Abstract: The article explores digital development and determines its role in improving the competitiveness of Ukraine. The definition of the digital economy has been given as an economy where the key factors and means of production are digital data (binary, information, etc.) and network transactions, as well as their use as a resource, which can significantly increase the efficiency and productivity of activities and value for products and services received. It has been outlined the reasons for Ukraine’s lag in the implementation of digitalization, namely: political and regulatory environment; low efficiency of Ukrainian legislative bodies, judicial system; problems with protection of intellectual property; low level of introduction of new technologies by business; low impact of IT on the emergence of new business models; outflow of human capital. The principles of digitalization have been analyzed. It has been proved the expediency of choosing the target development scenario by the state: the main motivation of Ukraine is ability of digital technologies to rapid increase in productivity and efficiency of economy and business (which leads to complete transformation of the old system and modernization due to digital technologies); a key strategy is a focus on the internal market; key initiatives are formation of motivation, demand, and digital needs for digital technologies among consumers (business, government, and citizens).
