Abstract

The subject of the research is the study of prerequisites for the formation of a new technological basis for Russian economy. Russian economy faces the task of activating innovative factors, ensuring high dynamics of development and increasing the competitiveness of various business entities. To solve this problem at the macro level, it is necessary to create a system based on the principles of digital economy. These principles are being transformed into a system of economic relations based on the transition to highly automated production systems and digital information and communication technologies. This transition involves not only global prospects, but also dangers and risks. Several strategies for digital restructuring of the country's economy based on gradual and long-term development are proposed.
