Smart technologies and logistics as drivers of development of a special economic zone

Abstract

As you know, a special economic zone (SEZ) is a territory to which the state has granted a special legal status and economic benefits, but without effective logistics and smart technologies, the work of zone residents is not possible. The technology-innovative SEZs are the institutional basis for testing, improving and scaling “smart technologies”. Strategic supply chain management is needed with access to international organizational interaction of both individual participants and the SEZ as a whole. The article discusses the criteria that determine the effectiveness of LPI logistics both at the country level and at the level of individual territories and SEZ. A comparative assessment is carried out and the current situation on the effectiveness of logistics management of the Caspian littoral states is modeled. The analysis of the dynamics of six indicators of the comparative efficiency of logistics. The authors proposed an option to optimize the development of the SEZ. The hypothesis about the possibility of using the LPI modeling system to assess the prospects for the development of the territory of the SEZ is confirmed.
