The article discusses the challenges, threats, and barriers to the implementation of digital technologies in the context of the interrelationship between regional conditions and industry specifics. The theoretical part justifies the need to analyze digitalization as a process that depends on the alignment of infrastructure, institutional, and human resource parameters of the environment with the requirements of organizations. The empirical part is based on the dynamics of indicators characterizing the development of cloud infrastructure, changes in the role of the IT industry in the economy, and the state of digital competencies of the population for 2019–2024. Based on the interpretation of the identified trends, practical measures have been formulated aimed at reducing regional disparities, increasing the sustainability of digital solutions implementation, and strengthening human capital as a condition for effective digital transformation. The proposed measures are aimed at increasing the accessibility of digital infrastructure, reducing the organizational costs of implementation, and creating more sustainable conditions for the spread of digital practices.
