Data economy and digital transformation of states: a new national project was discussed at the RUSSIA EXPO
Representatives of business and government discussed the new
national project "Data Economy and Digital Transformation of States" at the
RUSSIA EXPO. Minister of Digital Development, Communications and Mass Media
Maksut Shadaev noted that the objectives of the new national project are
specified in the decree of Russian President Vladimir Putin on national
development goals — their number has increased from four in the previous
version of the decree to eleven.
In addition, according to the new national project, the
Ministry of Digital Development should ensure the creation of a modern
HR-platform for the entire system of state and municipal service, which will
allow a more effective selection of candidates for work in the government.
Also, "Data Economy and Digital Transformation of the State" implies the
development of digital interaction of citizens with government services.
As a result of the implementation of a set of measures, the
share of citizens who are satisfied with the work of state and municipal
employees, employees of social sphere institutions should increase by half, the
Minister said. Taken together, the changes that the national project will bring
about will make it possible to achieve the formation and digital maturity of
key sectors of the economy.
Experts and representatives of the industry spoke about the
plans for the development of digital technologies within the framework of the
new national project. In particular, it is assumed that high-speed mobile
Internet will become more accessible by 2030. In addition, the share of
domestic digital technologies in the market will increase — both in terms of
online services and equipment. Public services will also be further developed —
for example, it is planned to make it possible to issue and withdraw consent to
the transfer and processing of personal data in the personal account on State
Services (Gosuslugi), to transfer payment for housing and utilities services
online as much as possible, and many other projects. Special attention will be paid
to the support of new developments and the system of personnel training for the
IT-industry, anti-fraud systems and data protection, as well as artificial
intelligence.
