Subject. This article discusses industry digital transformation in the Samara Oblast and the mechanism development for its implementation.
Objectives. The study aims to determine the current level of digitalization of the region's industrial complex, identify systemic problems, and develop a phased mechanism for digital transformation.
Methods. For the study, I used comparative and structural analyses of statistical data, systems approach and design methods, and expert evaluations.
Results. The article identifies the disparities in the technological development of the region. It also develops a three-stage mechanism for digital transformation.
Conclusions. The proposed mechanism makes it possible to overcome the fragmentation of digitalization and create conditions for the technological sovereignty of the region. Integration with the state industrial information system and a focus on domestic technological solutions are of key importance.

Keywords: digital transformation, State Information System of Industry, technological sovereignty, regional development, industrial ecosystem
