Abstract

The study analyzes the foreign experience of global high-tech corporations, as well as examines the main reasons that significantly slow down the process of digitalization in Russia and suggests measures and appropriate tools that contribute to a significant acceleration of the digital transformation of domestic industry, implemented only in the process of a coordinated integrated approach concerning not only production and technology, but also personnel policy, logistics flows, financial activities, operation of main and additional production areas, etc. The purpose of this article is to systematize the domestic and foreign experience of digital technologies in the direction of intensifying the process of digital transformation of the Russian industry as a whole, as well as individual territories and enterprises. In the course of the study, the experience of digital transformation of industry implemented in foreign countries was analyzed, both clear leaders such as Singapore and Japan and lagging states, including South Africa, Egypt, Pakistan and others, were identified. As a result of the study, it was found out that the effectiveness of digitalization of the domestic industry will largely be determined precisely by strategic priorities and the scale of stimulating state policy in the field of financial, information and institutional support for the digitalization process. The article develops proposals to accelerate the process of digitalization of industry by focusing efforts on financial support of priority areas and creating preferences in Russia for the introduction of domestic digital technologies into production over foreign analogies. The results obtained can be applied in the activities of Russian industrial enterprises and regional and municipal government.
