Purpose: To identify features of spatial and functional localization of innovation activity of Russian regions, it is necessary to forecast its dynamics, development, and justification of directions and tools of regional innovation policy in the medium term. Research methods: comparative analysis; structuring of the information dataset – virtual clustering method; correlation and regression analysis. Results: we have proposed five indicators characterizing spatial and functional localization of regional innovation development. On the base of them, we formed virtual clusters, including regions with similar values of the parameters under study. We identified the closest representative region to its center for each cluster. Also we used the example of the Yaroslavl Region (region-representative of cluster B) to identify trends by the studied indicators and draw conclusions about the region’s forecasting and development prospects in terms of the basic parameters of innovative development.
