Abstract: The purpose of the study was to study the organizational and economic mechanism of technology transfer in agriculture, to identify new ways of transfer based on the active use of information and communication technologies and the creation of digital platforms. The development of information and communication technologies, due to the acceleration of the scientific and technological process in the global and Russian economy, has led to the digital transformation of business processes, digitalization of technological processes aimed at improving the efficiency of the real sector of the economy. The active development and availability of a large number of innovative technologies in modern agriculture necessitates the constant support of agricultural producers in matters of technological re-equipment and modernization of the production process, informing business entities about new technologies and developments of specialized scientific institutions. To this end, it is advisable to create and use specialized digital platforms that ensure effective communication between developers and potential consumers of these technologies. These platforms should ensure coordinated activities of the state, scientific institutions and private business structures for the effective use and enhancement of intellectual, scientific, technical, production potential and human capital in the creation of a new modern infrastructure and the introduction of innovations in the agricultural sector of the country. In the article, the authors present the results of a survey, the respondents of which were residents of rural areas, workers and managers of agricultural enterprises, heads of peasant farms, individual entrepreneurs producing agricultural products. Thus, the results of the survey indicate that the digital scientific and technological platform "Technology Transfer: Modern agriculture" is accessible to users, easy to use and provides high availability of information about new technologies. The responses of the respondents confirm that the interface of the developed platform makes it easy to navigate the presented material, and contributes to improving the efficiency of the transfer mechanism. This platform also contributes to the acceleration of technology transfer, as it reduces the time spent searching for potential consumers and developers of new technologies. The reported study was funded by RFBR, project number 20-010-00324
