Transition of the Russian economy to the innovative development path has largely determined the nature of interaction between business and public authorities; in particular, new forms and directions of this process have appeared. In addition, interaction has become carried out through new tools (including digital ones) the use of which requires special skills, abilities and competencies from the interaction subjects. However, it is worth noting that the subjects have different degrees of readiness for such transformations (different levels of digital literacy, information awareness, etc.). Interaction forms and tools between government and business are characterized by regional specifics (their choice is largely due to the peculiarities of regional development). The research is aimed at analyzing the main forms, models and tools of interaction between government and business. In the course of the work, the authors use such a theoretical method-operation as analysis, an inductive-deductive method as a theoretical method-action. The study of literature, documents and activity results acts as an empirical method-operation. The paper identifies the forms and models of interaction between business and government as a result of the use of these methods, and reflects the evolution of these models in modern Russian realities. The research characterizes individual interaction tools (including digital ones) of the marked subjects. The article shows that only every tenth enterprise used federal support measures in its activities, an even smaller number – regional ones. In more than 40% of cases, support measures could not be obtained, but in the opposite situation, they were state orders and subsidies. Improvement interaction between government authorities and entrepreneurship is associated with creation of coordinating and advisory bodies of representatives of government authorities and heads of enterprises, with development of an operational information system for information exchange to eliminate administrative barriers. The research can be continued in the direction of analyzing other digital interaction tools between business and government, and identifying areas of using digital tools in the course of commercialization of research results
