Digital platform for supply chain management in neoclusters

The article describes the use of digital integrated platforms for supply chain management in neoclusters. The article examines the evolution of the cluster concept in economic literature and identifies the distinctive features of a neocluster (inter - industry cooperation, active use of the latest technologies and research for business development, use of elements of artificial intelligence, big data, automation and smart systems; implementation of the concept of sustainable development in business) as an improved form of a business cluster that can be formed in new industries or transformed from a classical cluster as a result of digitalization. It has been established that joint supply chain management through digital integration platforms is an important condition for the formation and development of neoclusters, process optimization, improving interaction between participants and increasing competitiveness in neoclusters. Digital platforms and neoclusters have become powerful engines of modern logistics and supply chain management and play a key role in creating innovative ecosystems that stimulate the growth and development of industries and regions. Mechanisms for coordination and management of supply chains have been developed, such as the formation of a cluster core and filtering cluster participants. The criteria for selecting the core and participants of the neocluster have been determined. Foreign experience in the implementation of digital platforms for supply chain management, examples of their successful application in neoclusters in the fields of healthcare, education, and green urban planning have been studied. An approach is proposed for creating a platform for supply chain management in neoclusters of the Republic of Belarus using domestic developments: Belarusian IT solutions, technologies and services that will contribute to the development of the national technological base and ensure the technological sovereignty of the Republic of Belarus, ensure security and data protection, maintain the confidentiality of information using certified security measures. The tasks for implementing a platform solution for supply chain management in neoclusters are formulated.
