The Strategic Directions for the Development of the Electronic Industry in Russia

Topicality. The unprecedented sanctions policy against Russia forces us to think about the directions of development of the domestic economy. One of the priority directions is the development of the domestic electronic industry — the most knowledge-intensive branch of mechanical engineering, the structural core of the post-industrial wave in accordance with the wave concept of E. Toffler. It is electronic products, including components and products made from them, that are extremely differentiated and, among other things, serve as components for other industrial and consumer goods. This means that without the development of the electronic industry, the development of other spheres and sectors of the economy becomes difficult.Aim. To determine the basic strategy for the development of the electronic industry in Russia.Tasks. To identify the strategic role of innovations in electronics and microelectronics in Russia’s achievement of technological sovereignty.Methods. The article is based on the general theory of strategy and methodology of strategizing by academician, foreign member of the Russian Academy of Sciences V.L. Kvint, developed at the Center for Strategic Studies of the Institute for Mathematical Research of Complex Systems and the Department of Economic and Financial Strategy of Lomonosov Moscow State University.Results. The article provides an overview of global innovation trends and startups that are transforming the electronic industry today. In addition to the review, the author provides statistical information on the level of development of these technologies in Russia.Conclusions.
