Vladimir Putin: Dear friends, colleagues!
[...]
Ensuring the digital sovereignty of the Eurasec is also on the agenda. Let me remind you that Russia initiated the process of establishing the partnership of the "five" in the IT sphere back in 2017. It is important that the member states of the Union form a single digital ecosystem, which would imply the integration of national systems of electronic public services and electronic governments of each of the participants of the "five". I can assure you that Russia has advanced far enough here and has made very good groundwork.
...
Sadyr Nurgozhoyevich Zhaparov, President of Kyrgyzstan
..
The most important direction towards creating favorable conditions within the framework of ensuring the four freedoms in the Union is the sphere of migration. I believe that working citizens of our countries should have easier conditions for exercising their labor rights on the territory of any of the member States of the Union.

Modern technologies make it possible to significantly simplify the passage by our citizens of the required administrative procedures in the state of employment. It is necessary to provide an opportunity for citizens to perform the actions required for employment in another country in electronic format, including being in the country of their citizenship.

As a first step, it is proposed to work out the possibility of recognizing the results of a medical examination of a worker who has passed in the country of departure for staying in the Russian Federation by analogy with the application "Traveling without COVID-19". You can expand its functionality and use it for new needs. "

Tigran Sargsyan: Digital transformation plays a pivotal role in the emerging economic landscape

15 May 2023

Almaty, 15 May 2023. Digital infrastructure took centre stage at the investors forum held on 15–17 May 2023 in Almaty, alongside the 46th Annual Meetings of the Association of Development Financing Institutions in Asia and the Pacific (ADFIAP).

The session brought together international organisations from various regions, including Europe, Eurasia, Asia and the Pacific, to exchange experiences in implementing and using digital technology to streamline processes, uplift living standards, and foster development opportunities.

Tigran Sargsyan, Vice Chairman of the Eurasian Development Bank’s (EDB) Management Board, emphasised the pivotal role of digital transformation in the emerging economic landscape.

The EDB is observing a trend towards fragmentation of the global digital space, and Asia and the Pacific, particularly the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU), are no exception. In 2020, the EDB established a Fund for Digital Initiatives to foster digitalisation efforts.

“We are pleased that the COVID-19-Free Travel mobile app, the flagship project of our Fund, was honoured with the Sustainable Awards in Technology Development by ADFIAP last year. Thank you for this recognition,” said Tigran Sargsyan.

The COVID-19-Free Travel app helped to facilitate safe international travel during the pandemic, surpassing 5 million uses for PCR test result verification.

Furthermore, the Fund launched the Work in the EAEU app to streamline access to public and commercial services for EAEU citizens. Presently, the app offers over 30 services in Russia and Armenia, with ongoing negotiations to expand its reach to other countries."

Belarus' PM calls for unrestricted cross-border exchange of electronic documents in EAEU

MINSK, 10 June (BelTA) – The countries of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) need to ensure free and unrestricted cross-border exchange of electronic documents, Belarusian Prime Minister Roman Golovchenko said at a meeting of heads of government of the EAEU and CIS countries with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Sochi on 9 June, BelTA has learned.

Roman Golovchenko emphasized the importance of digital sovereignty and digital independence. “It is important to develop the EAEU digital agenda. This will not only ensure our common cybersecurity, but also help make the transition from barrier-free to ‘seamless' trade at a faster pace. All our projects are in one way or another related to the possibility of smooth movement of electronic documents. One of the most important aspects is mutual recognition of electronic digital signatures, without which it is impossible to create a digital ecosystem. The solution of this problem will enable us to organize the cross-border exchange of electronic documents and ensure the recognition of their legal validity. We have set a goal to complete such work this year within the Belarus-Russia Union State,” he said."

Golovchenko outlines key areas of focus for EAEU

The joint efforts of the EAEU countries allowed increasing the resilience of national economies, Belarus' Prime Minister Roman Golovchenko said at the plenary session of the Eurasian Congress'23 in Sochi, BelTA has learned.

Golovchenko outlines key areas of focus for EAEU

SOCHI, 9 June (BelTA) – The joint efforts of the EAEU countries allowed increasing the resilience of national economies, Belarus' Prime Minister Roman Golovchenko said at the plenary session of the Eurasian Congress'23 in Sochi, BelTA has learned.

Speaking about the interaction within the EAEU, Roman Golovchenko noted: “I think everyone will agree that our common decisions aimed at minimizing the impact of the sanctions and weathering the turbulent time for the global economy have helped all countries of the union to boost the resilience of their economies. Despite the sanctions and protectionism, the GDP of the EAEU inched down by only 1.6% in 2022, though experts predicted that it would drop twice as much. Prospects in industry and agriculture look pretty good. We have stepped up efforts to ensure technological sovereignty in the EAEU.”

According to the Belarusian head of government, a new reality has come into being.[...]
...
“We view digital development as one of the priorities of the EAEU. Today, the EAEU is implementing a number of landmark projects in ICT: accelerated rail and multimodal transportation, electronic passports, the ecosystem of digital transport corridors. Currently, almost all integration projects use ICT. Our task is not just to utilize them, but also to use digital transformation to generate new added value,” the head of government said."

PM emphasizes importance of technological independence, digital sovereignty amid external pressure

MINSK, 18 April (BelTA) - It is necessary to ensure technological independence and digital sovereignty under external pressure, Belarusian Prime Minister Roman Golovchenko said at the opening ceremony of the 29th edition of the international information and communications technology forum TIBO on 18 April, BelTA has learned.

“For almost 30 years, TIBO has been gathering people whose activities, and lives, are connected with the vast area of information and communication technologies, those who develop them, organize their practical implementation, or strive to use their possibilities efficiently. Thirty years ago the main areas of programmers' work were accounting and scientific calculations.
Today almost every sphere of life can be digitized, endowed with a consumer-friendly mobile application, and the development of artificial intelligence is fundamentally changing the labor market for programmers, lawyers, and teachers. We are witnessing not only the rapid progress and globalization of new information technologies, but also the involvement in digital development of areas of life that were previously far away from it. Now we are building a qualitatively new model of economy, society, and state functioning,” Roman Golovchenko said.

He stressed that the task of the TIBO 2023 forum was to provide a comprehensive vision of achievements and opportunities for maximum disclosure of the innovative potential of the IT sector in the interests of the society and the state, as well as of the partners, first of all, within the EAEU.

“We have already achieved significant results in the development of e-government: there is a unified portal of electronic services, unified systems of remote identification and the opportunity to use electronic digital signatures. Businesses can obtain licenses online. Technologies for unmanned transport are being developed and robotic systems are being introduced in production. The next stage should be the development of industry-specific digital platforms and changes in business processes on the scale of activities. In the area of public administration, it is the transition to the predominant provision of public services and administrative procedures online.
We also strive to maintain and develop a favorable ecosystem for the IT-industry, look for new markets and directions, attract investments and talented employees,” the prime minister said.

“Today, given the complex geopolitical agenda and increasing external pressure, it is necessary to ensure not only technological independence, but also digital sovereignty, relying on our partners, primarily the Russian Federation and other countries of the Eurasian Economic Union,” the Belarusian head of government said."

According to Igor Petrishenko, the Eurasian Digital Forum has become a good tradition of TIBO and an integral important part of its program. It brings together representatives of the professional communities of the EAEU member states and the entire region. “Digital economy is very important for promoting the single economic space of the EAEU and closer cooperation between its participants, which has been repeatedly noted by the heads of state of the EAEU member states," the deputy prime minister said.

