and data exchange, which includes cyber-physics systems, Internet things and cloud
computing [16]. It represents a new level of organization of production and
management of the chain of value creation throughout the life cycle of products.

technology, business analytics, cloud computing and social media; in the global
dimension - social networks such as Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, LinkedIn,
Instagram, etc. This means that, when forming a national segment, it is important to
use all the capabilities of the digital economy [16].

Throughout the world, the share of the traditional economy is decreasing, while
the digital one is increasing, giving powerful benefits to countries and businesses.

and basic spheres of life, especially education and medicine, investing the most in the
development of digital infrastructures, innovations and modern technologies.
