Annotation:  The paper considers a role of innovations and innovative strategies in economy of the West European countries. The influence of the national innovation system on the country’s economic development under the present conditions is demonstrated. We describe the main features of the West European model of innovative development. The legislative bases, structures, goals, functions, peculiarities and evolution paths of innovation system of the Scandinavian countries and the Great Britain as a typical example of the West European model of innovative development are presented. In the theory and practice at the present, there are no universal constructive recipes for building and developing a national innovation system. It is shown that the national peculiarities as well as the general objectives of the national science and technology policy determine the formation and functionalization of an innovation system in each country. We substantiate the expediency of studying the experience of creation and improvement of national innovation systems of industrially developed countries for building the innovation system of the Russian Federation.
