Environmental and technological projects as an instrument of industrial policy in Industry 5.0 conditions
Abstract In the conditions of Industry 5.0, industrial integration, which affects the interests of all stakeholders in the territory where industrial enterprises are present, must be studied and assessed from the perspective of the trinity of economic (technological), environmental and social efficiency. An effective tool for implementingthe policy of technological sovereignty and sustainable development of the industrial sector are environmental and technological projects that comply with the principles of the best available technologies. The article suggests factors that should be taken into account when selecting environmental and technological projects, as well as the main directions for their assessment, ensuring the achievement of economic, environmental and social development goals and contributing to the technological sovereignty of the domestic economy. The authors analyzed a number of cases describing projects implemented by industrial clusters and symbioses operating in various regions of the Russian Federation, from the perspective of their compliance with the above factors. Problems and promisingdirections of environmental and technological transformation of domestic industrial production in modern realities have been identified.
Keywords: territorial sustainable development, industrial integration, industrial symbiosis, environmental and technological projects, Industry 5.0.
Highlights:
♦ in the context of the development of Industry 5.0, cross-sectoral environmental and technological projects that comply with the principles of the best available technologies should be considered as an instrument of regional industrial policy aimed at achieving technological sovereignty; these projects can be most effectively implemented through the integration of industrial actors (industrial clusters, symbioses, etc.);
♦ a balanced approach to the assessment of cross-sectoral environmental and technological projects, taking into account economic, social and environmental-technological effects, will contribute to more transparent decision-makingand will help strengthen the role of industrial enterprises and their integrations on the path to sustainable development of regions;
♦ a holistic approach to the management of domestic industrial production is required, linking goals, strategies, development tools at the level of individual industrial enterprises, their integrations (clusters, symbioses, etc.), regions, uniting the efforts of all stakeholders and ensuring a synergistic effect and sustainable economic development.
