The article is devoted to the assessment of the level of innovativeness of the Ukrainian
economy in comparison with the innovativeness of the economies of the European Union
countries based on the Global Innovation Index 2023 and the justification of ways to increase
it in the course of advancing to full membership in the EU. In the course of the study, the
hypothesis that there is a close connection between the level of the country’s development,
which is measured by the GDP per capita indicator in the model, and the absolute value of the
global innovation index was confirmed (correlation coefficient is 0.868). However, Ukraine,
which belongs to the group with a below-average GDP per capita indicator, is ahead of more
than 30 countries with high and above-average GDP per capita indicators according to the
Global innovation index. This strengthens the hope that the creation of the necessary conditions
for the realization of innovative potential will be able to accelerate economic growth and lead
to a significant increase in GDP in the post-war period. The comparison of the global index
of innovativeness of Ukraine with the similar indicator of the EU countries carried out in the
article showed a certain lag of our country, which arose in recent years, which can be explained
by Russian aggression. However, this lag is not fundamental and can be overcome in a short
time. Moreover, among the candidate countries for joining the EU, Ukraine ranks among the
top three in terms of innovativeness. Therefore, such a lag should not become an obstacle
on the way to the EU. A more detailed analysis of individual indicators that form the global
index of innovativeness revealed significant heterogeneity of the innovative environment
of the Ukrainian economy, because its rating according to these indicators ranges from 1 to
130. Ukraine’s achievements in performance indicators, which are calculated in relation to
GDP, are quite good, which once again confirmed the conclusion that there is a disproportion
between the potential and actual volumes of production. The biggest lag is recorded in the
indicators related to the business environment, its stability and the legal norms that regulate it.
A serious problem for Ukraine is the lack of market and organizational infrastructure. These
issues should become the object of special attention of the state on the way to the EU.
