Abstract

The research was performed within the research work “Spiritually-noosphere-sustainable economic development as a breakthrough theory of post-classical economics (methodological principles of formation)” (state registration number 0117U004936). The hypothesis is substantiated that today economic transformations at the level of world and national economy are caused by complex influence of modern megatrends, first of all by COVID-19 pandemic and digitalization of economy and society. The nature and degree of influence of global trends and processes of Industry 4.0 and digitalization on the fateful spheres of life support in Ukraine are revealed. The system of theoretical views on the global trend of Industry 4.0 is systematized and structured, according to which the most significant changes in the socio-economic sphere take place. Practical recommendations have been developed on the need to switch to the Industry 4.0 model in some of the most important areas of economic development. The sequence of development of the Industry 4.0 platform in the economy of Ukraine is determined.
