The article is devoted to a comprehensive study of the role of digital ecosystems as a driver of socio-economic development of territories. The purpose of the study is to theoretically substantiate and empirically assess the impact of digital ecosystems on the parameters of sustainable regional development. The paper systematizes theoretical approaches to defining the essence of digital ecosystems, identifies key components and mechanisms of their functioning in a regional context. A conceptual model of the interaction of elements of the digital ecosystem with the socio-economic subsystems of the region has been developed. Based on the analysis of empirical data on the subjects of the Russian Federation for the period 2020-2024. A positive correlation has been established between the level of development of digital infrastructure and indicators of economic growth, social well-being and environmental sustainability of regions. A typology of regions by the level of maturity of digital ecosystems is proposed and recommendations for the formation of a regional digital transformation policy are developed.
