Abstract: The paper offers a comprehensive approach to assessing the state of the scientific and educational potential of the Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa (BRICS) member countries to determine the possibilities of their advanced development based on knowledge and their achievement of digital leadership. The comparative analysis of the key development indicators allowed the authors to conclude that the BRICS alliance is a real competitive force that is increasing its influence in the global economy, gradually weakening the positions of developed countries. It is proved that by strengthening specific components of scientific and educational potential, the BRICS countries can provide a digital breakthrough in the global economy. The integral indicator of the scientific and educational potential of the BRICS countries has been calculated, as well as the corresponding grouping of countries into 'locomotive countries' and "catching up countries". Tools to strengthen the scientific and educational potential of each selected group of countries as conditions for intensive knowledge-based development and ensuring digital leadership are proposed.
