On January 17, as part of the Digitalization Day at the RUSSIA EXPO, a plenary session entitled IT, Telecom, Internet: How National Leaders Develop Themselves and Develop the Industry is being held. Speakers representing leading companies in the Russian digital world take part in it. The session is divided into three large blocks of both discussions and speaker presentations: telecom, IT, internet and digital.

Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Dmitry Chernyshenko emphasized, speaking to the industry representatives, that one of the five national development goals is devoted specifically to digital transformation.

«By order of the President, we are making a step from the Digital Economy to the Data Economy — a new cross-cutting national project. We expect that thanks to the national project, the revenue of the top 100 IT companies will increase 2.5 times, to 5.3 trillion rubles, and GDP will grow by 11.2 trillion rubles due to artificial intelligence technologies. Citizens will have access to 3.5 times more public services online. By 2030, at least a thousand IT startups will be supported, about two thousand solutions and products will be created, as well as more than 850 thousand IT specialists will be trained», — said Dmitry Chernyshenko.

He also emphasized that the government should be able to quickly implement new solutions to promptly respond to the problems of citizens and requests from business. For this purpose, a unified digital platform GosTech is being developed under the Presidential Decree.

«In the next two years, more than 100 projects will be implemented on it, including ready-made services and standard solutions for the regions. Already this year, we will start transferring the systems and services of the constituent entities of Russia to GosTech. It is also important that the platform has an unprecedented level of protection — it is completely based on Russian software and technological solutions, it is protected from natural and cyber threats", - emphasized Dmitry Chernyshenko.

The moderator of the plenary session, Sergei Plugotarenko, Director General of the Autonomous Non-Profit Organization Digital Economy, noted that the solid indicators achieved by our digital and IT industry «speak for themselves.»

«We have more than 100 million users in the Russian segment of the Internet. We have a substantial Internet economy. At the end of 2022 it amounted to 12 trillion rubles, there is a forecast that it will grow by another 35 percent at the end of 2023. No other economy is growing at such a pace», — emphasized Sergei Plugotarenko.

As part of the Digitalization Day at the RUSSIA EXPO with the initiative and support of the Ministry of Digital Development of the Russian Federation, numerous events will be held with leaders of the digital industry, with the telecom segment, with IT companies: these include masterclasses, lectures, and talk shows.
