5.2. Digital economy: investment attractiveness and modern development
opportunities

The digital revolution, which manifests itself as a new stage of economic and
technological development, has rapidly changed human life, created great opportunities and
ushered in a period of further tightening of the field of international competition.
The term “digital economy” was first proposed as a separate concept in 1995 in
Don Tapcott’s publication “The Digital Economy: Prospects and Perils in the Age of
Networked Intelligence.” This publication highlights fundamental innovations
(semiconductors, processors), underlying technologies (computers) and connecting
infrastructures (Internet and telecommunications networks) as key components of the
digital economy.
The digital economy is used to represent two different concepts. Firstly, the digital
economy is considered as a modern stage of development, characterized by the priority of
creative work and information benefits. Secondly, the digital economy is a unique concept;
the object of its study is the information society. In today's rapidly developing global
economy, the digital economy is at the initial stage of its development, and the transition to
the digital information stage of our time is only a few decades away.
In general, the digital economy is the use of the results of process analysis and
processing of large volumes of data, which can significantly increase the efficiency of storage,
sales and delivery of various industries, technologies, equipment, goods and services.
Information in digital form is a core activity that is considered a factor of production.
In the perspective of modern development of technologies for working with big data
(Big Data), artificial intelligence, neurotechnologies, quantum technologies, Internet of
things, robotics and sensors, digital electronic platforms, cloud and mobile technologies,
virtual and augmented technologies. reality technologies, crowdsourcing, blockchain
technologies, digital technologies such as cryptocurrencies and ICOs, 3D technologies are
becoming decisive.
It is said that the digital economy will bring unprecedented changes to more than half
of the industries that exist today. For example, according to World Bank experts, a 10%
