Subject The article considers urgent issues of building the innovation infrastructure of high-tech clusters, and highlights specific features of using its resource capabilities in modern conditions to improve the efficiency of business activities. Objectives The objectives include developing the theoretical basis of the resource-based approach to innovation infrastructure entities; analyzing the processes of high-tech cluster formation and problems of building the innovation infrastructure; identifying the factors of competitive advantage; working out practical recommendations on developing the resources of high-tech companies and using the potential of innovation infrastructure entities. Methods The study applies a systems approach, the resource-oriented theory, system and structural analyses and synthesis, and observation. Results To increase the innovation activity of high-tech clusters, we formulate urgent tasks aimed at a system formation of their innovation infrastructure. Based on the key provisions of the resource-oriented theory, we develop the conceptual system of resource base evolution of high-tech companies, which is focused on achieving competitive advantages. The study reveals the specific features of using the resource base of the innovation infrastructure. They include different effects, dependencies and threats, which need to be considered to improve the efficiency of business activities of high-tech clusters. Conclusions and Relevance The study makes a definite contribution to the development of theoretical bases of the formation of innovation infrastructure of high-tech clusters from the perspective of the resource concept. It also helps improve the practice of creating the new organizational elements to enhance the competitive ability of economic entities.
