The aim of this paper is to investigate the implications of the fourth industrial revolution for technological competitiveness, its definition and measurement methods. An empirical part is aimed at identifying comparative advantages of the European Union in digital technologies. Recently new approaches have appeared to measure digital competitiveness, however they use a broad definition of competitiveness that encompasses not only technological factors but also the macroeconomic and institutional environment (IMD, 2017; WEF, 2018). There is still a limited number of studies focused on the technological dimension of competitiveness in digital technologies. This paper fills the gap by developing a conceptual framework based on patent indicators, i.e. Patent Share and Revealed Technological Advantage indices. It allows a consistent analysis of the comparative advantages of the EU member states in digital technologies to be conducted. The results confirm a huge diversity within the EU in terms of digital technologies, their global impact and comparative advantages.

W artykule podjęto problem potencjalnych przewag technologicznych gospodarek regionów Europy Środkowo-Wschodniej. Wykorzystując narzędzia w postaci The WIPO Technology Concordance Table oraz indeksu względnej przewagi komparatywnej – Balassa’s Revealed Comparative Advantage, poszukuje się odpowiedzi na pytanie o kierunki i dynamikę zmian technologicznych w regionach krajów, które po 2003 r. przystąpiły do Unii Europejskiej. Głównymi celami badawczymi są: identyfikacja potencjalnych przewag technologicznych regionów Europy Środkowo-Wschodniej oraz ocena ich zróżnicowania w układzie międzyregionalnym. Zasadniczymi ustaleniami wynikającymi z przeprowadzonej analizy są: (1) poziom rozwoju regionu determinuje liczbę rozwijanych specjalizacji; (2) w grupie 16 najbardziej rozwiniętych regionów Europy Środkowo-Wschodniej obserwuje się występowanie efektu konwergencji w zakresie przewag technologicznych.

This paper takes up the problem of the potential technological advantages of the economies of the regions of Central and Eastern Europe. An answer to the question of the directions and change dynamics of technology in the regions of countries that joined the European Union after the year 2003 was sought utilizing the WIPO Technology Concordance Table and the Balassa Revealed Comparative Advantage Index. The main research goals were the identification of potential technological advantages of the regions of Central and Eastern Europe and an assessment of their diversification in an interregional configuration. The basic findings stemming from the conducted analysis are: (1) The level of development of the region defines the number of developing specialties. (2) A convergence effect in the area of technological advantage is observable in the group of the sixteen most developed regions of Central and Eastern Europe.
