Abstract
Sustainable development is a symbiosis of technological and social progress, as well as responsible environmental management, should not rely on old industries that actively consume non-renewable natural resources, but on new, convergent-technological ones. In this paradigm, the environmental safety of future generations is formed by structural shifts in the economies of advanced countries caused by the expansion of technological convergence. Technological convergence – the result of accelerating scientific and technological progress in the 21st century – has a transformative effect on the economies of developed countries, forming a new type of sectorial genesis. It is not related to the deepening of sectorial specialization or inter-industry cooperation within the framework of the evolution of basic technologies, but to the emergence of technologies of a fundamentally new type, formed as a result of the merger of know-how from different industries. The structural shifts arising from technological convergence do not have the historical analogues and forms of regulation developed by industrial policies of developed countries. The article outlines the key statements of the the impact of convergent technologies on the structural base of sustainable development.
Highlights
At present, a new type of extended reproduction, which is essentially over-intensive and connected with a new integration of factors of production in new combinations of technology, cooperation and division of labor are being developed the countries of advanced market economies [1]

Summary
A new type of extended reproduction, which is essentially over-intensive and connected with a new integration of factors of production in new combinations of technology, cooperation and division of labor are being developed the countries of advanced market economies [1]. Technological breakthroughs of the 21st century, new forms of capital attraction and institutions of innovation investment create prerequisites for modernization of the system of productive forces. In this process, the diffusion of convergent technologies is connected with modification of economic relations in investment, innovation, credit spheres, in industry production, and transformation of ownership relations. The diffusion of convergent technologies is connected with modification of economic relations in investment, innovation, credit spheres, in industry production, and transformation of ownership relations The combination of such processes of modification of economic relations in the reproduction sphere creates conditions for structural shift of a new type, in which the structural-forming factor is not creation and commercialization of new industry technologies, but their interaction
