A review of the episodes of 2017–2019, which suggest that the policy of technological mercantelism is becoming more and more distinct and rigid forms, is presented. Especially frankly, it manifests itself in the example of relations between the USA and China, the USA and Russia.The history of the formation and evolution of technological protectionism, starting from the seventeenth century, is considered to the present day. It has been suggested that technological colonization, which is carried out by the technology-leading countries with respect to the countries of the technological periphery, is the highest evolutionary form of technological protectionism.","PeriodicalId":407516,"journal":{"name":"The Economics of Science","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-08-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115000994","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is shown that the industries in which KFW is most actively and dynamically used are the Internet, mobile communications and healthcare. The maximum attention of corporate venture funds is attracted by start-ups in the early stages of raising capital, more than half of all venture capital deals are made at the Seed / Angel (seed stage) and Early Stage stages (the second stage of attracting start-up capital). The most common exit from venture capital deals during 2014–2018. For most industries, the redemption share of the FAC is a management startup (Management Buyout). It was concluded that Russia is poorly included in the use of corporate venture capital as a tool for building technological capacity: the country’s share in the number of corporate venture capital transactions in 2018 is 1.9% of the global total, and the total investment of Russian enterprises estimated at only 0.45% of the global total.
