Innovation potential of regions in Northern Eurasia.
Northern territories (including the Arctic) occupy over 80% of Russian area. Development of these regions is based on ?resource? model, while other approaches have been ignored because of severe environmental conditions. The aim of this study was to assess an ability of northern regions to generate...

Northern territories (including the Arctic) occupy over 80% of Russian area. Development of these regions is based on ?resource? model, while other approaches have been ignored because of severe environmental conditions. The aim of this study was to assess an ability of northern regions to generate and diffuse innovations. The study was methodologically divided into three stages. The objective of the first and the second stage was to compare innovation capacities of northern and other Russian regions. An ability to create new knowledge is described by a number of indexes, the ability to extend and apply innovations - by a logistic function from model for innovation diffusion. This work confirmed the hypothesis of high concentration of the potential in major agglomerations and research centers, including Siberian cities: Tomsk, Novosibirsk, and Krasnoyarsk. Some arctic regions were characterized by high creative potential, but low rate of diffusion: Krasnoyarsk, Magadan, Sakha. The first fact can be explained by conservation of the Soviet scientific infrastructure and by initiative and mutual assistance of northern communities.
