Annotation. The article examines key aspects, challenges, and opportunities, as well as tools of smart specialization for the restoration of belligerent-recreational systems that integrate defence capabilities and socio-economic recovery of regions affected by military conflicts or crises. The authors analyse the critical role of these systems in ensuring the security, stability, and prosperity of affected communities, highlighting rapid infrastructure restoration, economic recovery, psychological rehabilitation of the population, and enhancement of the country's international image as main aspects of such recovery. Special attention is given to smart specialization as a strategic tool that promotes the concentration of resources on key innovative areas that best leverage the region’s unique advantages. The article also discusses the main mechanisms of implementing smart specialization, methods, approaches, as well as challenges and opportunities arising in its implementation, illustrating real examples of successful innovation hubs and clusters. The use of smart specialization in the context of recovery not only addresses current challenges but also lays the foundation for sustainable development and long-term stability in post-conflict regions.

Keywords: belligerative recreational systems, smart specialization, recovery, sustainable development.
