Subject. The article discusses the knowledge economy. Objectives. The purpose is to theoretically substantiate the role of tools for scientific creativity activation in the transition to knowledge economy in the Russian Federation. Methods. The study employs general scientific methods of cognition, economic analysis, content analysis, comparison, generalization, philosophical reflection. Results. In the process of scientific creativity, the study distinguished three stages and conditions for their implementation. Each stage takes place within the national innovation system (NIS), and its effectiveness depends on conditions within this system: the technological structure, the value code of the population, the level of development of the national economy. The analysis of stages of scientific creativity within the Russian NIS enabled to identify tools for its activation. Conclusions. The study of the genesis of the concept of "knowledge economy" helped conclude that the knowledge economy is the highest stage of innovative development of the economy, where the main resource for ensuring competitiveness is investment in human capital, and investment yield is ensured by the results of scientific creativity.
