growing and prospective, but for the investor, profit making will be stable and not one-
time. The leaders in the field of biotechnology development are Amgen and Celgene.
The next technology that TNCs invest in is artificial intelligence and robotic
production and management processes. In the process of introducing artificial
intelligence in the company there were controversial discussions about the need for its
use and distribution, as many scientists are concerned that artificial intelligence can
replace a person in the enterprise, which will lead to an increase in unemployment.
Already by 2020, artificial intelligence can exist on an equal scale as today, the Internet
or electronics. According to Gartner, the main trends in this technology are investing
in the following areas: learning with electronic pulses, neural networks, learning
languages with the help of special devices. For example, in the banking sector, they
already use artificial intelligence and learning tools using neural impulses [1; 3; 6].
For investors, in this case, the investment of financial resources in the stock of
technological TNCs such as: Alphabet, Facebook, Microsoft and Amazon, which use
the technology, is an opportunity to become dominant in the market, especially in the
field of online marketing [5].
Based on this study, host countries are also trying to move on to innovation and
technological development, while developing their own strategies. For example, the
mechanisms that are still in place and the state institutions that will be involved in the
implementation of technologies are beginning to be introduced into the management
system, as shown in Table 2.
But innovation leads to the fact that the investment behavior of TNCs is
transformed altogether, but in our opinion, the TNC's management personnel should
not completely switch to investing in risky investment objects, this can lead to a loss
of revenue and future prospects, a decline in investment activity in general, due to the
fact that financial crises, the volatility of the financial market can lead to bankruptcy
of the corporation.
Host countries of any region, in their turn, in addition to innovation, adhere to the
goals of sustainable development. For example, Laos introduced a set of sustainable
development goals, namely: fighting poverty; eliminating hunger, achieving food
security and improving nutritional conditions, sustainable agriculture; ensuring a
healthy lifestyle and promoting well-being; ensuring quality education and lifelong
learning; gender equality; providing access to water and sewage; access to modern
energy sources; promotion of decent work for everyone; creating an extensive
infrastructure, promoting inclusive and stable industrialization; reducing inequalities
within and between countries; construction of cities and settlements safe and
comfortable; taking measures to combat climate change and its consequences;
conservation and careful use of oceans, seas and marine resources; protection,
restoration and promotion of economical use of ecosystems, combating desertification,
