Building a technological ecosystem in the context of digital transformation

Purpose. To substantiate scientific, methodological and practical developments aimed at transforming the national technological ecosystem and providing recommendations for the implementation of an adaptive digital business model focused on the effective integration of enterprises into technological ecosystems. Methodology. The study uses general scientific methods: comparison, analogy, analysis and synthesis, system analysis, multi-criteria evaluation and matrix modeling methods. We use holistic, network, and cluster approaches to obtain the results of the research. Findings. The article identifies the priorities for the transformation of the national technological ecosystem and offers recommendations for accelerating its development towards the formation of sustainable networks of interconnected enterprises based on advanced digital manufacturing technologies. The authors propose a new understanding of the “technological ecosystem” category’s essence. We identify the key features and components of the technological ecosystem. The paper substantiates the principles of adapting digital business models to the technological profiles of both enterprises and the ecosystems into which they integrate. In accordance with the level of technological maturity and digital capabilities of enterprises and ecosystems, we offer digital frameworks adapted to changes in the technological space. We analyzed models and trajectories of integration taking into account the digital context and developed a toolkit for the effective functioning of an enterprise in a technological ecosystem. The study outlines the prospects for promoting the management practices of technological ecosystems by developing an integrated model that balances environmental, economic, and social sustainability. The model highlights the importance of digital and technological maturity, collaboration, and innovation as drivers of ecosystem adaptability and resilience. Originality. We developed an adaptive digital business model focused on the effective integration of enterprises into technological ecosystems in the face of technological gaps and imbalances in industry potentials. The paper proposes a matrix of management projects, which, based on the assessment of technological (including digital) levels, determines the positions of enterprises and integration models that provide enterprises with flexibility in the context of digital transformation. The implementation of the integrated model contributes to the development of the ecosystem’s technological potential, intensification of regional innovations, and achievement of a synergistic effect on a national scale. Practical value. The recommendations can be used by technology companies, eco-industrial parks’ management, and industrial symbiosis facilitators to develop program, project, and other long-term documents that formalize the business model, strategy, and policy for building the national technology ecosystem.
