: Introduction. The development of methodological monitoring tools to implement building nanomaterials into production is an integral element of designing a mechanism for effective management of the development of business structures. University entrepreneurship and research and educational centers in the ecosystem trend are considered as central actors in the process of creating tools for university transfer of nanobinders for construction purposes. Methods and materials. The process of forming digital competencies among students and teachers in the process of commercialization of scientific developments of a construction university (institute, faculty, department) should be considered as the result of fractal interactions. The development of the innovative ecosystem of the university is achieved by the effective implementation of the process of transferring the results of intellectual activity for the creation of gypsum and ceramic nanocomposites, which are in demand by the regional construction industry. Results. The intellectual and technological potential of universities that train bachelor’s and master’s students for the construction industry determines the prospects for the successful development of the industry in an innovative society. Accelerated promotion of investment developments, requested nanotechnologies of universities, provides universities with additional extra-budgetary funding. On the example of the development of technology for producing small-piece wall and partition products based on nanostructured gypsum binders, they were tested in experimental industrial conditions.

tion [1]. At the same time, a significant part of the results of research activities of construction universities, as well as required nanotechnology projects, remain unimplemented in practice and do not generate income due to the weak development of organizational and economic transfer mechanisms. In this regard, the search for innovative solutions to increase the efficiency of commercialization of nanotechnology innovations, taking into account the needs of the state and business in the regional construction industry, is still of great importance.
This article is aimed at testing the ecosystem approach in the transfer and commercialization of scientific projects in demand by the building industry of nanotechnology.

MATERIALS AND METHODS
The current challenges the Russian Federation is facing have worsened in the context of the coronavirus pandemic. That is why intensive search for trends in the fullscale modernization of the regional and all-Russian building industry is so urgent and burning. Our state can preserve the "ecological niche" in the accelerated construction of the XXI century only by commercialization and expansion of the entrepreneurial sector of university science: the correlation between the effectiveness of research and development work and the gross domestic product is quite high r = 0.99 [2]. Only an integrated approach to each stage of the transfer: from creating new business ideas and evaluating commercial potential [3] to forecasting the scientific and technical development of industries and implementing the development of technological strategies of construction companies leads to success.
The formation of the infrastructure to support the innovation activities of Russian universities is carried out within a number of organizational forms: science and technology parks, technology commercialization centers, small innovative enterprises, research and educational centers of universities, institutes, etc. Today the formation of a productive transfer, which is a tools for overcoming continuous crisis situations, meets various barriers; at the same time, the strategy of technological breakthrough provides a dynamic start for competitive sectors of the Russian economy. Effective solution of such an urgent task is impossible without the involvement of academic high-tech science, because it is practical transfers that act as points of growth of the construction industry.
The calculated indicator of the specific volume of business entities among small and medium-sized businesses in [2010][2011][2012][2013][2014][2015] indicates that only about 70% are engaged in real activities [4]. This means that in the business environment of the Russian Federation there are diverse and multidirectional factors that restrain the increase in business activity in the construction industry. Many potentially developments will not be identified unless sustainable competitive advantages and opportunities for their transfer in the construction industry are provided.
The key issue of modern nanotechnology in the construction industry is the effective transfer of high-demand development from one market participant to another on a commercial and non-commercial basis. The trend approach, based on the entrepreneurial ecosystem of the construction industry, differs from the cluster approach in that the main subject is an entrepreneur who is able to coordinate efforts and resources, and not a construction company (firm). It should be noted that in the ecosystem trend, entrepreneurship is considered not only as a part of the construction industry, but also as a central actor in the successful functioning of construction organizations and in supporting the transfer of nanotechnological projects.
Within the framework of the system approach [5], the dominant influence is acquired by the environment, where economically active construction companies interact with each other and with the economic sphere. To design effective management systems for the transfer of the results of intellectual activity of universities and the formation of active entrepreneurship at the regional level, it is necessary to take into account fractal interactions in the building industry [6].

