The purpose of the article is the theoretical justification and development of scientific and methodological provisions and practical recommendations for the development of public-private partnership in order to ensure the modernization of the economy on an innovative basis. The methodological basis is the general and special methods: historical method; method of scientific abstraction (in order to generalize the conceptual foundations of the study); methods of analysis and synthesis - in the study of the structure of the innovation system in public-private partnership; induction and deduction (to study approaches to the definition of innovation in public-private partnership); method of comparison (in order to justify the application of foreign experience of innovation in public-private partnership in our country); methods of grouping and systematization (in order to classify, identify factors of innovation development, factors of formation of the national innovation system); statistical methods (in order to analyze the dynamics of innovation in the economy of Ukraine, trends in the formation of innovation infrastructure).

In many countries, public-private partnerships have proven effective in modernizing the economy and have long been a domestic policy priority. The practical significance of the results is that the provisions, conclusions and recommendations have a practical orientation and can be used to improve the efficiency of regulation of innovation processes in terms of public-private partnership. Value/originality. The peculiarity of the proposed definition is that public-private partnership is an effective tool of state regulation only if conditions of competition between private sector entities for the right to participate in a particular PPP project are created.
