The purpose of the study is to substantiate the directions of foreign concepts of information (digital) economy. Methodology: the theoretical and methodological basis of the study are the fundamental and analytical foundations of digital economics research, to ensure the conceptual integrity To ensure the conceptual integrity of the research we used post-nonclassical methodology based on the Agile-methodology and Agile-philosophy as a new paradigm of informational (digital) economics, which represents the methodology of complexity, as well as systemic, axiological and informational methods and approaches, which allowed to present the foreign concepts of informational (digital) economics in their entirety. Methods of analysis and synthesis, generalization and systematization, historical and logical and comparative methods were used. The scientific importance of the work is that the world experience of forming the concepts of information (digital) economy, the use of effective mechanisms to ensure the development of a dynamic digital ecosystem capable of long-term benefits, to develop regulatory mechanisms that will be attractive to startups and talented professionals with high potential, which will promote the development of a dynamic digital ecosystem capable of bringing long-term benefits. The value of the study lies in the development of practical recommendations of improving the digital economy based on knowledge and digital technologies, which realize new opportunities for society, business and government.
