Abstract
The paper provides a comprehensive study of the key issues arising in the digital transformation of a sovereign social economy, which is not only focused on economic efficiency and technological independence, but is also based on the social goals achieving (welfare, justice, sustainability) while maintaining the ability to independently set of political and strategic goals. The study does not only identify existing challenges arising in the process of digital transformation of the state but also substantiates the feasibility of various approaches synthesizing to achieving technological, economic, and digital sovereignty, thereby fostering social sovereignty. Particular attention is paid to analyzing the fundamental contradictions and challenges at the intersection of three key trends: ensuring sovereignty (control, security, autonomy), adhering to the principles of social economics (priority of the public good, inclusiveness, solidarity), and implementing digital transformation (speed, global interconnectedness, dominance of data and platforms).
