Abstract

Today, the development of the Arctic territories is in the interests focus of almost all powers in the region. This is primarily due to the fact that the Arctic region is gaining strategic importance for strengthening the national security of nations. Entrepreneurship is a necessary condition for the development of these territories. Therefore, both Russian and foreign researchers pay attention to this issue. The article discusses the issues of improving the small and medium entrepreneurship ecosystem. This is one of the most important factors for the effective development of the Komi Republic Arctic territories. A scientific study was conducted to identify the problems of the small and medium entrepreneurship development in the Arctic. The study revealed internal and external factors affecting the development of small and medium entrepreneurship. The purpose of this article is to identify problems, external and internal factors influencing of the small and medium-sized businesses development, as well as to assess the management effectiveness of the state support system and the highly intelligent and high-tech industries development potential in the Arctic territories. The works of foreign and domestic scientists in the field of entrepreneurial ecosystems and their management, including modern research on ensuring effective management of the ecosystem of small and medium-sized businesses, formed the methodological basis of this study. The main research methods were theoretical generalization of the problem knowledge state; methods of graphical modeling; statistical data analysis and forecasting. The study assessed the existing mechanism effectiveness for supporting small and medium entrepreneurship in the region and analyzed the factors that affect the possibility of creating highly intelligent and high-tech industries in the region. Recommendations have been developed to improve the management of the small and medium entrepreneurship ecosystem based on these results. These recommendations can form the basis for the necessary adjustments to existing program and strategic documents and the development of missing elements of the strategic planning system in the Arctic zone of the Northern macroregion.
