Putin proposed to transfer Russian digital technologies to African countries Russia is ready to share developments in the field of digital technologies with African countries, Vladimir Putin said at the Russia-Africa Forum in Moscow. According to him, Russia has achieved "impressive results" in securing technological sovereignty. He noted that the country has created digital solutions for government administration, platform services and models of large languages. In some areas, foreign competitors need to catch up with Russia and copy its developments, Putin says. "Russia is open to transfer our modern capabilities and high-tech digital know-how to our African friends," he said. He also accused Western countries of trying to force African countries into "debt enslavement" and said that Russia was involved in their financial recovery. In addition, Putin promised to expand the supply of food and fertilizers to Africa, as well as to develop cooperation in the fields of education and flights. Statements about Russia's technological successes came against the background of a decline in the share of inventions in the world. According to the Institute for Statistical Research and Knowledge Economy of the Higher School of Economics of the National Research University, Russia accounts for 0.8% of the inventions created in the world compared to 1.6% in 2010.
