The study of the features of the formation of the digital infrastructure of the macroregion in order to ensure its economic sustainability

Abstract

Introduction. To improve the development of the macro-regional economy based on digital technologies, a wide range of tools and approaches can be used aimed at the digital transformation of enterprises, industries and territorial systems in general. The main directions and tools of such development include, first of all, digital platforms and ecosystems of macroregions, which implies the urgency of creating and further developing digital regional platforms that unite local markets and economic entities of the macroregion and provide data exchange, coordination of activities and support for regional development planning in order to optimize management processes in the regional economy. Purpose. Analysis of the role of digital infrastructure in ensuring sustainable economic development of macroregions with a focus on digital transformation as a key factor in increasing competitiveness, efficiency and sustainability of macroregion economic systems. Theoretical Basis. The expediency of using various methodological approaches to assess the digital maturity of regions, as well as models of the impact of digital technologies on macroeconomic indicators, is being evaluated to identify the main barriers and opportunities for the development of the digital infrastructure of macroregions. Results. The study provides examples of the integration of digital infrastructure into sustainable development strategies, taking into account economic, social and environmental factors. Conclusions. The high role of digitalization tools and a unified digital infrastructure in the implementation of strategies for the sustainable development of macroregions, considered through environmental, social and managerial aspects of territorial development, is substantiated.
