– an analysis of existing methods for assessing the effectiveness of the use of intellectual potential at the regional level was carried out, which showed that the most optimal tool for assessing the effectiveness of the use of intellectual potential at the regional level is the use of Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), which is a linear programming method;

– assessment of the effectiveness of the use of intellectual potential in the regions of Kazakhstan. The Atlas of the efficiency of using the intellectual potential of Kazakhstan by region for 2019 is presented. It shows that the regions with high efficiency of using intellectual potential are Kostanay, Karaganda, Zhambyl regions and Almaty, and with the lowest – Turkestan, Kyzylorda, West Kazakhstan and Mangistau regions. Mechanisms for improving the efficiency of using intellectual potential for the development of a knowledge-based economy have been developed;

–    recommendations on the use of Internet platforms for assessing intellectual potential in the regions of the Republic of Kazakhstan are given.
