Abstract: The purpose of the study is to reveal specific features of modern EU innovation policy in the context of its focus on sustainable European development and to conduct an assessment of the parameters of national innovation ecosystems of the EU member states with different innovation potential and Ukraine from the standpoint of their influence on the innovative development of countries worldwide. With the use of the correlation-regression analysis, the hypothesis of changing the parameters of national innovation ecosystems that affect the innovation of the EU member states and Ukraine in the global context depending on the level of their productivity and innovation potential was reiterated. The factors that have the greatest impact on the ranking of the countries in the Global Innovation Index, depending on which group the countries under study belong to according to the classification of the European Innovation Scoreboard, were identified. It was revealed that the set of such factors in each group of countries varies and has a different degree of influence on the level of their innovation development. Based on the results of the assessment, taking into account the need for a speedy post-war reconstruction of Ukraine, policy recommendations were made for Ukraine. Their implementation will ensure the systemic influence of the state on the national innovation ecosystem of the country.
