Abstract

The article traces the development of the industrial innovation policy of the United States of America from 2020 to the present. The prerequisites for a possible change in this policy after the new US President takes office in January 2025 are analyzed. Particular attention is paid to promising areas of cooperation and experience that can be used to shape Ukraine's science, technology, innovation and industrial policy.