It is no coincidence that Belarus is once again becoming a platform for developing common approaches to the digital agenda, he stressed.
"The head of state has identified digitalization as one of the present-day priorities for our country. The government is taking measures to digitally transform the public administration system and the economy, introduce domestic software products at enterprises and new mechanisms for financial support for digital development processes," Igor Petrishenko said.

To accelerate the processes of digitalization, Belarus has set up the center for digital development and the center for advanced studies in digital development.

Igor Petrishenko recalled that on 12 April of this year, the president signed a decree to create the conditions for the strategic development of the Hi-Tech Park."

Belarus' vice premier: EAEU needs to intensify digitalization processes

MINSK, 18 April - The Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) should intensify work on common digitalization processes, Belarusian Deputy Prime Minister Igor Petrishenko said as he opened the fifth edition of the Eurasian Digital Forum on the sidelines of the TIBO 2023 international forum, BelTA has learned.

According to Igor Petrishenko, in 2017 the Supreme Eurasian Economic Council approved the main directions of the development of the EAEU digital agenda through 2025. In 2023 the EAEU member states launched the third stage of the digital agenda - the implementation of the planned projects and digital cooperation at the global, regional, national and sectoral levels. “With the high rates of technological development in the IT sector, the EAEU digital agenda needs to be updated. First of all, it concerns the EAEU integrated information system, which ensures the joint operation of state information resources and systems of the EAEU states,” the deputy prime minister said.

Once updated, the system should ensure full implementation of the EAEU digital agenda, cross-border interaction and provision of interstate services in electronic form, and increase accessibility of its information resources for citizens and businesses, he stressed.

According to Igor Petrishenko, the EEC together with the member states should intensify the work on the implementation of common processes. “Some 24 out of 78 common processes have been implemented. That is obviously not enough in view of the tasks and opportunities. We should move in this direction synchronously all together,” he said."

What should a "smart" city be like?

In the National Strategy for Sustainable Development of Belarus until 2035, a lot of weight is given to the model of the economy of the future. Digitalization is defined as its cornerstone. It is planned that the new generation of information technologies will penetrate into all spheres of public life without exception.

One of their components – the concept of "Smart City" - is as convenient as possible for the life of its inhabitants. Information from hundreds of thousands of devices enters a single "electronic brain". As a result, every resident of the metropolis gets a lot of useful opportunities.
...
Oleg Sedelnik, CEO of Belarusian Cloud Technologies LLC, spoke about his readiness to present the project of the National Smart Platform to the general public. In fact, this is a technological solution that will allow you to collect data from all the necessary devices, store them in a secure environment. They will be processed and output analytics. Artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies will be used for this.

Global issues of the digital economy. What the experts discussed in the framework of TIBO-2023

At the V Eurasian Digital Forum, digital transformation in the EAEU space was considered. Chairman of the EEC Board Mikhail Myasnikovich became the guest of honor.

During his speech at the plenary session "Digital Eurasia, points of growth of electronic interaction and integration", the head of the commission noted that an important area of industry development is the formation of a digital framework to ensure the freedom of movement of goods, services, capital and labor. "Thanks to the involvement of governments, deputy prime ministers, members of the Council of the Eurasian Economic Commission, we have formed a joint regulatory framework. For us, 2023 will be of fundamental importance. The Commission and the Member States must solve an extremely serious task - to ensure the proper functioning of more than 50 business processes. In addition, by the end of 2023, the commission will prepare a technical possibility for information exchange between the countries of the Union on 70 of the 78 required common processes. In this context, the commission sets itself the most important task of providing full technical and organizational support for information exchange in the G2G format within the framework of various business processes," he said.

At the same time, the EEC ensures a step-by-step transition from an integrated information system to platform solutions, that is, to a more modern and effective model of interaction. "Our task is to provide regulatory and digital regulation of the principle of four freedoms and infrastructure. Thanks to this, the core of interstate information interaction will be formed. The most important priority for us as those responsible for the infrastructure is to ensure all types of interaction that are in demand," the chairman of the board explained.

The second major event of the TIBO-2023 business program is the III Digital Economy Forum, organized by the Ministry of Architecture and Construction, the Ministry of Housing and Communal Services and the State Property Committee. Representatives of the Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Culture, the Ministry of Architecture and Construction, and the State Property Committee spoke separately at the event.

Deputy Chairman of the State Property Committee Nikolay Bober on the first day of the forum at the round table "Spatial Data Infrastructure: National Spatial Data Infrastructure" spoke about the creation and functioning of the National Spatial Data Infrastructure. He noted that such discussion events provide an opportunity to develop effective development directions for the coming years.

Chairman of the State Committee for Science and Technology Sergey Shlychkov also spoke at the Digital Economy Forum. He introduced the visitors to the peculiarities of scientific and innovative support for the development of the digital economy in Belarus.

The head of the SCNT noted that the intensive digitalization of the country's economy is characterized by a number of indicators, including the connection of the population to the Internet, the formation of new markets for software products, etc., and the technologies of robotics, artificial intelligence, 3D modeling and printing can significantly reduce production costs as they are increasingly introduced. "To date, all public administration bodies of the Republic of Belarus are actively working towards the early establishment of the digital economy in our country. And GKNT is no exception. It is possible to distinguish two areas of the SCNT's activities in the field of digitalization: the introduction of information technologies into the activities of a public administration body and state regulation to create conditions conducive to the digitalization of the national economy," the head of the SCNT said.

The next important event of TIBO-2023 was the VI Belarusian ICT Summit. Representatives of various branches of the digital economy reviewed modern technological trends - 5G technology, the use of artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, security issues.


At the plenary session, the General Director of Beltelecom, Yuri Petruchenya, spoke about what solutions the company is improving and developing.

The company is actively working to create innovative solutions in new areas. "This transformation of the company is due to significant technological changes that have occurred in all spheres of life. At TIBO-2023, we will present elements of the digital ecosystem that will ensure comfort and safety, reduce costs, optimize processes and increase work efficiency, and in general - create a sustainable urban space and improve the quality of life. The operator's task is to create a digital space or ecosystem that will help our customers and partners to meet their maximum needs and solve maximum tasks," said Yuri Petruchenya.

What agencies and companies presented at the exhibition

The stands of Russia, communication enterprises and organizations, as well as Belarusian departments were presented at the TIBO-2023 forum. The highlight of the forum was the central exposition of the Ministry of Communications and Informatization and government agencies "Cities of the future - smart cities", which included the best achievements of the Belarusian economy in the field of digital development.

More than 40 locations were presented at the central stand. "They were conditionally divided into blocks. The exposition presents absolutely new services for citizens and businesses from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Federal Health Service, various electronic services for health protection and so on. At the stand, it was also possible to get information about digital doubles, ranging from cities to the sports industry. This technology is needed to virtually simulate a situation, look for the right management and transfer it to reality. All this was presented at our stand. The exposition was popular with our guests. Next year we will try to surprise even more," said Yulia Shapkina, head of the Department for Coordination of Industry Informatization Projects of the Ministry of Communications and Informatization.

According to her, for the first time this year, the Ministry of Economy, the Department of Security of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Chinese-Belarusian Park "Great Stone" presented their developments at the exhibition, as well as the Ministry of Taxes and Duties presented their services for the first time in a long time of absence.

The Ministry of Economy presented at the stand an interactive portal "Investor's Roadmap", the Department of Interior Ministry Security - samples of access control systems, as well as video surveillance and alarm systems. The Ministry of Internal Affairs presented the sensational application "Professional Income Tax". The Ministry of Labor and Social Protection presented the mobile application of the Federal Health Service, which started working on February 1, 2023. In addition, the National Center for Electronic Services, the Ministry of Sports and Tourism, the Chinese-Belarusian Great Stone Park and government agencies presented their developments at the central stand.

