regions: an adapted economic model taking into account territorial features and new mechanisms for
stimulating entrepreneurial initiatives.

Methodology. The article uses methods of analysis, synthesis, generalization of comparison, as well as
methods of comprehensive assessment of the effectiveness of government and SME support, adapted to the
specifics of the northern territories, methods of economic and statistical analysis and expert assessments.
Results. The article analyzes the existing barriers and problems faced by small and medium-sized
businesses, including high energy costs, logistics difficulties and a shortage of qualified personnel. Based on
this analysis, a comprehensive model of the organizational and economic mechanism is proposed, integrating
support at the federal, regional and municipal levels. The toolkit for analyzing the effectiveness of assistance

Conclusions. The presented model combines various components of innovative development of small and
medium-sized
enterprises. Flexibility of application, adaptability to the conditions of northern entrepreneurship
and adaptation to local governance are the key advantages of this assessment methodology.
