Annotation: The problem of the technological gap with developed countries is relevant for modern Russia. Its strategic documents highlight the importance of developing industries that produce high-value-added products. The article discusses the main indicators of the high-tech sector development, which are fixed in the strategy of scientific and technological development of the Russian Federation. To assess the possibility of achieving the Strategy’s targets and determine the state of high-tech industries in the country, the dynamics of these indicators since 2010 was analyzed. The research is based on the works of Russian scientists and Rosstat data. In the course of the work, it was proved that the growth rate of the high-tech sector indicates the presence of stagnation processes. The results of the study showed the need to create cooperative relations between enterprises and research organizations, as well as the importance of commercialization of domestic high technologies through their introduction into production processes. The main problems of implementing the Strategy are identified and several recommendations are given to help overcome them.
