Abstract

In the article, the authors consider the existing methods of assessing the innovative potential of the territories and offer their own to assess the innovative potential of candidate cities for the World Expo2025: Osaka, Yekaterinburg, Baku. As a result of analysis and evaluation, the innovative potential of these megacities was measured, which allowed us to identify the main differences between the candidate cities in the field of technical achievements and innovations. For the theoretical part, the concepts of territorial development, the concept of innovation management and the theory of globalization were used. Methods of research in the practical part were the analysis of statistical data, the calculation of the index of innovative potential for the city. The study resulted in an integrated assessment of the innovative potential of a developing million-plus city, which was tested on candidate cities for the World Expo2025. This assessment allows us to consider the opportunities, growth points and problems of innovative development of the largest cities in the context of globalization. The human, scientific, financial and economic potential of cities can be attributed to the most significant differences, while the information and communication component in the innovative potential of cities is assessed as equivalent. To increase the innovative potential of Yekaterinburg, it is necessary to invest both in the state and in business in science, sociocultural factors affecting the human potential, and increase the transparency of public-private decisions. An integrated assessment of the innovation potential of metropolises was proposed on the example of those cities that claimed to hold a world exhibition, which is a symbol of the era of new industrialization and technical achievements.
