Digital Platform for Modeling the Development of Regional Innovation Systems of Russian Federation

The paper aims at the design of a digital tool for analyzing the impact of scientific and technological progress on socioeconomic problems and sustainable development of the region. The research focuses on the consistent development of a digital platform for analyzing and visualizing digital data on regional innovation development, as well as predicting the sustainable development of regions based on the available regional infrastructure of innovation systems and the Russian regions' cluster structure. When designing the digital platform, we gave special attention to ensuring efficient data collection, processing, and analysis processes required for studying the socio-economic system. In the course of the work, an automated process of working with data was developed. The digital platform is being developed as a flexible tool for a wide range of users, from research centers, investors, and private enterprises to individual users interested in regional innovation development models. As part of the work, the process of selecting technical tools for the software implementation of the platform in terms of tasks and technical features of designing digital platforms is presented. The result of the work is a prototype of the Russian regional innovation system digital platform with the implemented functionality of a personal account, a module of simulation experiments, and various approaches to data analysis and visualization. The research is carried out as part of a project to develop a digital model of the regional innovation system of the Russian Federation as a driver of sustainable development

ASSESSING THE DIGITALIZATION READINESS OF THE CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY IN THE ARCTIC: A REGIONAL RANKING APPROACH

The relevance of developing the construction sector in Russia stems from the imperative to 1) enhance productivity, 2) reduce costs and improve quality and safety, and 3) address future challenges such as climate change and economic diversification. This article assesses the readiness of regions for digitalizing the construction sector through a ranking system based on the geometric mean. Digitalization readiness in the construction industry is the current state of territorial socio-economic systems defined across four areas of development: the socio-economic domain, research and innovations, the digital sphere, and the industrial domain. The study aims to establish a regional ranking to assess digitalization readiness in the construction sector, with a specific focus on the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation. Regional specialization in construction-related economic activities is identified, revealing that the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug and the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) present opportunities for creating an industrial cluster. A benchmark ranking is proposed, indicating that the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug and the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) exhibit attractiveness for strategic initiatives aimed at digitalizing the construction industry
