Abstract: In the conditions of the development of the digital environment, innovative activities become a priority area of economic development that draws not only substantial material and financial resources but also human capital. The existing models designed to assess innovative activities in a region do not give an assessment of conditions for innovative activities. The study aims to develop methods for the assessment of conditions for innovative activities in a region based on a complex consideration of knowledge management factors that allow determining priority areas of regional policy in the digital environment. With regard to the study problems, the authors used a set of basic general scientific methods: comparison, analysis, synthesis, systemization, formalization, statistical estimation, economic mathematical modeling, methods of verifying the reproducibility of the models used on calculation examples. The model presented in the article allows the authors to evaluate the very conditions of innovative activities from the position of knowledge management factors in the conditions of the digital environment. The model’s practical application makes it possible to define priority areas for the development of the innovative sector. This, in turn, promotes the formation of the digital environment. The study results have been tested on the example of Russian constituent entities.
