A cooperative-adaptive model of technological leadership for the Russian economy

This article proposes a cooperative-adaptive model of technological leadership, reflecting the transformation of economic institutions and mechanisms for innovative development in Russia under conditions of geo-economic turbulence. Unlike resource-competitive and directive models, this concept views technological leadership as a multi-level process of aligning strategies among the state, industries, and enterprises, which ensures self-learning and adaptation of the economic system. The theoretical foundation of the research is based on the tenets of endogenous growth theory, evolutionary economics, institutionalism, and dynamic capabilities theory. The synthesis of these frameworks allows for explaining the phenomenon of leadership in the context of uncertainty and the fragmentation of global markets. The authors introduce the concepts of adaptive technological equilibrium, cooperative missions, and institutional sandboxes as tools for the evolutionary maturity of ecosystems. A comparison with Russia's Concept of Technological Development (2023) demonstrates that the proposed approach broadens its scope, imparting a systemic and network character. The results of the study have practical significance for developing strategies of technological sovereignty, forming next-generation missions, and designing national technological development corridors. The authors declare no conflicts of interests.
