Innovative projects, unlike traditional investment projects, are often characterized by a fairly high level of uncertainty, and therefore, in most cases, require unique approaches and methodologies in the process of analysis and evaluation, often using tools such as real options to adequately manage the existing risks and uncertainties that are inherent in such projects.

A project should be called “innovative” if its scope, budget, implementation timeframe, and implementation technology cannot be clearly defined with normal management precision based on existing practical experience. This results in an innovation (a new method or process, device, material, etc.).

The conclusions and practical recommendations of this thesis were used by such enterprises as Modex Ukraine, UNIT.City Innovation Park, and the National University of Kyiv-Mohyla Academy.
