Mikhail Mishustin spoke to the participants and guests of the Kazan Digital Week Forum The Kazan Digital Week International Forum is a platform for dialogue between businesses, experts and scientists on key issues in the development of digital technologies, creation and expansion of innovations in key sectors of the economy and public administration. Mikhail Mishustin recalled that the government paid special attention to creating favorable conditions for IT companies. Since last year, a special national project has been activated, stimulating the development of local digital platforms and products, as well as their practical application in industry, transport, health, agriculture and public administration. The Russian IT industry is showing active growth: over 6 years, the industry's share of GDP has more than doubled. The database of home software is expanding: today it contains tens of thousands of solutions. At the end of last year, the revenues of certified IT companies approached 8 trillion rubles. In the first half of this year, the figure already amounted to 6 trillion rubles. Over 1.7 million people are employed in the IT sector. To train professionals with a high level of skills, cooperation programs are launched between business and educational institutions and digital education centers are created. Mikhail Mishustin emphasized that under conditions of external limitations it is necessary to dynamically expand the range of home software, cloud services and industrial systems. Advanced developments are supposed to improve people's quality of life, as well as solve economic and social problems in the regions and throughout the country. I am sure that here, at the forum, these and other proposals for the development of the digital field will be examined, and the ideas brought forward will find their practical application, the Prime Minister noted.
