In particular, there was an increase in the development and transfer for implementation in production of competitive technologies (57 units). The number of patents for inventions (236) and articles by scientists in journals included in Scopus and Web of Science (4017) also increased. In addition, the share of new and improved high-tech products (30.8%) and the share of researchers under the age of 39 (55.55%) increased.
