Scientific concept of intelligent cyber-physical technopolis

Abstract

Theoretical concepts for the formation of an intelligent cyber-physical technopolis, an innovation-active cluster, and the provision of economic security for a depressed area are being studied. The evolution of the technopolis paradigm has been systematized over more than forty years. Three stages of the technopolis paradigm development have been identified: the first stage from 1983 to 1990, the second stage from 1990 to 2000, and the modern, third stage from 2000 to the present. Characteristics of the evolution of the technopolis paradigm are provided from the perspective of the conditions for development and the strategies for the implementation of technopolises. Key terminological constructs of the considered concept, such as technopolis and innovation-active cluster, are examined. A conceptual scheme of the "technopolis wheel" is presented, which broadly includes three key segments: networks and connectivity, investment capital, and innovation and R&D. It is shown that the key segments of the technopolis wheel are revealed based on seven components, connected by influencing agents. Four factors of technopolis development are identified. The concept of the technopolis wheel has important implications for the formation of a system-forming innovation-active cluster to enhance the economic security of the region. The main directions for further development of the technopolis paradigm are considered to be the need to create technological sovereignty under conditions of global competitiveness, distributed collaborative forms of cooperation based on networks, platforms, and ecosystems, the establishment of intensive partnerships based on the fivefold innovation spiral, and the creation of "smart" megacities in the intelligent economy.