The educational industry was also represented on a large scale at the exhibition. More than 20 educational institutions from Belarus and Russia presented their developments and inventions on the "educational alley". According to the First Deputy head of the Presidential Administration Maxim Ryzhenkov, who drew attention to the extensive presence of universities during the visit to the exposition, this is very important. "Not just single models or technologies that children are engaged in are being worked out, but whole teaching methods are being created. Thanks to such approaches, creativity of thought and appropriate thinking are developed. The introduction of information technologies into the educational process allows children to feel like real researchers. For example, you can do robotics, print on a 3D printer, implement interesting ideas and develop developments," he added.

Residents of the Hi-Tech Park also presented their developments. Various digital platforms, a smart intercom, a cloud checkout, an online booking service for meeting rooms and workplaces, a hardware and software complex for processing, three-dimensional reconstruction, transmission and storage of medical diagnostic images, as well as other novelties were presented at the stand.

The stand of RUE "Belblankavyd Publishing House" also became bright. Automated robotic places simulating various business processes - production, logistics, inventory management and retail - were presented on the example of water bottles. A digital counterpart of the workflow was presented at each workplace and integration with information systems was carried out inside the complex. An interesting interactive feature was that every visitor of the exhibition could get a bottle of water for free when downloading the "Electronic Sign" application.
...
NAS presented more than 50 developments and technologies, including a neural network software package to support decision-making in the diagnosis of lung diseases based on X-ray and tomographic images, a prototype of an anthropomorphic robot assistant, an unmanned aircraft complex "Agrodron A60-X", a cardioregistrator and an electric car.

More than 260 exhibitors were represented at the TIBO-2023 exposition. Collective expositions were also presented by the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Energy, the Ministry of Digital Development of the Russian Federation, the People's Republic of China, Rosatom, enterprises of Moscow, St. Petersburg, Nizhny Novgorod Region, Kursk Region, Minsk City Technopark, the electronic trading platform of the Union State, NCM.
...
Record number of visitors
Last year, about 26 thousand people visited the TIBO Forum. And, despite the fact that statistics on all indicators of TIBO-2023 will be collected for about another month, almost 50 thousand people visited the exhibition in the first three days. According to the Minister of Communications and Informatization Konstantin Shulgan, such a large number of visitors indicates that Belarusians are actively interested in IT topics and the application of such projects in real life.

During the entire time of the forum, a record number of people visited the exhibition, and in order to approach some stands, it was necessary to stand in a queue of several dozen people. Among the visitors, one could meet large groups of schoolchildren, students, families with children, representatives of foreign delegations. All of them were united by one thing - a great interest in the Belarusian achievements of the IT industry."

(RU) ТИБО-2023. День 1. Хроника событий – Тибо. Международный форум и выставка

(RU) 18 апреля, вторник. Все события первого дня Форума ТИБО-2023

tibo.by

The XXIX International Forum on Information and Communication Technologies "TIBO-2023" has been launched in the congress hall of the Minsk Arena.

The ceremony was attended by Prime Minister of the Republic of Belarus Roman Golovchenko, State Secretary of the Security Council of the Republic of Belarus Alexander Volfovich, Deputy Head of the Presidential Administration Maxim Ermolovich, Chairman of the Board of the Eurasian Economic Commission Mikhail Myasnikovich, Deputy Secretary General of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization Grigory Logvinov, Minister of Communications and Informatization, Chairman of the Organizing Committee of the forum Konstantin Shulgan and other officials faces.

Deputy Head of the Presidential Administration Maxim Ermolovich read a greeting to the participants and guests of the forum on behalf of the President of the Republic of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko. The Head of State noted that the grandiose forum was created as an annual open platform for the exchange of experience and demonstration of achievements in telecommunications, banking, and information technologies. "THIBO's mission is simple and noble: to promote and introduce the best and most advanced in Belarus," the greeting reads.

The President drew attention to the fact that a powerful block of industry IT projects has been formed in the country, the purpose of which is full-scale informatization and digital transformation of all sectors of the economy, social sphere, public administration, as well as increasing export potential in this promising direction.

"I am convinced that an active professional dialogue and expert exchange of views will continue to contribute to the successful implementation of new projects and the expansion of cooperation between states and partners for the practical solution of the most difficult tasks," the Head of State stressed. The President wished the forum participants interesting meetings, profitable contracts and good luck on their chosen path.

Prime Minister of Belarus Roman Golovchenko noted that for almost 30 years THIBO has been gathering people whose activities and lives are connected with the field of ICT on his site. "Thirty years ago, the main areas of work of programmers were accounting services, scientific calculations.
Now any sphere can be digitized. The work and development of artificial intelligence is changing the labor market for programmers, economists, teachers," the Prime Minister said.

Roman Golovchenko drew attention to the fact that his speech at the forum could have been completely generated by a neural network – and the audience would not even notice it. According to him, such an experiment was conducted. Even compared to the last TIBO forum, global changes have taken place. "Artificial intelligence is a new brain in creativity, management and communication. Robots with artificial intelligence are new hands in production and everyday life. These processes cannot be dismissed: the contours of the new digital world are much closer than it seems," the Head of Government noted. He also stressed that the task of the TIBO-2023 forum is to provide a comprehensive vision of achievements and opportunities for maximizing the innovative potential of the IT sphere in the interests of our society and the state, as well as partners, primarily within the framework of the Eurasian Economic Union.

The Chairman of the Council of Ministers also noted that Belarus has significant results in the development of e-government: a single portal of electronic services operates, unified digital identification systems have been created. The register of business licenses has been transferred online. The next stage will be the creation of industry-specific digital platforms and business process changes. The priority in the field of public administration is the transition to the provision of public and administrative services online.

"In the context of a complex geopolitical agenda, increasing external pressure, it is necessary to ensure not only technological independence, but also digital sovereignty without fail. In this we rely on our partners, first of all – Russia and the EAEU, as well as on all partners who are ready to work with us in all areas. I am sure that all tasks will be fulfilled by joint efforts," Roman Golovchenko said.

Secretary General of the Security Council Alexander Volfovich drew attention to the fact that TIBO has become a unique platform for the exchange of experience, the development of discussion of mechanisms for the introduction of new technologies in all spheres of life. "Digitalization takes the economy to a qualitatively new level and becomes one of the conditions for success in a complex, competitive struggle in the world's leading markets. The influence of advanced technologies on the lives of citizens is increasing, especially in the construction of education, healthcare, and ensuring all areas of national security. The emphasis of the current exhibition on increasing the availability of smart city technologies is important," Alexander Volfovich said.

The Secretary of State of the Security Council stressed that the modern digital sector is experiencing serious sanctions pressure caused by the growing level of confrontation and rivalry between the leading world powers. This creates a number of challenges and threats for both the public sector and private companies. The risks of increasing critical dependence in the supply of hardware and software are growing. There are problems in maintaining the operability of information systems. Persistent attempts by individual states to use the Internet for purposeful destructive impact on the Belarusian society are recorded. Cybercriminals use the latest achievements in the field of digital technologies.
The development of a national cybersecurity system is more urgent than ever. "We need to accumulate the existing achievements, scientific potential in the interests of protecting the digital sovereignty of Belarus. This can be achieved only thanks to the well–coordinated joint work of the state and business at the national and international level," Alexander Volfovich said.

Minister of Communications and Informatization, Chairman of the organizing Committee of the forum Konstantin Shulgan in his speech noted the role of the Forum "THIBO" in the digitalization of the Republic of Belarus.

