotechnologies in forest-based sector are at the stage of scientific research of sectorial scientific and research organizations. In order to successfully implement biotechnologies in forestry, support and greater attention from the government are needed.One of the mechanisms of supporting forest biotechnologies and innovational development of forest sector could be the creation of Technical research Center for development, scaling, and commercialization of biotechnologies. The place and role of the Center in regional forest cluster is established. A tool of creation of the Center should be a public private partnership which allows combining and harmonizing the interests of the government, scientific and business societies in the sphere of building of bioeconomics in the Russian Federation. The authors emphasize that these Centers of scaling would allow providing full-scale development of bioindustry in regions of Russia in all sectors of biotechnology.

The aim of the study is to develop methods for assessing the efficiency of innovation and investment projects in the energy sector of the economy. As a result of the analysis of existing approaches, the modern problems of assessment are revealed, and possible ways of their solution are identified. A comprehensive analysis of the impact of innovation projects was carried out, and indicators and criteria for assessing their efficiency were determined. The assessment methods were structured on the basis of a combined approach, adequate to the target orientation of the projects, and a set of methodological recommendations was developed for assessing the efficiency of innovation and investment projects in the energy sector.

In the context of globalization, the importance of improvement of the economy competitiveness is increasing. In order to develop the Russian industries, federal authorities have taken steps to implement the program approach. At the same time, among a wide variety of industries, the shipbuilding industry is recognized as one of the priority. The article identifies the trends in development of shipbuilding industry in Russia and abroad - investment activity. There has been considered the state, problems and priority directions of development of shipbuilding in the context of the investment policy implemented within the framework of the existing program of the Russian Federation for the development of shipbuilding. The direct and indirect influence of investments on the branches of the economy is analyzed, examples of attracting investments in the context of free placement of investments or limiting their presence in a country are given. The results of the state policy in the field of shipbuilding have been considered.The special features of shipbuilding production, the instability of the external environment have determined the specifics of investment in the industry. The analysis of investment mechanisms into the shipbuilding industry has been made on the example of tools of the state support at the level of the entities of the Russian Federation. The characteristics of the form of state support for special economic zone on the example of the “Lotos” economic zone (the Astrakhan region) have been considered. The economic zone in the Astrakhan region, due its geopolitical location and economic potential, will base on enterprises of shipbuilding complex; in this connection, there have been formulated conditions for characterizing efficiency of the special economic zone development. There have been shown the results of the general economic effect obtained due to investments in the region.
