The development of digital services markets is a key driver of economic growth, regional competitiveness, and social inclusion. This study examines the organizational and economic mechanisms that facilitate the formation of digital services markets in the Aral Sea region, an area characterized by environmental challenges, limited infrastructure, and socio-economic disparities. The study makes explicit contributions regarding how coordination, knowledge sharing and entrepreneurship are fostered by organizational structures such as innovation hubs, publicprivate partnerships, and collaborative networks. Furthermore, market participation and sustainable business development of individual economic instruments including investments in renewables, tax benefits for renewable energy and venture capital are examined. It also explores the role of human capital, regulatory consistency and platform-based solutions in promoting the adoption and impact of digital services. Results show that the combination of technological, organizational and economic instruments is mandatory to promote an inclusive, resilient and sustainable development of digital markets in the region. Our exploration adds to the knowledge of how specific policy environments and institutional arrangements enable digital transformation in environmentally and economically fragile regions.
