Institutional Support for Digital Transformation of Regions of the Russian Federation

Studying the issues of institutional support for the digital transformation of regions of the Russian Federation is important for understanding the current state and development prospects in the context of modern challenges and opportunities. A study was conducted on the regulatory framework for the digital transformation of the Russian economy. It also examined digital transformation strategies of various economic sectors, the social sphere, and public administration. The study identified that Russian regions differ in terms of the number of industries, planned projects, and the number of indicative indicators defined in their strategies. The gap between the leading region, the Republic of Tatarstan, and the Altai Republic, which closes the ranking of Russian regions in terms of the number of projects being implemented, was 8.4 times. It has been established that areas whose impact on the digital transformation process is extremely significant are very limited in regional projects. It is shown that the digital transformation strategies of all regions of the Russian Federation define a wider range of indicative indicators. The Chechen Republic, which has the smallest number of indicators among Russian regions, exceeds the approved threshold by 3 times, and the Perm Krai (the leader in the number of indicators) by 17.6 times. This allows regional authorities to take into account the industry and strategic guidelines of the region, identify problem areas, and take the necessary measures in the process of digital transformation.
