Tkachev Nikita Sergeevich "Evidence-based policy of technological sovereignty – case of St. Petersburg"

It is politically clear that in the context of sanctions and restrictions on technological development, Russia today needs to turn to the achievement of technological sovereignty. Theoretically, many questions arise here, concerning both the correlation of various sovereignties, the essence of technological sovereignty and the policy of ensuring it. At the same time, the idea of a connection between technological sovereignty and the modern phase of the development of technology, or the technological order, which today is called the seventh, is significant, taking into account all the experience of the technological development of countries.
The student understood the specifics of technological sovereignty, described the main approaches to ensuring it, and identified the features of the policy of technological sovereignty in St. Petersburg in a comparative perspective relative to the all-Russian policy. An interesting analysis of the technocratic direction in the evidence-based policy of technological sovereignty, which dominates in Russia.
