Theoretical Approaches to Classifying Transformative Investments in the Economic Space of the Region

The article considers theoretical approaches to the classification of transformative investments implemented in the economic space of the region. The relevance of the research topic is due, in our opinion, to the need to systematize the relatively new concept of "transformative investments" for Russian realities, taking into account their specifics.The purpose of the study is to create a scientifically based classification of transformative investments. The objectives of the study are determined by the set goal and provide for the formation of classification groups and signs of transformative investments.The scientific and practical significance of the work lies in the fact that a reasonable classification according to the selected criteria allows us to develop certain approaches to the analysis of transformative projects, taking into account their specifics when evaluating effectiveness.

The results of the conducted research provide for the compilation of a classification of transformative investments based on the data presented in scientific discourse. Based on the results of the study, it was concluded that this classification reflects the specifics of transformative investments, which consist in their impact on the economic space of the region and can be further supplemented and expanded. The scientific novelty of the work lies in the fact that the author for the first time made an attempt to classify this type of investment, also called "impact investments", which allows taking into account their specifics not only at the micro level, but also at the level of the subjects of the Russian Federation. At the moment, the author has not found such a classification in scientific discourse that allows reflecting the essential characteristics of transformative investments.
