Introduction In modern scientific literature, a considerable number of works have been published, which cover a variety of problems of Ukrainian entrepreneurship, offer methodological approaches, managerial technologies and measures that promote the efficiency and development of small business in Ukraine. Particular attention is paid to issues of cluster formation, the formation of new forms of associations, the organization of business incubators and business accelerators. Such activity is connected with the crisis of Ukrainian education, the lack of business universities, the low level of cooperation with business and government, industry, and regional authorities.Purpose. The purpose of the study is to determine the principles of the formation of business incubators in innovation and educational clusters, taking into account the problems and prospects of the development of regions of Ukraine and future changes in the activities of higher educational institutions (HEIs).Methods. The urgency of the mentioned problem in Ukraine is determined by the fact that the creation and development of business incubators, especially on educational institutions platforms, is one of the directions of activation, improvement and regulation of activity in the paradigm of relations "population-business education-power". It is also an active form: supporting small and medium-sized businesses; accelerating the growth of the potential of entrepreneurship with an innovative orientation; conformity of processes of cluster formation with European standards; optimizing the links between government, education and business.Results. Business incubator in innovation and educational clusters of any region of Ukraine is a subdivision of a higher educational institution that helps citizens organize, implement and plan the kind of economic activity in the business environment of the region and the country. The purpose of creating a business incubator in the universities is to help create a business and adapt to the information society, the future innovation cluster economy in the region, to qualitatively and timely satisfy customers (first of all students and teachers) with qualitative information about the Ukrainian business environment and business characteristics. Business incubator development programs acquire the character of a partnership between government organizations and the private sector on the basis of mutual benefit. Originality. The article suggests stages of implementation and implementation of a business incubator in innovation and educational clusters of the region, the concept of creating a business incubator on the basis of a higher educational institution in the region, an algorithm for commercializing the idea of implementing a business incubator in a higher education institution.Conclusion. Prospects for the development of the regions of Ukraine in the formation of business incubators in innovation and educational clusters are the expansion of jobs and changes in the structure of the labor market, a comprehensive improvement of the investment climate, the formation of a system of new interregional communications and the improvement of the attractiveness of the image of the region. The experience of operating business incubators in developed countries shows that, with relatively insignificant financial investments, a promisingly organized and managed business incubator can help create hundreds of business environment actors, that is, thousands of new jobs.

Introduction. Today, quite a number of researchers of integration processes pay attention to the fact that they are closely related to such a phenomenon as the concentration of resources. As concentration (as well as integration) is a multi-level phenomenon, it can affect individual enterprises, companies and organizations (micro level), individual industries and sectoral markets, including commodity, financial, labor markets (meso level), regions, national economies and their territories. (macro level), the world economy (megalevel). In this regard, the processes of concentration in modern scientific publications are studied and analyzed at almost all levels of the economic system.Purpose. The purpose of the article is to substantiate the methods of determining and assessing the concentration of resources of territories in the development of integration processes.Results. The results of the study are to determine the feasibility of using the market concentration index and the Herfindahl-Hirschman index to assess the concentration of regional resources and develop ways to address their shortcomings. The market concentration index is one of the simplest and one of the first indicators, which began to be used by economists to analyze market structures. No wonder this indicator deserves to be actively used to assess the concentration and concentration of regional resources. In turn, the Herfindahl-Hirschman index occupies the position of the main characteristic (market structure, market concentration), which is widely used by governments around the world in the practice of antitrust regulation of the United States, Europe and other countries.Originality. The originality of the article lies in the proposal to eliminate the shortcomings of indicators to assess the concentration of regional resources, which previously scientists have not done. Comparing the possibilities of using the two considered indices to assess the concentration and concentration of regional resources, it is necessary to take into account the following features: the disadvantage of the market concentration index is its "insensitivity" to different options for distribution of shares between regions; the number of market participants (number of regions) for which it is necessary to calculate to get the most accurate result remains uncertain; the use of this indicator requires additional comparisons of different options for its calculation. As for the Herfindahl-Hirschman index, it allows you to neutralize the shortcomings of other indicators and get more reliable results; takes into account the share of each of the market participants; its disadvantage is that when calculating the squares of market shares, more weight is given to the indicators of larger regions, and less - respectively, smaller.Conclusion. Thus, the outlined provisions and generalized theoretical and methodological approaches require their practical implementation in modern conditions of solving the problems of regional studies of Ukraine. In particular, this focuses on the use of the market concentration index and the Herfindahl-Hirschman index to assess the concentration of regional resources. The identified shortcomings of these indicators should be eliminated by using the proposed methods to eliminate them. Further research should focus on the application of these methods and indicators to assess the processes of concentration, the level of concentration of resources of the regions of Ukraine.

Among the priority issues that need to be addressed is the issue of quality training of civil servants. Since most developed European countries have significant positive experience in training specialists in public administration and civil service, it is worth paying attention to the peculiarities of vocational training in countries where the key role of the state in effective organization of professional development of government personnel has led to successful socio-economic development. Peculiarities of the formation and functioning of the civil service in countries of different state systems and practices of training civil servants are largely determined by the special development of these states. It is established that the French public service is one of the most stable and organized in the world, and therefore is a benchmark for the organization and implementation of civil service relations for the modern state. The system of public administration of the Republic of Poland is formed on the example of the public service of France, in addition, Poland is one of the closest neighbors of Ukraine, and also became an example in the decentralization reform for our country. After analyzing the foreign experience of training qualified civil servants, we came to the conclusion that it can be grouped into three concepts: 1) the concept of specialized training; 2) the concept of multidisciplinary learning; 3) a concept that is focused on the individual. Analyzing research and international practices, we agree with theorists who define three dominant models: English (a combination of business and public administration), German (based on legal education, which is complemented by training and education in the system of advanced training for civil servants lower levels) and French (provides for a state-centralized system of training a small highly qualified elite, provided by the National School of Public Administration).
