The role of digital technologies in the innovative development of intersectoral complexes

The article considers the most promising directions of innovative development of intersectoral complexes that best meet the conditions of digitalization of the economy. The economic feasibility of the development of intersectoral complexes in the conditions of an innovative economy is proved. The advantages of intersectoral complexes in comparison with other integrative units are highlighted. It is established that the Russian economy is dynamically developing forest, agro-industrial, chemical and a number of other complexes. It is proved that to ensure the progressive dynamics of their further development, it is necessary to take into account modern trends in the digitalization of the economy. A strategic vector for the development of intersectoral complexes in the conditions of an innovative economy is defined, which is based on the orientation to the widest possible introduction of advanced digital technologies. The effectiveness and prospects of using a wide range of digital technologies for the development of the agro-industrial complex have been proved. It is proposed to create and use a digital platform for the agro-industrial complex, aimed at concentrating the resources necessary for the digitalization of the agro-industrial complex, as well as systematizing and harmonizing the activities of stakeholders in this direction. The main goal of creating a digital platform for the agro-industrial complex is to significantly increase production efficiency through large-scale implementation of digital technologies. The tasks are: formation of a theoretical base and methodological recommendations for the maximum possible implementation of digital technologies in the agro-industrial complex; formation of financial, organizational and infrastructure prerequisites for digitalization of the agro-industrial complex; creation of information resources for effective interaction of all interested parties; provision of consulting services. The implementation of this project will significantly improve the efficiency of economic activities in the agro-industrial complex of the country. It is proved that the introduction of digital technologies in the activities of the agro-industrial complex can significantly increase its efficiency and serve as the basis for increasing competitiveness.