BUSINESS PROGRAM

V EURASIAN DIGITAL FORUM. Plenary session "Digital Eurasia, points of growth of electronic interaction and integration"

The business program of the XXIX International Forum on Information and Communication Technologies opened with the plenary session of the V Eurasian Digital Forum "Digital Eurasia: points of growth of electronic interaction and integration".

The meeting was opened by Deputy Prime Minister of the Republic of Belarus, member of the Council of the Eurasian Economic Commission Igor Petrishenko. According to him, holding the Eurasian Digital Forum has become a good tradition of THIBAULT. It is no coincidence that Belarus is once again becoming a platform for the development of a digital story.
Digitalization has been identified by the President of Belarus as a priority for the development of the state. There is a transformation of the system of public administration and the economy, the introduction of domestic products into production. Less than a week ago, the Head of State signed a decree creating conditions for the intensive development of HTP. The platform is being developed on the basis of Industry 4.0.

Belarus and Russia are developing approaches in the field of customs and tax legislation, transport control. Back in 2017, the main directions of the EAEU digital agenda until 2025 were approved. This year, the countries have started the third stage of its implementation, however, as Igor Petrishenko noted, in conditions of high rates of development, the agenda requires updating.
Among the necessary is the modernization of the Integrated Information System of the EAEU, as a result of which cross–border interaction will be ensured, increasing the availability of resources for citizens and businesses.

As the Deputy Prime Minister of Belarus noted, the unprecedented sanctions also affected the issues of digitalization, which, however, opens a window of opportunity for the formation of digital sovereignty.
Taking into account the geopolitical situation and the increase in the volume of information exchange, the issue of information protection and prevention of data leaks is of particular importance.

In the EAEU space, a significant issue is the creation of a cross-border trust space, the recognition of an electronic digital signature, and the development of an alternative to SWIFT within the Union Space. Igor Petrishenko stressed that the implementation of all these projects is impossible without training, which in turn requires the improvement of the education system.
Strengthening ties between the SCO, BRICS, and the EAEU will allow us to reach a new level of development.

Chairman of the Board of the Eurasian Economic Commission Mikhail Myasnikovich noted that the forum presented the latest achievements of the IT industry in the domestic market of the EAEU.
According to him, the Commission faces the task of forming a digital framework for the movement of goods, services, capital, and labor. A joint regulatory framework has been formed. "This year will be of fundamental importance, since it is necessary to ensure the proper functioning of business processes," Mikhail Myasnikovich said.

The task is to fully provide G2G, the transition of the integrated system to new levels. The most important priority is to ensure all types of interaction that are in demand. In the context of these tasks, together with the authorized bodies, it is necessary to ensure the development of a cross-border space of trust. The work will require the participation of all interested bodies, including State security agencies. "There is a groundwork," the speaker assured.

The Commission, together with the countries, is creating a joint network of protected data. The National Segment of Belarus and Kyrgyzstan will be launched within the framework of the forum. As Mikhail Myasnikovich explained, the Commission has purchased the necessary technical means, transfers them to the member states, adjusts the equipment and puts it into operation.

It is also necessary to solve problems in a short time: for example, different levels of digitization in countries.
"Desynchronization can lead to the emergence of new digital barriers," the head of the Commission noted.

The digital agenda of the union is to be reformatted. Ensuring the proper level of security, reducing dependence on foreign software. "Without this, we will not build digital sovereignty. At the same time, we adhere to the point of view that in modern conditions, complete isolationism will not work and does not make sense. For understanding, in 2022 and three months of 2023, more than 100 thousand hacker attacks were carried out on the EEC information system," Mikhail Myasnikovich stressed.

Deputy Secretary General of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) Grigory Logvinov noted that the SCO is a multilateral association. At the same time, the Deputy Secretary General of the organization acknowledged that the SCO space belongs to the number of regions with a high degree of cyber security and a low level of cyber security. "Cooperation in this area began 16 years ago, when a working group on modern ICT was established. Our tasks now are to increase global competitiveness, increase investment potential and security, and bridge the digital divide," Grigory Logvinov said.

Taking into account the situation in the pandemic, the SCO has formed a common understanding that in the post-pandemic the digital economy is becoming crucial. There are new challenges in different areas: the use of artificial intelligence technologies to improve digital literacy, the joint development of common principles of interaction.

Of particular concern is the role of digital technology as a tool for cyber warfare. More and more States are switching to improving ICT. The SCO has a broader understanding of international information security than the UN. Practical cooperation of the SCO states in this area is being worked out: joint exercises are being held to curb the use of the Internet for terrorist and extremist purposes.

Deputy Governor of the Nizhny Novgorod Region Yegor Polyakov stressed that the Nizhny Novgorod Region is a region with high scientific and educational potential. There are 5 Institutes of the Russian Academy of Sciences, more than 60 branch research institutes in the region. The Nizhny Novgorod world-class Research Center is one of the first in the country, where 37 participants and more than 70 partners work, more than 90 percent are implemented. The main activities of the center are innovative production, components and materials, advanced digital technologies, ecology and elimination of accumulated damage, intelligent transport systems. The region ranks third in Russia in terms of the volume of software produced, the level of development of the software development industry and the volume of exports of ICT services. A world-class intercollegiate IT campus is being built. The new academic buildings will accommodate more than 7 thousand students.

Ekaterina Solntseva, Director for Digital Transformation of Rosatom State Corporation, touched upon the issue of digital sovereignty, technological independence and industrial development in the Eurasian space based on the transfer of industrial digital technologies of Rosatom.

The topic of priority aspects of the digital integration of the Union State in the EAEU space was revealed in his speech by Vladimir Maslov, Director of the Digital Technologies Department of the Russian Chamber of Commerce and Industry. Deputy Minister of Transport of Russia Dmitry Bakanov in his speech touched upon the issue of digitalization of transportation within the EAEU. Viktor Gridnev, Director of the Directorate of Digital Initiatives of the Eurasian Development Bank (EDB), spoke about realizing the potential of the EAEU through digital projects. Andrey Filippov, Deputy Director for International Cooperation of ANO Digital Economy, concluded the session with a report on the mechanisms and practices of accelerated implementation of industrial software in the EAEU countries.

On the declaration of 2023 as the Year of Peace and Creation
Decree No. 1 of January 1 , 2023

In order to consolidate the Belarusian people, strengthen the ideas of peace and creative work in society as the main conditions for the development of the Belarusian state, the President of the Republic of Belarus declared 2023 the Year of Peace and Creation. The corresponding Decree No. 1 of January 1, 2023 was signed by the Head of State Alexander Lukashenko.

The key areas in the coming year will be improving the system of military-patriotic education of the population, promoting peaceful initiatives of citizens and the public, promoting interfaith dialogue that ensures peace and harmony in Belarusian society, demonstrating the advantages of the Belarusian economic model in conditions of global turbulence, positioning creative work as the main condition for the development of the Belarusian state.

Such topics will strengthen the perception of Belarus as an island of peace, the indisputable value of which for the population of the country is a weighty argument in reaching agreement on other important issues of public life. The Belarusian response to militarization in the European region will be the peaceful creative work of compatriots."

2023 the Year of Peace and Creation

This is quite different from the war and destruction of the Western globohomo-kaballo-satanists.

But what will "strengthen the ideas of peace and creative work in society", what will "promote peace initiatives of citizens and the public" which "ensures peace and harmony in Belarusian society, demonstrating the advantages of the Belarusian economic model in the conditions of global turmoil", what will "position creative work as a basic condition for development", what will "reach agreement on other important issues of public life"?

