Technological sovereignty as the fundamental basis of economic sovereignty in the system of ensuring Russia's economic security

   Relevance. In the context of global digitalization, aggravation of the geopolitical situation, sanctions pressure and the need for import substitution, technological sovereignty is becoming a strategic priority for Russia. Strengthening economic security requires the development of national approaches to the formation of an independent scientific and technological base.

   The purpose of the study is to define the role and significance of technological sovereignty as a fundamental basis for economic independence in ensuring the economic security of the Russian Federation, as well as to analyze its key indicators and development factors.

   Objectives: disclosure of the concept of technological sovereignty and its relationship with economic and innovative sovereignty; analysis of macroeconomic indicators reflecting the state and dynamics of technological development; proposal of state policy measures to strengthen technological sovereignty.

   Methodology. As part of the research, the authors use general scientific methods: scientific abstraction, analysis and synthesis, generalization of scientific practice, deduction, induction, economic and statistical analysis, comparison, summary, grouping.

   Results. The conducted research allowed us to form and highlight the following scientific results: a positive trend in the growth of manufacturing industries was found; indicators of economic security in the field of technological sovereignty were identified and their thresholds were proposed; and the need for institutional and state support for technological developments was identified.

   Conclusions. Technological sovereignty is the foundation for building a sustainable, independent and competitive economy. It is impossible to ensure long-term economic, social and political stability without forming our own scientific and technological base. The article highlights the need for an integrated approach to strengthening technological independence, including institutional measures, personnel policy, and R&D incentives.
