This article examines the issues of optimizing the routing of transportation of high-tech transport companies as one of the important factors in the development of the country's regions. The authors studied the methods of optimization of logistics flows, studied the experience of modern domestic companies providing logistics services. In addition, it is proved that high-tech transport companies, optimizing their activities based on the use of innovative technological solutions, contribute to the economic and social development of the country's regions. The calculations were carried out by the authors using simulation modeling in the AnyLogistix environment. Practical results were obtained that make it possible to determine the optimal location of distribution centers relative to the time spent on delivery and the cost of delivery. The authors have proved that economic and mathematical methods and digital technologies are the basis for optimizing the routing of high-tech transport companies, whose activities in turn serve as the basis for the competitiveness of regions in the unified economic complex of the country.

The aim of the study is to investigate and analyse the different aspects of the innovation development of the North-Western Federal District (the Russian Federation). The concepts of innovations, innovation development, innovative economy, knowledge-based economy, state innovation system, innovation ecosystem and regional innovation development have been defined. Also, author’s definition of the innovative development of a region was proposed. Documents regulating the innovation strategy and innovation policy of the North-Western Federal District have been analysed. The justification of the undertaken topic comes from the need for defining strong areas of the innovation potential of the North-Western Federal District and requirement for consideration of the regional innovation system elements of the North-Western Federal District such as knowledge-producing environment, knowledge transfer mechanisms, business environment and state, and its innovation infrastructure. The methodology of the study involves studying of the theoretical framework of the innovations, quantitative and qualitative indicators of the innovation development of the North-Western Federal District, and analysis and synthesis of these data. The main results of the study are: innovative development of the region correlates with the general direction of the country’s innovative development; the regional innovation system includes the same macroblocks as the national innovation system does; the North-Western region includes the well-developed innovation infrastructure and all elements of the innovation system. Conclusions on the direction of the innovation development of the North-Western Federal District towards the world’s advanced countries with innovative economy or economy of knowledge as well as on the role of the innovation factor in the regional development have been drawn.
