Ch. organized on the basis of educational institutions. In particular, the US government actively supports the creation of funds financed forwarded the initial periods of small innovative enterprises. The US government encourages the establishment of research centers and venture capital funds, and, most effective of which the first five years may be fully or partially financed from the federal budget. In the United States there are such state structures. Targeted budget financing is in the form: irrevocable subsidies, contracts for the development of new products and technologies and the provision of soft loans.

In addition, in the present circumstances there is a low innovation performance of students and young scientists, through lack of knowledge and experience in the organization and management of business innovation projects in high technology and high risks of these projects.
