   The relevance of the article lies in the need to identify the competitive advantages of Russian small and medium-sized enterprises in the foreign markets of high-tech products as conductors of domestic goods abroad in the context of tightening Western sanctions.

   The subject of the study is approaches to establishing the competitiveness of exports of high — tech products of Russian small and medium-sized enterprises.

   The purpose of the work is to establish the main types of economic activities in which Russian small and medium — sized enterprises have competitive advantages and are able to compete with foreign analogues.

   The results of the study are presented, which make it possible to identify the structure of the necessary grant support for Russian small and medium-sized enterprises to enter the foreign market. Based on the methods of economic-statistical, comparative and graphical analysis, it has been established that the essential problem of supporting and financing the export activities of Russian small and medium-sized enterprises is not so much the lack of assistance provided by the state, as the undeveloped capital structure of organizations, distortions in the assessment of the current market value and capitalization in the case of initial public offerings. Based on the data obtained on the export operations of Russian small and medium-sized enterprises in the regional context, it is proved that during the period under review, state aid was concentrated in the leading most developed settlements of the Russian Federation. It is concluded that in order to stimulate the export of high-tech products of Russian small and medium-sized enterprises, it is necessary to diversify the regional financing system, attract exchange resources and external financing through initial public offerings, as well as balance the real value of material and intellectual assets of enterprises with their current market value..
