The modern concept for modernization of Russia's economy, put forward by the federal executive authorities, provides for an innovation development model. It is believed that only innovation is a(b)le to solve many problems that the Russian economy faces, and first of all, the enhancement of its competitiveness. One of the problems of Russia's innovation system consists in the lack of resources and in their inefficient use in certain directions of development of innovation activity: outdated production capacities and facilities and equipment at research organizations; ageing of staff; limited access to financial resources. The availability and condition of these resources, the opportunities for their usage - in other words, the choice of innovation development strategy, all these factors determine the effectiveness of innovation activity in the region. The article provides a classification of the region's innovation strategies.