What??

"V EURASIAN DIGITAL FORUM. Thematic session "Digital transformation of the internal markets of the EAEU"

The session was opened by moderator, Deputy Chairman of JSC "Belarusian Universal Commodity Exchange" Alexey Matsevilo. The participants were faced with the issues of the "digital" aspects of the four freedoms of the EAEU, the elimination of the "digital divide" in the internal market of the EAEU, the prospects for the development of an integrated information system until 2030, and others.

Varos Simonyan, Member of the Board (Minister) On internal markets, informatization, ICT of the Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC) presented the report "The Internal market of the EEA: new development priorities taking into account digital solutions". In his speech, Varos Simonyan touched upon an important topic of trust: "In addition to purely economic components, it is necessary to form a space of trust: a state agency to a state agency, business to a state agency, business to an internal document and so on. We understand how it is necessary to move forward." At the end of his speech, Varos Simonyan noted that the work on infrastructure support will be a key element for digital transformation within the union.

Vladimir Basko, CEO of the Infopark Association, Chairman of the EAEU Business Council Committee on the Digital Agenda, spoke about "Business in the implementation of the digital agenda: consolidation of efforts, initiatives".
In his report, Vladimir Basko raised the issue of the importance of the digital catalog. "We are talking about four freedoms, but in reality the fifth is missing. We don't have freedom of movement of data and digital assets." The issue of digital inequality faced by representatives of Russia and Belarus was also raised.
The Director of the Association "Infopark" highlighted the lack of financing mechanisms as one of the problems of the topic.

The session was continued by Alesya Abramenko, Deputy Minister of Economy of the Republic of Belarus. In her report, she expressed the idea that the digital agenda could become a barrier that hinders mutual trade. "On the one hand, we try to get away from the routine of paper processes, we try to keep up with the times, but this is not always possible. When countries do not act in concert, a problematic situation may arise and lead to negative consequences in the economy." The issue of digital sovereignty and possible ways to overcome digital inequality was raised. One of the possible solutions is that all parties should be on an equal footing for the implementation of digital initiatives, the parties should be equal participants, not consumers of a particular system. Also, all digital processes should not burden participants.

Then Dmitry Markov, CEO of Vision Labs (Russia) joined the conversation in an online format. He made a report on the prospects of Eurasian biometrics, taking into account the experience of project implementation. Dmitry Markov spoke about the recently implemented digital identity card project. The project was implemented on the portal of public services of Russia, the system is working in test mode.
It was noted that a paper passport should remain in the past, it is necessary to introduce digital identity cards. Such certificates should be used in everyday life, when checking documents. The technology is well tested and used in many countries. The participants discussed how this system works and its advantages in the modern world.

Tamara Shashikhina, Director of the Eurasian Educational Institute of the MGIMO University of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation, made a presentation on "Information systems and Registries on Internal Market issues: Using international experience". In her speech, Tamara Shashikhina addressed the previous speakers, agreeing with the idea of creating a cross-border space of trust. "We need to work towards making the EAEU as an integration association more understandable for both ordinary citizens and small and medium-sized businesses, not only for large and for the state."
Among the positive examples, the unified online job search system "Without Borders" was mentioned. It is important that the information is concentrated in one place, otherwise it will complicate the process of obtaining it.

Natalia Tyshkevich, Deputy Director of RUE "National Center for Marketing and Price Conjuncture", took part in the discussion. She spoke about the problems in the field of digitalization of public procurement. From the analysis of the level of digitalization, it follows that the procurement system is the most digitized.
At this stage, barrier-free cooperation is accompanied by paper media, which hinders digitalization. The basis of the digital agenda is the issue of digital signature recognition.

Director of Financial System Development of the Central Bank of the Republic of Armenia Ashot Petrosyan touched upon the topic of integration of payment systems. "Today, the second meeting of the working group of the Council of Central Banks of the EAEU took place, the agenda for the digital transformation of the financial system was approved," Ashot Petrosyan said.

Dmitry Volvach, Deputy Minister of Economic Development of the Russian Federation, joined the discussion in the format of a video message. "Today we face the task of bringing the Eurasian Economic Integration to a new level, increasing its sustainability and deepening cooperation in response to external challenges," Dmitry Volvach said. He shared the results achieved in the field of digital aspects of the 4 freedoms of the EAEU.
It was also noted that the President of the Russian Federation has put forward a number of initiatives to develop the digital agenda within the Union.

III FORUM "DIGITAL ECONOMY". Round table "Spatial Data Infrastructure: National Spatial Data Infrastructure"

The meeting was moderated by Vitaly Olekhnovich, Head of the Geodesy and Cartography Department of the State Property Committee of the Republic of Belarus and Marina Litreeva, Head of the Geoinformation Systems Department of the Scientific and Production State Republican Unitary Enterprise "National Cadastral Agency".

Nikolay Bober, Deputy Chairman of the State Property Committee, said in his welcoming speech: "The event is dedicated to the creation and development of the national spatial data infrastructure. To date, subordinate enterprises already have many information systems and resources that make it possible to effectively manage spatial data in the following areas: land cadastre, real estate cadastre, real estate registration, creation of digital topographic maps and land cadastre systems. This is what makes it necessary to create a system in the Republic that would unite and give access to such resources to all consumers."

Tatiana Tabolich, Director of the State Water Transport Administration, in her report told about what has already been done and how it has a positive impact on the overall water transport infrastructure. Sergey Shavrov, associate professor of the Belarusian State Technological University, paid more attention to problematic issues in his report on the interoperability of spatial data. As Sergey Shavrov noted: "Specialists have gathered here to solve specific problems. The impulse of action arose because people became more interested in topical issues."

At the end of the event, a discussion was held on the issues raised in the reports.

The solutions presented by the Health Committee of the Minsk City Executive Committee are of great interest to visitors: electronic registry, Internet registry, electronic medical card and the "Mobile Doctor" system. The stand noted: some solutions have already been implemented and greatly facilitate the interaction of citizens with healthcare institutions.

CJSC "Banking and Financial Teleset" tells about its comprehensive service "Automation of entering personal data into the information system" without the need to purchase equipment. The main advantages of implementing this service for healthcare organizations are automation of patient data entry from documents (the human factor is excluded), document authentication, identification of foreign citizens by documents, automation of registration of new patients and patients of paid services by documents, search and sorting of data in the system, etc. The basis of the technical solution for the implementation of the service, as told at the stand, is the AIS "Polyclinic", developed by the Republican Scientific and Practical Center for Medical Technologies, Informatization, Management and Economics of Healthcare (RNPC MT).

In addition, at the Smart City stand, you can get acquainted with the latest developments related to sports, tourism, education, etc.

Yuri Petruchenia, General Director of RUE Beltelecom, noted that everything presented at the stand can be tried in real life.
"Today, along with the mass market of our services, we are actively engaged in the project of building a digital ecosystem. The "Smart city" is most vividly represented here – "smart stop", security, applications "My City", "My University", cybersecurity. In 2022, we became an operator for the construction of a network of electric filling stations. These projects have been implemented, are being scaled – and for sure we will have new services and new offers at the next exhibition," the CEO noted.
According to him, if the company presented about 70 services at TIBO-2022, then this year there are already about 80 of them. "And our motto this year is "Beltelecom" – not only communication," Yuri Petruchenya stressed.

In addition, Beltelecom, as the largest telecommunications operator, works with cybersecurity issues.
"Today, after the issuance of the relevant Presidential Decree, this issue becomes even more relevant. Therefore, we not only solve cybersecurity issues, but also build an organizational system to provide appropriate services and protect information systems. We demonstrate the order, the model that we are developing today and actually implemented already at the enterprise, but precisely from the point of view of providing a service to our potential customers," said the CEO of RUE Beltelecom.

