It provides an overview of key technology paradigms shaping economic growth and outlines the primary characteristics of the digital economy, such as shifts in production resources, evolving IT cycles, and the importance of networked models emphasizing connectivity, self-sufficiency, and autonomy. The economic landscape of the digital era is analyzed, with a focus on institutional frameworks, relational norms, and the prerequisites for adapting education systems to meet digital economy demands. The role of knowledge in societal evolution and its interaction with institutional environments and information domains is highlighted, alongside tools for information processing and protection.

Based on these findings, proposals are formulated to advance the digital economy in the Republic of Iraq, addressing challenges and leveraging opportunities identified through statistical analysis and provided data.
