Abstract

The study of the economic institutions of the diffusion of convergent technologies in the modern economy has a direct connection with sustainable development. The expansion of ultra-modern industries in the course of the "tertialization" of the economy (the growth of the sector of high-tech material and non-material production) makes it possible to significantly reduce resource consumption and the burden on the environment, while maintaining and increasing traditional economic values (income, well-being, employment, quality of life). The expansion of convergent technologies in technologically advanced countries is taking place in parallel with the formation of a "green" economy, which forms an independent technological platform for sustainable development, and may become the main one in the coming decades. The innovative upgrade of the extractive industries up to the Industry 4.0 level, based on this platform, requires special support from the state, primarily in the extractive countries. A special role in this process is assigned to the institutional support for the diffusion of convergent technologies, which is especially in demand in the Russian economy.

Highlights

Today, there is a prevalence of a technocratic approach to the study of the role of convergent technologies in the development of a modern economy and a neglect of the analysis of their role in the transition to sustainable development
Since 2001, under the auspices of the US National Science Foundation, the so-called NBIC-initiative has been put forward, which denotes a kind of convergent whole [5]
The new sustainable development trend associated with the expansion of convergent technologies significantly enhances the productive forces of the green economy

Summary

Introduction

There is a prevalence of a technocratic approach to the study of the role of convergent technologies in the development of a modern economy and a neglect of the analysis of their role in the transition to sustainable development. The "green" economy is viewed as a special kind of economic system with complex interweaving of restrictions on resource consumption and recycling [1], while “tertialization” is, a reduction in material production [2] In other words, these phenomena are not considered to be based on a fundamentally different technological basis than the one that was formed by the beginning of the 21st century. Since 2001, under the auspices of the US National Science Foundation, the so-called NBIC-initiative (nanotechnology-biotechnology-IT-cognitive sciences) has been put forward, which denotes a kind of convergent whole [5]
