Managing innovative and technological development of industrial enterprises based on production-science-education integration in the context of achieving technological sovereignty and production localization

Aim. Based on an analysis of the economic essence of technological sovereignty and production localization, this study aims to explore the role of production, science, and education (PSE) integration and to propose recommendations for achieving technological sovereignty and increasing the level of production localization in contemporary Russia.

Objectives. To identify the prerequisites for and demonstrate the necessity of achieving technological sovereignty in contemporary Russia; to establish the essence of the relationship between the Technological Sovereignty and Production Localization categories; to assess the impact of production, science, and education integration processes on production localization and the achievement of technological sovereignty.

Methods. The study uses logical and systems approaches, and methods of institutional, structural-functional, economic-legal, and comparative analysis.

Results. This article examines the role of PSE integration as a key factor in successful production localization under contemporary geopolitical challenges that necessitate addressing the problem of achieving technological sovereignty. The study identifies problems in Russian economic development caused by sanctions pressure from unfriendly states. Given this, the article substantiates the objective need to achieve technological sovereignty through the localization of critical industries. The study assesses the current state of localization in industrial sectors. The article divides industries into groups with different levels of production localization and proposes a development strategy for each group. The study reveals the essence of PSE integration as a systemic phenomenon that includes the formation of a single innovation and technology cycle, from fundamental research to mass production.

Conclusion. The integration of production, science, and education is a necessary condition for successful production localization and for achieving technological sovereignty in Russia. Under conditions of external sanctions pressure and increasing political and economic turbulence, systemic linkages among these three sectors make it possible to provide a technological base, train qualified personnel, accelerate innovative development, and build closed production chains. Together, these conditions create the basis for successful production localization. The priority directions for developing PSE integration in the context of increasing localization levels and achieving technological sovereignty are critical industries (microelectronics, machine tool building, aircraft manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, and others) that are most dependent on imports, including from unfriendly countries.
