Abstract

This paper provides justification for the most promising directions of updating of the Ukrainian science and education sector in response to the objective digital transformations of public governance and global economy. The first path is the concentration of intellectual and financial efforts on the development and implementation of information platforms on blockchain as domestic, Ukrainian products, which would create a technological basis for the emergence of new types of business being based on similar platforms. The second direction is to build a resilient interaction between science and education, innovative startups and established businesses that are virtually unrelated in Ukraine today. The third path is the development of digital competencies and people skills based on the global digital literacy framework. Based on UNESCO recommendations, promising areas for improvements in education and digital skills for the population have shown the great expediency of training data scientists and scientists.
