The Impact of Digitalization on the Balanced Development of the Territory

The article is devoted to testing the hypothesis about the impact of digitalization processes on the level of economic development of territories at the present stage, since in our country digital transformation is considered as a conceptual model for improving the activities of intra-regional economic units and the development of modern society, as well as a factor of economic and social breakthrough. A generalization of methodological approaches to the assessment of digital transformation in the region has been carried out. To assess the level of digital development of the territory, a scientific approach to designing a system of indicators characterizing the processes of digitalization is proposed. To test the approach, an analysis was made of the impact of the current state of digital development on the economic results of the territories. The analysis of the statistical dependence between the level of development and welfare of Russian regions and the parameters of their digitalization showed a low (moderate) relationship. This means that with the current volume of funding for digital transformation and the use of information technologies, devices and special software, it is impossible to ensure the breakthrough development of regional economic systems and their production complexes.
