Resume
The article reveals the essence, content, and classification of coopetition as an innovative form of interaction between economic entities. It emphasizes that combining cooperation and competition within a unified strategic space becomes an important tool for increasing the flexibility, innovativeness, and resilience of enterprises under dynamic market conditions. Based on the generalization of scientific approaches, the conceptual framework of coopetition is clarified, and its key elements are identified – joint value creation, preservation of participant autonomy, resource sharing, and competition for outcomes in external markets.
The content of coopetition is presented as a process that simultaneously integrates interaction, partnership-based coordination, and strategic rivalry that does not destroy but rather strengthens the overall capabilities of participants. A classification of coopetition types is proposed according to the intensity of interaction, sphere of activity, strategic objectives, and institutional forms. It is determined that technological, innovation-driven, marketing, and network-cluster coopetition contribute to accelerating the development of new products, optimizing costs, enhancing integrated value-added chains, and increasing enterprise competitiveness.
The importance of forming effective mechanisms for managing coopetitive relations is emphasized, including systems of trust, transparency, structural alignment of interests, and balanced distribution of results. It is concluded that coopetition represents a promising form of strategic interaction that ensures a balance between partnership and competition and creates new opportunities for innovation-driven development.

Keywords
