The article reveals the concept of a logistics unit, logistics and digital hubs. The aim of the study is to assess the competitive prospects for digitalization of the Russian logistics block of the Northern Sea and New Silk ways as a set of international logistics and digital hubs, as well as exhibition complexes and educational sites. The research is focused on combining the logistics sections of the Northern Sea Route and the New Silk way into a single logistics system with its further registration in digital space. The main goal of this system is to unite all available resources of the Russian Federation in its block of the international logistics system to attract the largest number of partners and customers. It is considering the possibility of combining the Northern Sea and New Silk way sections into a single system on the territory of the Russian Federation. The authors investigated the ways of digitalization of the logistics block of the NSR-NSW with the subsequent creation of a virtual space for the control and redistribution of trade throughout the Russian Federation. During the research, studies were conducted in the field of public administration, which use modern digital communications and digital security systems. Possibilities of implementing a system of digital hubs based on the results. As a result of the study, potential positive results from the implementation of the project of digital inter-hub networks in both the economic and social sectors were highlighted.
