Mechanism of reducing technological gap by university in investment policy structure

External challenges in the national economy and the transition of the higher education system to intensive training of future engineers affect several important areas - the structure of innovative development of universities and investment policy aimed at supporting innovation in the field of education. The relevance of preserving innovative potential is especially noticeable in regional universities, whose technological development resources may differ.

Aim. To study is to examine the problem of the technological gap in the structure of regional higher education and modern directions of scientific research in solving it.

Research methods. The research used methods of deduction, problem setting, deduction and synthesis.

Results. The example of state universities of the Chechen Republic clearly shows that universities with different needs for innovative development can operate in the region. For investment policy at the regional level, such a situation means the need to develop a universal solution to avoid a technological gap, since this problem largely characterizes the economic independence of the universities in the context of their inevitable interaction with technology. The article presents the structure of the components of a single mechanism for reducing the technological gap in the universities' investment policy.

Conclusions. The use of the structure by a regional university will allow, within the framework of investment policy, to establish a closer connection between the regional economy's demand for qualified personnel, the educational opportunities of the university in accordance with the profile of study, and innovations.
