Definition of the Concept of High-Tech, Innovative Small and Medium-Sized Businesses
( Pp. 129-134)

Abstract: At the moment, the development of high-tech and innovative small and medium-sized enterprises is receiving great attention from the Government of the Russian Federation.
The purpose of writing the article is to form definitions of high-tech, innovative small and medium-sized enterprises, because it is impossible to take measures to support and develop these small and medium-sized enterprises without identifying their distinctive features. The current regulatory documents and programs do not reflect the specifics of the activities of high-tech and innovative small and medium-sized enterprises. The specifics of the activities of high-tech and innovative small and medium-sized enterprises don’t reflected in the current regulatory documents. The legislation defines only «small innovative enterprises». In the state support of small and medium-sized high-tech, innovative entrepreneurship there is no targeting.
A new support program No. 469 dated 03/25/2022 on the provision of preferential loans to small and medium-sized enterprises of high-tech industries was considered.
The conclusions obtained during the study allowed us to form the concepts of high-tech enterprises, innovative subjects of small and medium-sized businesses.
