Modern economic systems are being transformed under the influence of new technological trends. A number of important technology trends are related to information technologies (IT). Their widespread use leads to the emergence of a new type of economy, the digital economy (DE), which determines the scope and new directions of innovation and business. This opens up great opportunities for small innovative businesses, which can play a major role in its formation. The article is aimed at clarifying the essence and segmentation of DE and presenting it as an environment for developing innovative activity at small businesses. The essence of IT, software, and information systems is specified. The concept of IT is explained, and the essence of digitalization and digital transformations is specified. The essential features of DE are identified, and its components (IT, infrastructure, and business) and the basis (social networks, big data devices, etc.) are specified. DE is based on a technological "core" (IT, various technical platforms, physical technologies); has a functional "core" (digital platforms, systems of workgroup computing, process automation); encompasses economic activity; includes a number of goods and services that are critically dependent on IT. It is substantiated that IT creates a special virtual environment and new forms of markets. It is suggested to segment DE, for example:: e-commerce; e-marketing; e-procurement; electronic auctions; electronic infrastructures; e-logistics; electronic medicine; e-education; electronic trading; electronic banking; electronic insurance. The emergence of FinTech, "smart farms", "smart factories", "smart warehouses", "smart things", "smart home", "smart jobs", etc. is also noted. The obtained segmentation determines the directions of structural development of DE. It is substantiated that IT creates opportunities for innovative activity of small businesses and should be considered as corresponding environment. The understanding of the development of innovation activity and its areas in DE are clarified. In this context, the lines of the state regulation of DE are defined.

The article identifies and characterizes the components of the architecture of institutional support for the development of the digital economy sector in Ukraine. The structure of institutional support consists of the elements we have identified: the institutional and legal basis, the institutional and organizational platform, the institutional and infrastructural support, and the institutional and economic block, the institutional and psychological environment. To form an institutional and psychological environment, it is necessary to form a single digital environment of trust, to promote the development of infrastructure for the protection and safeguarding of intellectual property, to promote the benefits and opportunities of digitalization of the economy. In order to work effectively in the environment of the institutional and economic bloc, the implementation of public-private partnership programs, development of infrastructure to support high-tech start-ups and support of investment infrastructure for specialization is relevant. The essence of institutional and infrastructural support is the creation of digital platforms for business, state and public, the formation of unified digital cloud platforms, the development of the institutional environment of research and development in the digital economy and the construction of information infrastructure. The development of the institutional and organizational platform is the formation of institutional support for planning the state policy of development of the digital sector, creating institutions to coordinate the activities of stakeholders in the digital economy and introducing the institution of monitoring the development of the digital economy and public policy. The formation and implementation of state policy on the development of the digital economy sector is argued. For a more systematic approach to the growth of state regulation of the dynamics of the digital economy sector, a conceptual hierarchy of institutional support for certain strategic and program documents at different levels of economic management has been developed.

It is proved that for effective state regulation of industry it is necessary to pursue a clear, high-quality and purposeful state industrial policy. To do this, we should use the full range of available mechanisms and tools. In the course of the research it was established that industrial policy means a set of measures of state regulation of economic processes at the sectoral and corporate levels, aimed at stimulating innovation activity, structural adjustment of the economy and economic growth. The necessity of pursuing the new industrial policy, which can be defined as a policy of maintaining competitiveness, is substantiated. It is determined that the process of state regulation of industry is a set of actions of the state as an institution used to influence the activities of economic entities (enterprises, corporations, entrepreneurs, etc.), as well as certain aspects of this activity related to acquisition of factors of production, organization of production, distribution and sale of goods and services in all phases of the life cycle of the business entity and the life cycle of its products. State regulation based on industrial policy has both positive and critical statements, the essence of which depends on the subject under discussion, namely, policy as a set of state measures and policy as a means to achieve political goals. It is proposed to allocate a list of new conditions for the implementation of effective state regulation of industry on the basis of state industrial policy, which form the conceptual basis of the new industrial policy. The main (basic) characteristics of state regulation of industry on the basis of traditional and new industrial policy are given, where the scenarios of traditional (vertical) policy and new (horizontal) policy are based. Based on the analysis of the practice of state regulation of industry in the European Union, priority areas of regulation have been identified, namely: increasing competitiveness through the development of new markets; strengthening of innovative activity, development of knowledge-intensive businesses; accelerating the process of restructuring companies and industries; improving the institutional and legislative environment; protection of intellectual and property rights; improving the quality and skills of the workforce.


The article deals with the essence of the digital economy on the basis of research of theoretical approaches, their systematization from the point of view of introduction of information resources and platforms, and from the viewpoint of introduction of qualitative changes in production relations. The conclusions state that the innovative activity of enterprises in the period of digital transformation of the economy is a system of measures aimed at supporting the innovative activity of enterprises in order to achieve long-term goals of their operation, connected with the implementation of innovative methods of work, which contribute to ensuring the production and competitiveness. The digital economy contributes to the commercialization of current knowledge of enterprises, technologies and equipment. The prerequisite for their efficient functioning is the development of innovative activity of enterprises, which contributes to the development of innovative products with new qualities and reduces the diffusion of innovation. In the context of the digital economy, support for the innovation activity of enterprises plays an increasingly important role in ensuring the functioning of complex production and economic systems, which is the enterprise. The implementation of the suggested approach to the development of innovative activity of the enterprise requires significant accounting for specific accumulated knowledge and is more mobile to change information in the decision-making process.
