The research aims to prove that the development of the digital economy in Russia sets out new requirements to drawing up regional documents of strategic development. The paper examines basic concepts characterising the phenomenon of the digital economy, its main development trends, the nature of its impact on economic environment, what allows proposing author’s own treatment of the digital economy. The paper systematises new technological trends shaping the future image of the industry in the global economy. The author justifies the necessity to build “the image of the future” of regions in the strategic documents of socioeconomic development prepared by the subjects of the Russian Federation. The researcher detects trends in the development of information and communication technologies in the industry of Sverdlovsk oblast and assesses its information sufficiency in contrast to the data on Russia generally. The paper formulates main features of “the image of the future” of industrial complex in the Middle Urals.