The company presents the application "My University" – a digital navigator that successfully works at the Minsk State Linguistic University. "This application is useful not only for students and teachers, but also for applicants. During the work of the admissions committee, a tab will be provided on the main page where it will be possible to track how many applications have been submitted," said Natalia Paduto, a representative of the company. You can find out the events of the university, it is possible to log in to the remote knowledge control system. "You can conduct surveys, leave a suggestion. Well, since we are still testing this application, we give everyone the opportunity to express their wishes, what to improve, because it is important to us. There is information about the schedule here and if a student has registered, he will receive notifications about changes. You can enroll in the dean's office, request a certificate of training – everything can be done online," the stand drew attention.

Another project of the company is "Smart Stop" – an innovative solution for the urban environment.

"We are proposing a project for the city on "Smart stops". Beltelecom makes a turnkey stop itself, where there are several screens – for commercials and information. The second one has the "My City" application installed, where tourists, for example, can sign up for excursions. There is a map of the city to plot the route. We do this at our own expense and transfer it to the balance of the city," said Viktor Kanyushik, head of the group for working with key clients. WiFi will work at the "Smart stops", there will be a video surveillance camera, you can charge your gadget for free. At the same time, Beltelecom will earn on video monitoring services and advertising – the city gets itself such a wonderful stop. This is a pilot project, such a stop has already been installed in Mogilev. Beltelecom has recently demonstrated a lot of solutions that it can offer to cities," Viktor Kanyushik summed up.

Anton Alekseev, Director of JSC "Giprosvyaz", in his welcoming speech focused on the fact that Belarus is currently approaching the creation of a full-fledged information and communication infrastructure combining "Smart Cities" and "Electronic state". Anton Alekseev noted that our country should focus on the most advanced international solutions, which will certainly contribute to today's forum

Deputy Head of the Department for the Implementation of State ICT Projects and Procurement of the Ministry of Communications and Informatization Elena Shorr presented the report "Smart Cities of Belarus. Project implementation strategy. Synergy of results". The speaker spoke about the plans of research and development work "Creation of the first stage of a typical regional state digital platform "Smart City (region)" in 2023-2024. The means of providing the first stage of the Smart City platform in Minsk and Orsha district will be developed and tested, including the basic components of the platform core, basic system-wide applications and services, application applications and services. It is planned to develop a technical specification for the second stage of the Smart City platform. The first stage of the platform will be integrated with state information systems and resources, a unified identification system for individuals and legal entities. There will be implementation, debugging, pilot operation and acceptance tests of the first stage of the Smart City platform (in Minsk, regional centers, cities and districts with a population of 80 thousand people or more). A system of information protection of the Smart City platform will be created.

As for the implementation of the Smart City (Region) digital platform, in 2022-2024, the development of the first stage of the platform and its testing will be completed in Minsk and Orsha district. Further, in 2023-2025, the development and testing of the I-III stages of the platform, debugging and trial operation, commissioning, integration into the digital ecosystem of smart cities will take place in Minsk, regional and 11 district centers. In 2025, the system will cover 17 cities (districts) with a population of over 80 thousand people.

Deputy Governor of the Nizhny Novgorod Region Yegor Polyakov shared some of the Smart City projects implemented in the region. Thus, an automated information system for parking space maintenance has been introduced. 114 parking zones for 6581 places, 111 open parking zones for 6424 parking spaces, 3 closed parking lots were put into operation. Mobile complexes of photo and video fixation of the rules of stopping/parking have been introduced. Thus, the movement of vehicles is streamlined, the congestion of the road network is reduced, and the speed of traffic flow is increased. The number of passengers of urban public transport has increased, the number of violations of the rules of stopping vehicles has decreased.

The Smart Light project has been implemented, within the framework of which the lighting equipment of urban outdoor lighting systems has been replaced with energy-efficient LED lamps. Automated control systems for outdoor lighting and collection of energy consumption indicators have been implemented. Thus, the reliability of equipment and load reduction has been increased, the role of the human factor has been reduced, the procedure for collecting readings has been simplified, and energy efficiency has been increased.

Since May 2018, the project "Smart stops" has been implemented in Nizhny Novgorod and since 2020 in Dzerzhinsk, which allow you to control the movement of public transport, find out the schedule using an online scoreboard. The pavilion's security is ensured by video cameras installed around its perimeter, as well as vandal-proof sensors.

Dmitry Razumovsky, Deputy Governor of the Kaluga Region, spoke about the implementation of the Smart City project in the region. The project is aimed at forming an effective urban management system, creating safe and comfortable living conditions for citizens and increasing the competitiveness of Russian cities and works in five areas: urban environment, safe city, digital public administration, people's well-being, investment climate. A geoinformation portal was created, within which 50 thematic geoservices operate, and a database of regional data is being formed. The population is involved in updating regional data. The effect of the implementation is to ensure the openness of data, increase the attractiveness of the region, the use of regional data in federal projects. Data with a cartographic description is used for making managerial decisions. A regional navigation and information system integrated with Era-Glonass GIS has been developed, to which data from 1,667 vehicles is transmitted. Thanks to it, modern transport monitoring services (Yandex. Maps). Information about the movement of passenger transport is displayed at bus stops. Drivers ensure compliance with the speed limit.

Anton Zubkov, Deputy General Director for Strategy of Rusatom Infrastructure Solutions JSC, Executive Director of the Association of Digital Development Organizations of the Digital Energy industry, stressed the key role of Rosatom as a participant in digitalization projects. The state Corporation understands the needs of cities and its residents based on the experience of the development of "nuclear" cities, declares a qualitative change in infrastructure with the use of digital technologies. A substantial scientific and production base has been developed, proven products and developments are being introduced, as well as solutions that meet modern cybersecurity requirements. A team of highly qualified developers is working on the projects, which manages and controls the production of digital products. Rusatom Infrastructure Solutions JSC is an industry integrator of Rosatom State Corporation in the Smart City and Clean Water directions, an industry competence center in the Energy Efficiency direction, a provider of solutions for the development of urban areas and agglomerations, a developer of unified services that organize comfortable interaction between municipal management, the population and business.

III Forum "Digital Economy". Plenary session "Digital Economy of the Republic of Belarus: state and prospects of development"

The central event of the III Forum was the plenary session "Digital Economy of the Republic of Belarus: state and prospects of development". The moderators were Deputy Minister of Communications and Informatization Anna Ryabova and Executive Director of the NGO "Information Society" Sergey Enin.

The meeting was opened by Anna Ryabova. She noted that at the plenary session I would like to look at the state of the industry in the context of prospects. "Someone will want to listen to us as a regulator, and we would like to outline the legal conditions in which we plan to develop," the deputy minister said.

Alexandra Solovyova, Permanent Representative of the United Nations Development Program in the Republic of Belarus, stressed that the world economy is undergoing a rapid digital transformation. At the same time, there is an increase in digital inequality: in developing countries, only 21% of women and 32% of men use the Internet. In addition, the world is facing the problem of disinformation, data security. Strengthening digital potential is one of the strategic priorities of the Sustainable Development Strategy of Belarus. A national action plan for the development of the green economy has been developed with the support of the United Nations. Significant potential for digital development has been accumulated. At the same time, the speaker stressed the need to attract new sources of financing for digital development projects, there is a significant gap in the digital development of the city and rural environment. Solutions developed by UNDP, UNICEF, ITU and other organizations are presented at the joint stand of UN agencies. The projects relate to different areas.

