| Annotation: | This scientific article provides an overview of approaches to defining the role of the knowledge economy as a tool for strategic territorial development. Currently, during the period of the geopolitical and economic crisis, the dissemination of knowledge, information, scientific developments, and research should play a significant role in order to further reproduce high-tech products, new types of services, technologies, and materials. As President of Russia has set the goal of achieving technological leadership and developing automation, digitalization, and robotization, it is necessary to create a system of close cooperation between government agencies, educational institutions, research organizations, and industrial enterprises. It is already important to form the components of the knowledge economy in order to successfully implement the country’s leadership goals and ensure the competitiveness of the territories. The author’s understanding of the components of the knowledge economy takes into account education (knowledge dissemination), scientific development and research, and the introduction of innovations into production. The article focuses on knowledge as structured information that contributes to the further production of new knowledge, the creation of new types of products, technologies, and services. Innovations are viewed as “guides” for transforming traditional industries, improving production efficiency, and creating conditions for sustainable economic growth in the territories. The author provides statistical data on the level of innovation activity in organizations of the Ural Federal District in order to determine the dynamics of adaptation and strategic regulation of territories to the conditions of the knowledge economy. The development of scientific potential is closely related to education. Improving the quality of human capital through the introduction of digital technologies and artificial intelligence creates an impetus for developing strategic development guidelines. | ||
