The relevance of the study of intelligent digital technopolises in the context of economic security of depressed regions is determined by the need to integrate advanced technologies and innovative management methods to stimulate regional development. The aim of the study is to develop methodological and practical recommendations for the creation and functioning of such technopolises, taking into account specific technological and socio-economic factors of depressed regions. The study applied the methods of systematic literature review and web scraping, which allowed us to conduct a deep analysis of existing models of technopolises and their applicability in depressed regions. As a result of the study, the concepts of intellectual economy were analyzed in terms of differentiating approaches to intelligent and intellectual economy. It is concluded that technopolis in depressed regions not only stimulates economic activity, but also forms a stable basis for long-term development, which is a key factor of economic security in the conditions of intellectual and digital economy. A comprehensive analysis of the existing models of technopolises with a focus on their applicability in depressed regions has been carried out. This aspect is innovative, as it has not been previously considered in the context of the specifics of the intellectual digital technopolis model. The key technological and socio-economic factors influencing the successful functioning of intelligent digital technopolises were identified. Within the framework of the research, the classical technopolis wheel was modified for the first time, which allows taking into account the factors of intellectualization and digitalization. Methodological and practical recommendations for optimizing policy in the field of creating and supporting the functioning of intelligent digital technopolises in depressed regions are formulated. The recommendations take into account the unique characteristics of depressed regions. The results of the study can serve as a basis for research and practical application in strategic planning and development management of depressed regions. Further research can be aimed at studying the impact of macroeconomic factors on the success of smart digital technopolis projects in depressed regions, as well as the development of indicators and metrics to assess the effectiveness of smart digital technopolises from the point of view of economic security.
