SCIENTIFIC AND PRODUCTION CENTERS: ESSENCE, STRUCTURE, AND INSTITUTIONAL MECHANISMS
Abstract
The article examines the essence, functions, and institutional role of scientific and production centers (SPCs) in the development of domestic technologies. It analyzes their functional structure, which includes research, production, marketing, and educational components, and outlines their position within the national innovation system. Special attention is given to the context of Uzbekistan, where SPCs support import-substitution technologies, foster cooperation between science and industry, contribute to startup development, and facilitate the implementation of national strategies such as "New Industrialization" and "Uzbekistan–2030".
