The formation of an industrial metaverse within the framework of the development of industrial systems

The article reveals the problems of sustainable development in the context of the transformation (digitalization) of economic systems based on the convergence of economic, technological and infrastructural worlds forming a new reality – the “industrial metaverse”. The study describes the Spatial Development Strategy of the Russian Federation, which sets sustainable growth through the use of consistency and integration of territorial development. As part of the analysis of spatial development, digitalized projects are presented, which are the most important condition for the formation of a meta-universe that ensures the creation of new forms of business interaction. The study confirms that the development of the industrial metaverse can be considered a response to such technological, economic, social and environmental challenges.
