As part of the National Achievements Forum, the Digital Economy Day is being held at the RUSSIA EXPO on February 6. The main event of the business program was a plenary session dedicated to the main achievements of this industry.

The event was attended by Dmitry Chernyshenko, Deputy Prime Minister of Russia, Maksut Shadaev, Minister of Digital Development, Communications and Mass Media, Andrey Vorobyev, Governor of the Moscow region, Dmitry Ugnivenko, Deputy Minister of Digital Development, as well as Sergey Tsvetkov, Oleg Kachanov, Alexander Shoitov, Sergey Kuchushev, Evgeny Filatov and other heads of leading Russian IT companies and business representatives.

Dmitry Chernyshenko noted the high importance of information and communication technologies in the life of modern people, as well as the active development of the IT-industry in Russia.

"Today, 110 million people already have confirmed accounts and actively use the Gosuslugi (State Services) portal. Over 340 million services were provided on it last year. The daily audience of the portal in 2023 exceeded 11 million people. Our ICT industry is undergoing a new technological breakthrough. We are seeing traffic growth of 30-50% annually, and hybrid networks are increasingly being introduced. Russian IT solutions are actively developing. 19.8 thousand software products and databases are listed in the register of domestic software," said Dmitry Chernyshenko.

The plenary session summarized the results of the implementation of the national project "Digital Economy", discussed initiatives to implement the national project "Data Economy", which will start in 2025.

"The national program "Digital Economy" is a big, large-scale, ambitious project. It has been implemented since 2019 with the participation of more than 50 federal agencies and all regions of the country, and by these indicators we are breaking all records. The program is in effect until the end of the year, but right now we are ready to summarize the main results and formulate the tasks for the next period," said Maksut Shadaev.

Andrey Vorobyov drew attention to the main goal of digital interaction.

"There should not be digitalization for the sake of digitalization. Therefore, for us, the goals of digital transformation are convenience for an individual and efficiency of the state. We aim to have fewer visits to the MFC every year. And the number of face-to-face applications is gradually decreasing. If in 2021 there were 15.2 million of them, in 2023 it was already 12.3 million. This was achieved thanks to the digitalization of services. The number of requests for online services is gradually increasing - from 25.4 million in 2021 to 30.2 million in 2023. There are more than 30 projects with artificial intelligence technologies in the Moscow region. The economic effect of AI implementation in three years is about 1.6 billion rubles," said Andrey Vorobyov.

The session also addressed such issues as the development of human resources potential in the domestic IT industry, government support for the transition to digital interaction between citizens, business and government, IT security and others.
