Abstract: Like many of the post-soviet countries, Russia has entered the new century targeting at creation of competitive economy, based on knowledge and innovation with strong emphasis at the role of the regions. At the same time, the western world has entered an era of a new approach to innovation, shifting from a closed to an open innovation (OI) paradigm. This paper focuses on the development of an integrated regional open innovation system (ROIS) and introduces a framework for the analysis of OI implementation within regional innovation system in Russia. St Petersburg region of Russia is studied as an example for the developed framework. This paper contributes the ROIS and related constituting concepts by offering a framework for studying and comparing ROISs in Russia.
