<p>The purpose of the article is to determine and characterize relationships and their causality between indicators of digitalization of social relations and level of university-industry R&amp;D collaboration. To conduct the research, a sample was formed for 20 countries of the world leaders in University-Industry R&amp;D Collaboration indicator (as a part of Global Innovation Index) in 2022, which covers the following indices for period from 2011 to 2020: indicators of university-industry R&amp;D collaboration, access to ICT, government online services, online creativity (as assessed by WIPO Global Innovation Index), and export of ICT goods (according to the World Bank).

As a result of the research, it was confirmed that the level of university-industry R&amp;D collaboration is affected by such indicators of digitalization of social relations as online creativity (in 16 from 20 sample countries), access to ICT (in 12 countries) and the share of ICT goods exports in total exports (in 11 countries).