Chairman of the State Committee for Science and Technology Sergey Shlychkov spoke about scientific and innovative support for the development of the digital economy.
According to him, modern philosophers believe that technologies from the first to the sixth technological order are mastered, but humanity has come close to technologies of the seventh way – the so-called cognitive ones, which are based on scientists' attempts to create "nature-like" technologies. "Genomic technologies, research is certainly related to ICT, since the genome can be studied only with the help of information technology. All state bodies are currently working to establish the digital economy in Belarus as soon as possible," the head of the SCNT noted.
According to him, in this area, the committee works in two areas: the introduction of information technology in the work of government agencies and state regulation, contributing to the digitalization of the economy. The speaker cited a number of technological examples introduced into production at Belarusian enterprises. He also noted the role of technoparks operating in our country, whose residents enjoy significant benefits from the state.

Sergey Plugotarenko, CEO of ANO Digital Economy, shared the experience of the ANO Digital Economy platform in the context of the situation in 2023, outlined the trends in the development of international cooperation in the field of digital economy. Thus, mechanisms are being created to coordinate stakeholders in the field of popularization and promotion of advanced software in the EAEU countries, BRICS and other international markets. Educational and acceleration programs aimed at accelerated promotion and implementation of software in key sectors of the economy are being created. Interested parties (both government agencies and business) participate in international forums and conferences to exchange experiences and establish contacts. The international software markets are analyzed and potential sectors and winning countries are identified. Target markets are evaluated and potential customers and partners, specific requirements, standards and legislation of each target market are determined. Digital services are being introduced and actions are being coordinated with other Russian development institutions in the field of international cooperation in the digital economy.

ITU Regional Director for the CIS Region Natalia Mochu presented the review "Digital Economy: Growth Factors".
According to her, the COVID-19 pandemic has dramatically accelerated the transition to the digital economy, which lasted for decades. Internet traffic increased by 60%, and the number of Internet users increased by 10.2%. The number of digitized products/services has increased by 20%.

The speaker stressed that the lack of digital literacy skills is the main barrier to digital transformation. Overcoming digital illiteracy is crucial to narrowing the gap in this area. Data on digital skills is subjective. The collected statistical data, with their deeper analysis, make it possible to form a clear idea of the existing gaps and develop programs to overcome them. Skills among government employees and entrepreneurs are crucial to successful transformation. Problems can be solved by strengthening the digital potential of citizens, increasing the digital literacy of civil servants, expanding the opportunities of young entrepreneurs, small and medium-sized enterprises.

Director of JSC Giprosvyaz Anton Alekseev spoke about the concept of National sovereignty of the Republic of Belarus in the field of digital development. Digital sovereignty is an extremely multifaceted concept. There is not a single country that could achieve digital sovereignty. We can understand this as "digital stability". Until recently, the state of affairs was characterized by the lack of full-fledged domestic software analogues, the complexity of compatibility of foreign equipment and software used with possible analogues, the lack of own modern production of the element base, shortcomings in the educational process, the absence of a number of necessary software components on the national market and the market of partner countries, etc.

The main approaches currently are the preservation of digital stability by the Republic of Belarus, the formation of an environment that ensures the rapid development of the digital economy and e–government. Digital stability refers to the ability of the state to maintain the stability of the functioning of the main sectors of the economy under the influence of internal and external factors of various nature.

In her speech, the Head of the Main Department of the Payment System and Digital Technologies of the National Bank Tatyana Ruskevich focused on the state of the payment market of the Republic of Belarus.

The participants also discussed international experience in open source software development, intellectual property as an effective tool for economic development, regulatory and technological support for digital development, successful experience in digitalization of service enterprises.

Section "Features of building and developing smart sustainable cities: Success stories"

Director for Work with Regions of JSC "Digital Platforms and Smart City Solutions" JSC "RIR" (Rosatom State Corporation) Sergey Kuchin spoke about the integrated approach to the implementation of the Smart City project in Russia. The company implements projects in more than 100 cities of Russia. Local-level projects are being implemented in 12 regions. Advantages – a modern team of developers, proven solutions that meet the requirements of modern IT security and resistance to cyber threats, the system architecture of platform solutions and the ability to integrate them with existing information systems, as well as training teams and the customer, project support and technical support.

The Smart City digital platform is a unified information system that combines third–party systems, various functional modules and user groups in the following areas: security, resource and service management, citizen engagement, management and human capital development. The platform allows you to effectively manage the urban infrastructure and provides new opportunities to the administration, business and residents of the city or region with the help of platform solutions. The functional composition of the Smart City digital platform includes business and services, public safety, socio-cultural sphere, urban infrastructure and housing, urban territories and transport, city administration. The creation and development of the infrastructure for managing territories and facilities includes the integration of management of disparate objects and services by implementing a single platform that combines various systems; monitoring remote objects, systems and devices in real time; collection and analysis of any volume data in the cloud; remote configuration of processes; provision of remote access and the ability to scale the system.

Irina Gerasimenko, Director for International Development of CSR "Antison", drew attention to the named system of "smart city" technologies in the field of transport security. Antison is a system for monitoring the functional state of the driver. A software and hardware complex based on computer vision and artificial intelligence to ensure transport safety, preserve people's lives and company assets. "Why is monitoring the driver's condition important? 94% of accidents are caused by a person, 7 out of 10 incidents occur due to loss of attention or fatigue of the driver, the risk of an accident is 4 times higher when talking on the phone or smoking. The economic damage amounts to about 3-5% of GDP per year, that is 3.2 trillion rubles," the speaker noted. The Antison system analyzes video using a neural network. If a deviant behavior or condition is detected, the driver receives a signal. The notification is sent to the Situational Monitoring Center. The dispatcher validates and records the incident, then the manager receives a report.

Evgeny Novikov, Head of the Department of Scientific and Analytical Activities of Southwestern State University, presented an automated control system for outdoor lighting. The system is already successfully operating on the territory of the Kursk region and is gradually moving beyond the region. The complex operates via the GSM communication channel, and in the absence of a network signal – according to the latest implemented algorithm. The capabilities of the system involve daily and weekly schedule management (with subsequent prolongation), control of the level of illumination, execution of dispatcher commands, sensor polling, meter polling, offline operation, monitoring of network parameters (voltage, current, power). Thus, a reduction in operating costs is achieved by optimizing the OTM, increasing the service life of lamps and the electrical network, reducing the cleanliness of repair work, reducing electricity charges, increasing the level of control and reliability of lighting networks.

The Director of the MFC of the Republic of Bashkortostan shared her experience of implementing information technologies in the work of the centers of public services "My Documents". The MFC of Bashkortostan occupies the 5th place in the ranking of regions in terms of the number of offices and windows. Over 12 years of work, more than 45 million requests have been processed. The result of the implementation is a reduction in the terms of services and courier costs, an increase in the efficiency of operating rooms. The functional capabilities of the system are the intuitive interface of the software package, the setup of the service delivery process, the automation of the process, the smart consulting model for the contact center, integration with services and with the electronic queue.

VI BELARUSIAN ICT SUMMIT. Thematic session "Internet of Things technologies. Artificial Intelligence"

On the sidelines of the VI Belarusian ICT Summit within the framework of the XXIX International Forum on Information and Communication Technologies "TIBO-2023", a thematic session "Internet of Things Technologies. Artificial intelligence".

