This article analyzes the future scenarios of regional socio-economic development in the context of forming an innovation economy, grounded in scientific evidence. The introduction outlines contemporary trends (digital transformation, artificial intelligence, green technologies, and climate change), while the literature review is based on several scholarly research works from prestigious journals over the past five years, encompassing the evolution of RIS (regional innovation systems), empirical models, and policy recommendations. The methodology relies on systematic literature review (SLR) and scenario planning. The results delineate three scenarios: optimistic (2–5% growth through digital integration), pessimistic (inequality and stagnation), and mixed (transformative adaptation). The conclusion proposes strengthening RIS and investing in green innovations
