The article examines the specifics of digital literacy in the context of an innovative economy. A brief historical overview of the emergence of the concept of “digital literacy” and its spread over the past 20–25 years is given. Digital literacy is defined as a set of technical and cognitive skills necessary for navigating in a digital environment, equally essential for both the modern economy and scientific and technological development. The important role of digital literacy in an economy based on innovation is outlined. The article offers a concise comparative analysis of the situation with the development of digital literacy in three countries (USA, India, and Australia) and a comparison of foreign experience with Russian. A general analysis of the challenges in the field of digital literacy for Russia in the context of the problems of higher education and science policies is carried out.
