Abstract
Within the framework of this article, the problems of the impact of innovations on the investment process in the agro-industrial complex are considered. It is noted that innovations are a factor that significantly optimizes business processes and, consequently, has an impact on the entire management system of the enterprise. However, innovation requires high efficiency of the investment process and sufficient investments. To identify the specifics of the interrelationships between innovation and the investment process in the agroindustrial complex of the UK, we conducted a statistical analysis of data based on the StavStat data array and the audit aggregator. A sample of 80 agricultural enterprises was created that are actively engaged in the implementation of innovations in the period from 2021 to 2023. Using factorial and correlation analysis, the relationship between innovation and investment processes was revealed, as well as the structure of the factors of the innovation process that influence the investment process. Correlation analysis based on Spearman’s criterion was used as the main method. It is concluded that innovations significantly affect the investment process and vice versa, while the dichotomous impact of innovations on the stability of the investment cycle is a serious challenge to the industrial transformation of the agro-industrial complex, which, however, is stopped by government support for the agro-industrial complex, where negative trends in the reproduction of investment activity are perceived as a risk.
