At present, digital platforms play an important role in economic development by improving interfirm interaction, reducing transaction costs, and supporting cooperation within value chains. Due to their growing relevance, digital platforms have become an important element of national and regional public policy. This study identifies and analyzes the factors associated with the level of digital platform integration in the regional economy of the Russian Federation, with particular attention to the Republic of Tatarstan. To address this task, the study applies econometric modeling based on the Within-Between panel data model using regional data for 2020–2023. The results show that digital platform integration is statistically associated with e-commerce activity, interfirm cooperation in innovation, organizational expenditures on information technology, and the volume of regulated procurement. The strongest association is observed for the share of organizations conducting most of their sales via the Internet. The findings clarify the specific features of the Russian digital platform market and provide a basis for policy recommendations aimed at strengthening digital platform integration in Russia and the Republic of Tatarstan. © 2026, Qubahan.
