Information support for innovative economic development of the region

Digital transformation can significantly expand information support for innovative development of a region by reducing the time and increasing the efficiency of collection, automated statistical processing of quantitative information, taking into account system dynamics, user qualifications, their access areas, and security levels. Digitalization of the economy makes it possible to adapt changes to each user in systems of various levels. There are three stages in the development of digitalization: from digitization of data to the use of digital technologies for business transformation and to digital modernization and the proposal of new business models. The process of innovative development of economic systems proceeds through the transformation of social interactions, market relations, public institutions using the Internet of Things, large amounts of data, mobile devices, etc. Problems arising in the field of information support directly affect the commercialization of innovations and hinder the management of the development process. The role of digital transformation in changing socio-economic systems is obvious, but many problems of innovative development management have their own characteristics for economic systems of various levels and remain unresolved. Insufficient attention is still being paid to information support, assessment of economic development at the regional level, development of a mechanism and formation of optimal criteria for assessing the level of development. The purpose of the study is to substantiate the functional scheme of information support for innovative economic development of the region. Based on the methods of generalization of theoretical research, comparison, deduction, induction, the authors propose a functional scheme of information support for managing the economic development of the region and conclude that it is necessary to develop automated decision support systems in the management system of the economic development of the region. In particular, in the framework of an innovative approach, it seems advisable, according to the authors, to use an expert system.
