Implementation of innovative digital technologies in the world

Abstract. The authors define the goals of digital transformation of countries, highlight the main distinctive elements of their digitalization and classify factors that affect the speed of digital transformation. They assess the development level of digital economy in Russia, Ukraine and developed countries in 2007-2020 according to the International Digital Economy and Society Index (I-DESI) and the Global Innovation Index (GII). The authors provide information about changes in the ranking of individual countries according to the GII and identify top ten countries in each group. The authors compare the most popular innovative technological trends, present the expected payback periods for investments in digital solutions in Russia and the world and determine the barriers that hinder the development of digitalization in the countries and companies. The conducted analysis shows that against the background of a significant slowdown in the global economic growth, there are concerns about a reduction in R&D, venture capital and intellectual property.
