At the same time, the analysis shows that the development of the technological brokerage market in the regions of the Russian Federation is in its infancy, there are very few theoretical and methodological developments devoted to issues of technological mediation in order to accelerate the technological development of the country and individual regions. The purpose of this study is to identify the need for the creation and development of technological brokers in the regions that provide engineering, technology transfer and intellectual property rights, as well as the development of a promising model of the regional technology broker's service portfolio. To study the problem, a survey was conducted involving 55 enterprises of the Novgorod region.

The key features of a technology broker are highlighted, and a promising model of its service portfolio is formed. The obtained results contribute to the development of the concept of open innovations to accelerate the pace of technology renewal in industrial production in the regions.
