The goal of this article is the systematic analysis of organizational economic backgrounds, and scientific study of approaches to advancement of theoretical and methodological principles of formation of innovation-enabling environment in industry.The results of the analysis. A comparative analysis of the innovation activity of Ukraine, the EU and other countries of the world was produced.
