Requirements for the innovation environment in the transition to the digital economy

The purpose of the study is to identify the requirements of the digital economy to the technological level of the innovation environment development based on statistical analysis of indicators of the innovation environment. Over the past few decades, the vector of innovative economic development has changed from information to digital. A distinctive feature of the transition to a digital economy is the use of data in digital form to create innovation.

Materials and methods. The sources of actual data were the reports and databases of official statistical reporting, international organizations (United Nations, World Intellectual Property Organization, International Telecommunication Union). Based on the correlation analysis, the factors of the innovation environment that have the greatest impact on the innovation activity of enterprises were identified. The obtained results helped to formulate the requirements for the innovation environment, enabling the transition to a digital economy.

Results. The research of patent activity showed that the greatest number of inventions is registered in the field of computer technologies and digital communications. At the same time, these technologies themselves are a source of innovation in other areas of application (commerce, finance, education, etc.). The results of the correlation analysis allow us to choose the factors of the innovation environment that have the greatest impact on the results of innovation. These factors include intellectual and IT support for the innovation environment. The requirements to the innovation environment, providing transition to digital economy were formulated: equal access to IT-infrastructure, intellectual world potential, digital data, and methodical support of continuous interaction of various stakeholders in innovative activity.

Conclusion. Innovation activity in the information society and the transition to the digital economy requires different states of the innovation environment. Statistical studies show that access and the amount of accumulated IT in the society and intellectual potential have a great influence on the development of innovation. The innovation environment in the digital economy faces new challenges to ensure equal opportunities for access and interaction among different stakeholders.
