Innovation landscape as a basis for innovation activity of railway transport enterprises

Abstract

Digitalisation is the only strategic direction for the future development o f railway transport enterprises that not only meets global trends in industrial transformation but also ensures high-quality integration of domestic railways into the trans-European transport communications system. Unfortunately, neither the pace of innovation nor the number of digital transformation projects implemented by railway companies meet the requirements of digitalisation. It is clear that the possibility of a full digital transformation of railway companies is limited by the influence of military and political factors that limit the state's ability to invest in such projects. Due to the allocation of a significant part of state financial support to compensate for the operating costs of railway companies and the complete lack of external investment due to the high level of investment risks in the country, digital transformation projects have not yet been implemented.
