The authors have disclosed basic capabilities and limitations of the use of models of PPP. In the scientifc revolution unsettled economic categories “virtual economy,” “network economy,” “information economy,” which opens promising areas of research. In turn, the category of “PPP” breaks new ground in understanding the nature of interaction between businesses and public authorities. The question arises, present or absent interconnection of informatization of society (and the economy) and the development of PPP? What is the model of PPP within the framework of interaction of regional socio-economic systems in a trans-regional space? In our study, we assume that the PPP within the framework of the interaction of regional socio- economic systems in a trans-regional space - an alliance of government and business to achieve the maximum development of information society, the formation of the virtual economy and the associated virtual interaction of regional socio-economic systems in a trans-regional space.
