Background: Industry 4.0 involves transition from industrial organisation of production to the dominance of post-industrial technological paradigms. Magnetic levitation is one of the promising technologies of transport. Aim: to justify the choice of institutional forms, which encourage promotion of innovative technologies (including magnetic levitation technologies) in the real economy of Russia. Methods: to achieve the goal, such general research methods as analogy, comparative analysis, generalisation, hypothetical method, historical method, and system’s theory have been used. Results: the relevance of carrying out fundamental foresight to determine perspectives of using maglev systems in the national economy has been substantiated. It has also been suggested that, in order to intensively promote maglev systems innovative projects, a special fund for their introduction into the real sectors of the national economy through civil institutions should be established. Finally, options, and developments in certain cases, of elaboration of target programmes initiated by the authorities are considered. Conclusion: the realisation of the proposed measures through civil institutions and the authorities will result in determining the longer-term prospects for maglev technologies market development. The foresight project will provide opportunity to actuate the society on the issue of maglev systems development, considering differences between own interests of the groups involved, and to outline pixelated scenarios of the forthcoming future in terms of maglev transport as the product of the Industry 4.0 and transition to post-industrial technological paradigm predominance. |
