Introduction. The intellectualization of business processes in the country, the development of the startup industry, and the implementation of advanced scientific achievements in the practice of domestic entrepreneurship will play a significant role in ensuring the recovery of Ukraine’s economy after the war. Accordingly, the problem of improving the quality of education and the applied orientation of scientific and technical developments based on the intensification of cooperation between educational, scientific and business institutions, taking into account the global trends of digitization of the economy and society, is actualized. The purpose of the article is to analyze the methods of cooperation between educational, scientific and business institutions in the conditions of digitalization and prove scientific and practical recommendations for optimizing the interaction between them in the conditions of war and post-war recovery. Results. Strengthening cooperation between business and the educational and scientific sphere in developed countries makes it possible to increase the productivity of human capital, boost the competitiveness of graduates in the market, and also contributes to the practical use of the achievements of scientists. In domestic conditions, the advantage for business will be the training of highly qualified specialists who will be able to competently perform the necessary functions and the tasks set by the management. Simultaneously, universities and scientific institutions will obtain extra funding to update equipment or other needs. The result of the interaction will be an affirmative effect for the digital transformation of the national economy, its stability in the conditions of war and post-war recovery. Conclusions. The state regulates economic growth due to high-quality education and science, while the system of higher education and effective scientific institutions in the long term affect the sustainability of economic growth. Tools for intensifying cooperation between educational, scientific and business institutions, which can be applied and are potentially effective, are tax and budgetary levers of influence. Their scientifically based, practical and timely implementation will be the key to the post-war recovery of Ukraine’s economy and the building of a digital society.
