Cyber-physical development of technopolises under conditions of digitalisation and intelligentisation of industry

Abstract

The article reflects the results of a multidimensional study aimed at analyzing the established models and concepts of technopolises, focusing on their cyber-physical development in the light of modern technological and socio-economic changes. Technopolises are recognised as some of the largest and potentially most important projects in the world. The aim of the research was to systematise and analyse existing models of technopolis development, and to identify the key factors influencing the efficiency and innovation activity of these zones in the context of digitalisation and intellectualisation of industry. The evolution of research interest in the technopolis concept was analysed. The systematization of definitions and theoretical approaches to the concept of technopolis was carried out. The echeloned concept of technopolis is presented on the basis of the cognitive triad of economic, technological and urban planning aspects. The empirical typology of clusters is built, their differences from science cities and technoparks are shown. Technopolises are proposed to be considered from the position of their inclusion in the object component of innovation-industrial ecosystems along with clusters, parks and zones. The limitations of the technopolis concept are highlighted. The analysis of the current state and prospects of technopolises development in the Russian Federation as locomotives of innovation activity in the conditions of industry digitalisation is carried out. The model of cyber-physical technopolis based on intellectual spaces integrating the latest achievements in the field of information technologies and managerial innovations is proposed. The proposed model implies the creation of synergetic interaction between physical and digital elements of the industrial environment, which can serve as a stimulus for the leapfrog development of technopolises and the entire innovation-industrial ecosystem of the country. The development of models for assessing the economic contribution of cyber-physical technopolises at the macro- and micro-levels may become a direction for further research.
