The authors reveal key technological factors and drivers for socializing the economy of an industrial region. They focus on the Ural macroregion and prove that the processes of socializing an industrial region's economy are closely related to the development of industrial production, which constitutes the 'genetic core' of the economy for this type of territories. The article substantiates and demonstrates that technological drivers of an industrial region's economy socialization are closely related to the digitalization of industry, which is initiated, to a great extent, by traditional core sectors of the Ural economy (military-industrial complex, metallurgy, mining, mechanical engineering, etc.). The development of 'end-to-end technologies' (digital, additive, information, nanotechnologies, Internet of Things, Big Data, artificial intelligence) constitutes a major driver for an industrial region's economy socialization. The authors pay special attention to the processes of digitalization of the region's economy.
In article the authors argue that the industrial future is the most important factor in ensuring sustainable development of a traditional industrial region. The conclusions are based on the study of the first results of socio-economic development in the context of the coronavirus pandemic, a prominent representative of traditionally industrial regions - the Sverdlovsk region. The authors base their own research on the conceptual guidelines of the scientific paradigm of sustainable development. Operative statistical data on the Sverdlovsk region are presented. In the study the conclusions were reached about the immediate prospects for the development of the Sverdlovsk region economy in the context of a new coronavirus infection. The processes that are an approximate scenario for the development of events at the regional level were identified. The importance of maintaining industrial specialization in the new realities of the economy as an important factor in sustainable development not only at the national level, but also at the regional level was revealed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
