Introduction. Digital industrial policy is considered an effective government response to rapid global technological shifts. It aims to foster both structural changes and technological modernization, while also establishing legal frameworks and regulations for digital transformation in markets and production. The paper addresses the key principles, strategies, and instruments of digital industrial policy in the evolving landscape of digitized socio-economic relations. The aim is to articulate the conceptual framework for developing and enacting digital industrial policy and ensuring its harmonization with European integration imperatives.
Materials and methods. The research leverages the theoretical base and empirical evidence derived from scientific investigations conducted by both domestic and international scholars, analytical reports issued by international organizations, officially reported statistical data and other sources. The conceptual framework of digital industrial policy was based on a number of general scientific methods, including generalization and comparison, analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction, and systems analysis, as well as on specific scientific methods such as statistical-economic analysis, expert assessments, grouping techniques, and taxonomy method.
Results and discussion. Digital industrial policy represents a symbiotic convergence of industrial policy, digital policy, and a constellation of related policy frameworks, resulting in a transversal effect on the transformation of markets for goods and services, while also addressing a number of market failures. The presented taxonomy of instruments, implemented across various levels of governance and impacting both demand and supply forces, constitutes a synthesis of global practices, with a particular focus on the European Union. It is established that the realization of these instruments necessitates considerable state resources, leading to their preferential implementation by developed economies seeking to assert their digital leadership in the global landscape.
Conclusions. Ukraine has committed to implementing core elements of a digital industrial policy, harmonized with EU directives, while concurrently strengthening its resource base and institutional infrastructure. The recommendations presented in this study will provide guidance for a coherent and sustained implementation of digital industrial policy in Ukraine, thereby allowing the nation to fully leverage the opportunities afforded by integration into European value-added chains and markets of goods and services.
