Recentemente, è possibile vedere il termine "innovazione" quasi tutto il tempo nei programmi televisivi, il presidente della Federazione Russa ne parla sempre, ed è per questo che egli ha proposto la creazione di un centro innovativo SKOLKOVO, che è un analogo della Silicon Valley. Il futuro dell'economia russa, che ha un importante potenziale intellettuale, è associato con lo sfruttamento di questo potenziale. Gli investimenti in attività innovative sono caratterizzati da molti problemi e limitazioni. In Russia il volume degli investimenti nel settore innovativo non è elevato. Gli investitori Russi non sono pronti a investire il loro denaro in progetti rischiosi. Questo studio presenta la valutazione dei progetti innovativi che permette di effettuare la selezione dei progetti nella fase iniziale del loro sviluppo. Gli obiettivi principali dello studio sono: 1. valutare il potenziale commerciale di progetti innovativi, espressa in termini di caratteristiche interne allo stadio iniziale di sviluppo nell'ambiente esterno utilizzando gli strumenti di base delle tecniche moderne; 2. verificare i concetti teorici riguardanti lo sviluppo di start-up in Russia, espressa in progetti innovativi; 3. studiare i problemi e le limitazioni associate con lo sviluppo di start-up in Russia. L'algoritmo dell'analisi pratica delle start-up 'è stato sviluppato al fine di fornire un'analisi completa del reale stato delle start-up in Russia. In principio il questionario riguardante le start-up 'è stato sviluppato in modo da contribuire a condurre un'analisi approfondita del potenziale interno delle start-up studiate e la loro posizione nel contesto esterno. Sono condotte analisi dei fattori e dei limiti dello sviluppo start-up dal colloquio diretto, nel processo di "ricerca sul campo" dei manager di start-up. La ricerca sul campo è stata condotta secondo i piani sviluppati. La graduatoria finale dei progetti è stata effettuata sulla base delle informazioni ottenute. Le caratteristiche aggiuntive come il livello di completamento di R&S, il tempo previsto prima di usi commerciali e le potenzialità di un team di progetto sono anch'esse state prese in considerazione. Durante l'indagine dei project manager di startup, selezionati per questo studio, i seguenti problemi e vincoli nella fase attuale dello sviluppo innovativo dell'economia in Russia sono stati identificati: la mancanza di un sostegno finanziario, la vulnerabilità della proprietà intellettuale, i problemi di personale, mancanza di domanda dei prodotti russi innovativi. Tuttavia, solo 3 progetti di avvio con il punteggio più alto corrispondono al gruppo di requisiti in base al metodo previsto. Queste aziende sono state raccomandate da parte della direzione del Parco Scientifico per ulteriori finanziamenti.

Abstract
Recently, the word “innovation” is possible to see almost all the time in TV programs, president of Russian Federation always tells about it, that is why he has proposed the creation of innovative center Skolkovo, which is a certain analogue of Silicon Valley. Prospects of the Russian economy, which has the tremendous Intellectual potential, are associated with actualization of this potential. Investment in innovative activity is connected with many problems and limitations. In Russia the volume of investments in innovative sector is not high. Russian investors are not ready to invest their money in risky projects. This study presents the assessment of innovative projects which allows to conduct the projects selection at the initial stage of their development. The main goals of the study are: 1. to assess the commercial potential of innovative projects, expressed in the internal characteristics at early stage of startups development in the external environment using the basic tools of modern techniques; 2. to verify the theoretical concepts concerning the startups development in Russia, expressed in innovative projects; 3. to study the problems and limitations associated with startups development in Russia. The algorithm of startups’ practical analysis has been developed in order to provide comprehensive analysis of the real state of startups in Russia. In the beginning the startups’ questionnaire has been developed which helped to conduct deep analysis of the internal potential of studied startups and their position in the external environment. Investigation of the factors and limitations of startups development is conducted by the direct interview, in the process of "field research" of startups’ managers. Field research was conducted according to developed plan. The final ranking of projects has been carried out on the basis of obtained information. The additional characteristics such as level of R&D completion, expected time before commercial using and potential of a project team have been taken into account too. During the survey of startups’ project managers, selected for this study, the following problems and constraints at the present stage of the innovative economy development in Russia are identified: lack of sustained financial support, vulnerability of intellectual property, personnel problems, lack of demand for Russian innovative products.
