Digital Globalization: Starting with Global Logistics
Technological sovereignty took on key importance for Russia after the West imposed technological sanctions against the country in 2022, which created mass demand for technological and digital solutions that guarantee sovereignty. Today, Russian companies and the country as a whole have excellent competitive positions to satisfy this demand. Thanks to import substitution programmes and the work of industrial competence centres, Russia now has the most comprehensive industry solutions that are ready to be showcased, scaled, and exported, as well as project consortia and competent development teams. But today, new models of export and international cooperation are needed that meet the principles of the emerging new world order: justice, sovereignty, compatibility, and reasonability. New global models of interaction must be developed, and this should start where globality directly affects efficiency: logistics, finance, and outer space. Globalization is not being cancelled under the new world order, but it will be different than it was in a unipolar world. The creation of a national digital transport and logistics platform is a priority that will benefit the state and business. What are the goals and principles of integrating the Russian platform with the similar platforms of friendly countries in order to increase the efficiency of commodity logistics and protecting it against the sanctions pressure of unfriendly countries? How are pilot projects being implemented for the integration of national logistics platforms?
