Abstract

Development of new technologies will determine the future economic progress. It is the innovations that are the main constituent of the production efficiency growth, therefore they can usher in a new era in the economic development of any country. The study of the relevant literature resources showed gaps in the exploration of this problem despite its relevance. In this connection, the article aims to research the basic trends in high technologies world market development. A number of important aspects are pointed out in the basic trends of the above-mentioned development. Information technologies play a key role in the high tech sphere. Progress in the area of the information technologies creates the products that allow to get the most prompt and complete information on any subject. Today one should be able to orient oneself in the flow of incoming information and pick out the most important data for maintaining one's personal professional competitiveness. The establishment and improvement of technopark and technopolis systems is an important factor in the development of high tech sector in world economy. Special foundations are required to finance scientific technical projects, creation of consulting structures that give assistance to the innovation companies in finding and dealing with foreign partners. The databases on new projects could also assist sellers and customers in making connection. Authors believe that further worldwide improvement of the educational system is laying down the basis for the innovation sphere development. Today the concept of continuing education and retraining of labour force is becoming popular. Authors outline three most prominent centres of high technologies (the USA, Japan, Western Europe) that have emerged and mainly compete in the high tech sphere thus stimulating the economic progress.
