• Study of the impact of e-commerce, internet trade and scientific research activities on economic development. Analysis of the impact of innovative and technical progress on sustainable economic development. A study of the impact of e-commerce on the creation of new market segments, the speed of business development, the total cost of provisioning, sales and advertising. The impact of e-commerce on companies and society will be significant in both scale and intensity. This study aims to establish ways to increase the efficiency of Internet trade and the possibilities by which this type of activity contributes to economic development and becomes a factor in increasing the competitiveness of companies.

Innovative aspects in the management of the regional economy of Ukraine in turbulent conditions. Coordinator Olena Amelnytska https://orcid.org/0000-0001-5296-1688, amelnytska_o_v@pstu.edu

• Formation of strategic guidelines for the development of transport of Ukraine in the context of European integration policy. Use of digital communications to increase the reliability of logistics and supply chain management.

Interoperability plays an increasingly important role for modern logistics and supply chain management (LSCM) due to cooperative or cooperative trends. In particular, digital interoperability regarding the exchange of data or information becomes a key factor for the next evolutions, which will rely heavily on digitization, artificial intelligence and autonomous systems. The concept of the Physical Internet (PI) is one such evolution, an innovative global logistics paradigm aimed at interconnecting and coordinating logistics networks for efficiency and sustainability. This strand explores how digital interoperability can help interconnect logistics and supply networks, as well as operational solutions for sustainable development, and explores new challenges and research opportunities for digital interoperability under the PI paradigm. To this end, we study the most relevant technologies for digital compatibility in LSCM. Research on the economic development of electronic commerce and Internet commerce.