RESULTS
The ecosystem approach focuses on the geographical logistics of interconnected construction companies, service providers and related companies, which, while competing with each other, also interact in the format of cooperation and transfer of research activities of construction universities [7]. In the modern conditions of transformation of post-industrial society, methodological tools for commercialization and transfer of university nanotechnologies to the construction industry are being formed (Fig. 1).
The development of methodological tools for monitoring the attractiveness of the regional business ecosystem for generating development is an integral element of designing a mechanism for effective management of business development in the building industry. In this context, it is important to assess the state of the ecosystem in terms of its attractiveness for the reproduction (birth) of new high-tech enterprises in the building industry [8]. The interpretation of the ecosystem of university science and entrepreneurship as an ensemble of social and economic structures in the region that support the growth of innovative start-ups contributes to the emergence of new business structures with a sufficiently high level of risk.
From the point of view of intensive commercialization and transfer of scientific developments, the effective way is the real application of the intellectual potential of the university, construction institute (faculty), departments; competence and experience to attract additional funding, as well as strengthening the functioning of universities as drivers of technological development of the state. For example, the university transfer of high-demand nanotechnologies with the participation of professors of the Ufa State Petroleum Technical University (USNTU) made it possible to implement (Fig. 2) on the basis of nanostructured gypsum binders with a size of ≈ 2 nm-100 nm [9] technologies for producing small-piece wall and partition products, which were tested in experimental industrial conditions [10][11][12].
Higher professional education should provide training of qualified and mobile specialists for the building industry, ready to independently and effectively solve emerging problems [13]. We have identified the effective conditions for the development of professional competencies of bachelors and undergraduates during their studies at the university: the fractal approach allows lecturers and students to look at trivial things outside the box, to adapt to creative thinking. An important role is played by the commercial component of cooperation between education ↔ science ↔ technology [14] with the strengthening of integration processes within the framework of scientific and educational centers, implemented in the Architectural and Building Institute of USPTU.
In the innovation center ("Laboratory of Nanotechnologies of Cement Systems named after Professors A.F. Polak and N.H. Karimov") of the Architectural and Construction Institute of USNTU, leading specialists of the department, as well as bachelors, undergraduates, postgraduates, doctoral students in the field of development of building materials, research of their nanostructure and technological properties are conducting highly-demanded researches. The scanning electron microscope JEOL JSM-6610LV is actively used for microanalysis of nanomaterials at the Department "Building Structures" of USNTU (Fig. 3); to perform X-ray diffraction and phase analysis -X-ray diffractometer D2 PHASER.

DISCUSSION
Each region, including the Republic of Bashkortostan, has its own unique structure of the regional ecosystem of construction entrepreneurship, and its effectiveness in terms of generating development is determined by the quality of interactive interaction of elements (entrepreneurs) of the ecosystem between themselves and universities. One of the mechanisms for the successful implementation and transfer of nanotechnology projects of a construction university (institute, faculty, depart-

ment) is the focus on "regional linking" and the creation of research-educational centers.
The effective process of transfer and commercialization of popular nanotechnologies in modern universities cannot be considered in isolation from their main educational activity. Educational activities in terms of content have a synthetic character: it is based on cognitive activity; students of the Architectural and Construction Institute of USPTU in the scientific and educational center form practical competencies. The implementation of innovative activities through the organization and development of the transfer of popular technologies to the real construction industry is an urgent task of domestic universities based on the results of pilot tests and industrial scaling. Nanomaterials (nanosilicon, carbon nanotubes diameter from 1 nm to 50 nm, ceramic nanocomposites, etc.) and microfillers were proved to be suitable components for reducing corrosion damage and increasing the durability of building composites [15][16][17][18].
Quite effective methodological tools for the university transfer of nanotechnological elaborations to the regional construction industry are: the creation of basic departments in enterprises, the participation of employers in educational and industrial practice, the development of the university's innovation ecosystem, etc. A thorough analysis of the impact of various factors on the speed of implementation and transfer of university innovations (Fig. 4) in the building complex based on the fractal concept shows the dynamic nature of commercialization algorithms.
The quality of innovative activities of universities in the form of commercialization and transfer mechanisms should not only be demanded and controlled, but also motivated. One of the final stages of a successful transfer of intellectual activity is the formation of internal protective mechanisms against unfair competition. Interdisciplinary integration with the features of large-scale introduction of nanotechnology products for construction purposes [19][20][21][22][23] promotes the transfer of the future technological and other activities in the educational process and the formation of professional competencies of bachelors and masters of Architecture and Building Institute of Ufa State Petroleum Technological University.

CONCLUSION
Thus, the advance of methodological tools for monitoring the attractiveness of the regional business ecosystem for generation and development of transfer processes of modern nanomaterials is an integral element of designing mechanism for effective management of the development of business structures in building. Development of the innovation ecosystem in the university (construction institute, faculty, department) is the way to effective commercialization of intellectual activity in the field of nanotechnology, demanded by regional building industry: i.e., the process of transfer of knowledge and technology resulted in certain products and services.
