Regional models of import substitution processes in the context of modern economic realities (on the example of the Samara region)

Purpose:  is to develop regional import substitution models on the example of the Samara region.Methods: the paper uses a systematic approach, a method of evaluation and scientific abstractions, a method of classification and systematization, methods of information analysis and synthesis, a method of data visualization.Results:  the author's toolkit of "innovative superiority of domestic products-an analogue of imported ones" has been developed, in the form of a complex of technological advantages available at the enterprise that are not available to others, forming the basis for rapid growth and development of innovations. The authors' hypothesis on the use by enterprises of the region of certain import substitution models based on the tools for the formation of innovative superiority of domestic products-an analogue of imported products, and tools for ensuring national security and overcoming anti-Russian sanctions on the production of products is put forward and proved. It is recommended to include measures to improve this policy, ensuring the development of the market of domestic products based on innovations. A program  is proposed to implement for the development of national and regional innovation systems, the formation of regional and sectoral centers of innovation and technological development, the introduction of technologies of excellence and advanced development to ensure the development of the market of domestic industrial products on an innovative basis and meet domestic demand.Conclusions and Relevance: based on the analysis of the activities of industrial enterprises in the conditions of anti-Russian sanctions, it is concluded that regional policy should promote the production of competitive and innovative products, the introduction of energy and resource-saving technologies at industrial enterprises, and support the weakest enterprises with a high level of imported components. The authors of the proposed regional models of import substitution are presented by the interpretation of the really functioning regional models. In the approach proposed by the authors to the study of regional models of import substitution in industry, models of the scale and dynamics of these processes are substantiated, reflecting the production of products using domestic analogues of production, replacing imported technologies, using indicators of the domestic market, with further access to national and world markets.
