Abstract:
The article focuses on the fact of underestimating engineering organizations in the regulatory framework and statistical accounting as an important component of infrastructure support for regional innovation processes. The systemic problems of participation of engineering organizations in the intensification of the processes under study are highlighted, and measures to address them are identified. The aim of the work is to substantiate the hypothesis of the underestimation of engineering organizations as components of infrastructure support of regional innovation processes in Ukraine and clarify the real role of these organizations. The possibility of using performance indicators of engineering organizations as those for identifying the trend of de-industrialization of regions and the national economy is specified. A downturn in the number of employees in engineering organizations and the number of the organizations, which indicates deterioration in infrastructure support for regional innovation processes and decrease in their intensity level, is revealed. The real role of these organizations in regional innovation processes is clarified; the need for their integration with scientific organizations and each other in terms of creating databases and coordinating the implementation of scientific work, as well as improving the statistical accounting of infrastructure support for regional innovation processes in the direction of detailed coverage of engineering industry indicators by region is justified. This allows improving the quality of monitoring state support for regional innovation processes. In the proposed scheme of co-operation of engineering organizations and scientific organizations, the former should become the commissioners of the work aimed at practical implementation of innovative ideas in the design and estimate documentation.

Keywords: engineering organizations, regional innovation processes, infrastructure support for regional innovation processes.
