Annotation: The article examines the relevance of the problem of using and implementing innovations to achieve sustainable development in the context of international experience. The link between digitalization and sustainable development is an important aspect of the development of the IT sector, especially in light of the development of technologies such as artificial intelligence. Two areas of application of innovative technologies are distinguished: blockchain and the use of new IT technologies in medicine. Blockchain technology is actively used in the field of environmental monitoring. An innovative project, Planetwatch, is being analyzed, the purpose of which is to improve the quality of monitoring of environmental pollution. Attention is paid to the development of Internet technologies related to digital health. Developing projects Botkin.AI – a software platform for diagnosing and assessing the risk of diseases using artificial intelligence technologies and Artiness – an innovative startup that offers augmented reality solutions used in the field of medicine are analyzed. Shift towards digital health means complementing e-health capabilities with analytic and mathematical medical data processing and smart modules that provide new quality of care, including support for medical decision-making. It is concluded that the pandemic has accelerated an important global trend – digital transformation, blockchain and artificial intelligence, which allow uniting the efforts of authorities, corporations and citizens to solve many environmental and social problems that stand in the way of sustainable development of all mankind. Today, there is a great opportunity to take advantage of the post-pandemic period to accelerate recovery, including social recovery, and increase business resilience through innovation.

Annotation: Effective urbanization serves as a pivotal indicator for advancing socio-economic development. While developed nations have realized this objective successfully, propelled by advancements in the electrical sector, South Asian countries face hindrances, primarily limited access to electricity. This study delves into the impact of government policies on electricity concerning urban development, utilizing panel data spanning from 1996 to 2021. Apply- ing the Pooled Mean Group (PMG) regression method, the research discerns electricity’s substantial influence on the urbanization process in South Asian countries. Additionally, it uncovers the positive correlation between government expenditures and urban development, despite the detrimental effects of government employees’ ef- ficiency and monetary policies. These detriments are linked to skill shortages, corruption, and inadequate future development planning. To facilitate urbanization progress, South Asian governments must prioritize enhancing electricity access, improving employee efficiency, and adjusting monetary policies. This strategic approach can pave the way for accelerated urban development and comprehensive socio-economic growth.

Annotation: The problem of implementing the chosen model of socio-economic policy of the state is relevant today, which determines the need to study foreign experience in this area.
