The article investigates the strategic priorities for the digital transformation of the public governance ecosystem based on an analysis of foreign experience. The research aims to identify the key areas that ensure a successful transition to a digital model of public administration. The methodological foundation is a systematic review and synthesis of scientific literature, alongside a comparative analysis of case studies from countries such as Estonia, South Korea, Germany, India, and the Gulf states. The results demonstrate that digital transformation is a complex socio-technical process that goes far beyond the mere adoption of technologies. The key strategic priorities identified are: the transition to a platform-based governance model (Government as a Platform), investments in intelligent technologies (AI, big data, blockchain), human capital development and citizen-centricity, the creation of adaptive regulatory and ethical frameworks, and the improvement of institutional design and leadership. The conclusion is drawn that the success of transformation depends on a balanced approach that combines technological innovation with deep organizational and institutional changes, data governance, and ensuring inclusivity.
