The article presents a theoretical and methodological approach to the development of strate- gic directions for economic interaction between the regions of Ural and adjacent northern, polar and arctic territories, which considers, on the one hand, the resource capabilities of the new territories for development and their demand for finished industrial products, on the other hand, the significant economic and innovative potential of the industrially developed Ural regions and their increasing demand for raw materials and energy resources. We have revealed that the activities of Ural enterprises and scientific organizations aimed at devel- opment of new technologies and equipment, devices and software for solving the environ- mental problems of the Arctic in accordance with the principle of “smart specialization” may be a niche that will allow Ural enterprises to enter new technological market outlets, including worldwide market.
