Features of Transition from Digital Economy to Data Economy

In nowadays work is underway on formation of a new national project “Data Economy”. This project is aimed at the innovative development of the Russian economy based on the introduction and use of digital technologies. It is a logical continuation of the national “Digital Economy project”, which is operating since 2019. The new project covers business, government agencies, and the social sphere. It is necessary to modernize existing management solutions and tools, as well as to develop new approaches to their implementation to ensure economic growth and social development. Despite the fact that the Russian Federation is planning to transit from the digital economy to a new level – the data economy, it should be noted that there is still no common understanding in the scientific world of what “data economy” is. The categories and tools that characterize it were studied. The authors consider such fundamental categories and tools of the digital economy, as digitalization, digital transformation, digital maturity, digital technologies etc. The authors conclude that they will preserve and transform in the new ecosystem of the data economy, taking into account the achievement of the newly set goals for functioning of economy. The article presents the authors’ model of the transition from the digital economy to the data economy, taking into account both its existing and new components. The authors pay attention to the construction of an integration scheme “science–education–technology–production”. The scheme is based on digital data and digital technologies, which will contribute to the development of high-tech and knowledge-­intensive sectors. The study of the process of transition from the digital economy to the data economy allows concluding the regularity of this process and its importance for the development of the Russian economy. The transition to a knowledge economy will bring the Russian economy to a new level of development and ensure technological sovereignty.