The moderator was Alexander Poznyak, Deputy Head of the Development and Strategic Planning Department of RUE Beltelecom, who opened the session with a report "Artificial Intelligence in video surveillance systems". The company started implementing the Smart Home service back in 2015, after which the company began to develop a Smart Home with a video Camera in 2016, and Video Control in 2018. The service is aimed at two segments of subscribers: residents of apartment buildings with access to video information and enterprises for the organization of an individual video surveillance network. More than 120 thousand cameras are connected. Video analytics allows using artificial intelligence to recognize faces and car numbers, count visitors, detect smoke and fire, etc.

Sergey Zudin, Executive Director of Import Substitution at SberBank PJSC (Russia), spoke about artificial intelligence-based solutions for digitalizing industries and strengthening technological sovereignty. The line of SberDevices offers users services for conducting secure video conferences for business and the public sector (SberJazz), speech recognition, synthesis and analytics (Salutespeech), analysis of employee communication with customers (Smart Badge), automation of processing customer requests (SaluteBot). The company offers the Visper neural network for creating videos with characters and a comprehensive solution "Salyut Screens" for media content management. The ecosystem of devices from Sbera includes the SberBox set-top box, which has become the best-selling set-top box in Russia, and SberBox Time, SberBox Top VCS equipment, smart badge with SmartBadge speech analytics, Salute TV TVs with voice assistants and the first in Russia smart display – the stationary assistant SberBortal.

Vice President for Digitalization and Information Technologies of TVEL JSC (Rosatom State Corporation) Evgeny Garanin drew attention to the technological component of the production platform of the Rosatom Fuel Company AtomMind. In general, artificial intelligence at Rosatom is used in many areas: auto routing of User Support Center requests, video analysis of product quality, predictive analytics of the state of the production line, monitoring of equipment condition, video analysis of wearing PPE, zonal control, accounting, permits and permits, intelligent analysis of project documentation and video analysis of compliance with safety regulations, as well as the already named AtomMind predictive analytics platform. The platform was launched in 2022 and allows monitoring, diagnostics and forecast of technical condition, product quality management. Savings on capital costs are 5-10%, savings on maintenance – 5-10%, increase in equipment productivity - 3-5%. Thus, this leads to an increase in product quality. At the moment, 1 plant of the fuel division uses the platform, in 2024 12 plants will use the system, which underlines the potential for replication of the platform in the industry.

Now the platform is implemented at the Chepetsky Mechanical Plant. The problem of the enterprise was the discrepancy of a part of the shell pipes with the specified parameters when passing technical control (in some batches – more than 10%). In 2020-2022, a case was implemented, the hypothesis of which was to predict the technological parameters of the production process to reduce defects. According to the results, the marriage was reduced by 2 times. The production effect is up to a 2–fold reduction in the level of defective products by 2024. The economic effect is 115 million rubles. The next case, planned for implementation at the same enterprise, is due to the waste of resources on scheduled maintenance of serviceable equipment, purchase and storage of excess spare parts.

The session also discussed issues of reducing energy costs for industrial enterprises using the Internet of Things, modern computer support for the diagnosis of diseases based on artificial intelligence, as well as technologies for recognizing animal voice signals in Belarus.

The thematic session ended with a discussion.

The educational track of the Digital Technology Festival: open "Digital Lessons", interactive sessions, presentation of industry practices

The Digital Technology Festival is being held for the first time as part of the TIBO Forum. The National Children's Technopark presented its playgrounds, which attracted a large number of participants. At one of the sites, the Robot Tournament "TIBO-2023" was held. Another platform became an educational one, where a "Lesson in numbers" was held. The children got acquainted with the best world practices of the educational process, and online schools from all over Belarus could also connect as part of the lesson.

Alexander Ignatchik, Deputy Director of the National Children's Technopark, told about the purpose of the digital technology festival:

– I think that any opportunities where the guys could get acquainted with modern enterprises, with future professions are very interesting. School students should understand their perspective in general, and this can be done through familiarity with modern organizations, this is an opportunity to touch modern educational practices.

Within the framework of the educational platform, practices for managers and specialists in the field of "Additional education in digital technologies: preschool education and primary school", "Creation of multidisciplinary education in primary school through the introduction of digital technologies into the basic educational program" and "Additional education in digital technologies: middle and high school" were presented.

– Numeracy lessons are held regularly, they are conducted not only by Yandex, for example VK, BEAC and other partners. We conduct 2 lessons a year, open lessons are held in some schools, we try to travel to different cities and regions. It is always very interesting for me to communicate with schoolchildren, students, teachers. This is a great opportunity not to break away from our target audience. I was very pleased to see the burning eyes of the children who asked questions. And the questions were not prepared, they asked questions with a trick, some were difficult, I could not answer all of them. The conditions of the Forum are impressive, really only positive impressions of the organization.

The collective stand of St. Petersburg presented solutions of such companies as "MGBot", "ROBBO", "ROBOTREK" and the Export Support Center.

Ekaterina Petrovskaya, the project manager for the gamification of the learning process, told about what the Export Support Center is presenting at the exhibition. She said: "We present our educational platform with the ability to gamify the learning process. That is, we are creating a game that the student will be interested in, which contributes to better assimilation of the material. Even an adult, for example, an employee of a company, may not waste time on a long study of the material, since he has the opportunity to do it in a couple of minutes. We use a microlerning system-lessons that last about 5-6 minutes, and, most often, are presented in the format of cartoons. Since society is now progressing very much and actively moving forward, the education system should not stand still. It becomes quite difficult for a modern person to study the material from hour-long lectures."

Ekaterina Petrovskaya also noted that their system has a special currency that can be accumulated and used to build their city of the future in the game. Anyone can study in this way, for this you just need to register on the center's website and pay for the course.

The action plan includes system-forming and infrastructural measures, pilot and experimental projects, regulatory and scientific support, organizational, educational and popularization activities.

The activities of the Plan are coordinated with the activities of the State Program for customers (performers), deadlines, sources of financing.

The project provides for:

unification of a set of "smart cities" within the framework of a single digital ecosystem "digital state";

integration of existing and prospective "smart" solutions (state, industry, public, private and others) within the boundaries of an administrative-territorial unit;

providing services and services of a digital platform for solving a wide range of tasks to ensure a comfortable living environment and activities.

The start of the practical implementation of the Smart Cities of Belarus project in the republic was given by the approval of the State Program in 2021.

Within the framework of the project, work is underway to create infrastructure and technical conditions for the introduction of modern urban management systems (housing and communal services, accounting and disposal of property, construction and territorial planning, management of urban and transport infrastructure, healthcare, education, public safety, environmental monitoring, etc.), expanding the range of electronic and information services for citizens, development of feedback services with the population.

For reference:

In fact, the Ministry of Communications and Informatization, as the regulator of the unified state policy in the field of communications and informatization, has initiated and is carrying out planned work on integrated system digital transformation of regions with the support of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus and with the participation of local authorities since 2019.

In 2019, the Ministry of Communications developed a model Concept for the development of "smart cities" in the Republic of Belarus, which is the basis for the formation of plans for the implementation of the "Smart Cities of Belarus" project, its scaling at the regional level.

Sufficient infrastructure and information "reserves" have been created in the republic - the basic conditions for the development of smart cities technologies, clear plans for further movement have been formed, priorities and prospects have been determined.

The basis for the practical implementation of the Smart Cities of Belarus project is the developed national information and communication infrastructure, which creates many new opportunities for comprehensive and sustainable development, including bridging the digital divide between the city and the region. A developed and world-standard data transmission network, reliable data storage and processing centers, identification mechanisms, tools for making electronic payments, modern electronic services and information security tools have been created.

Also, over the past few years, a sufficient theoretical basis has already been formed in the direction of the development of "smart cities" technologies.

Within the framework of event 68 of the State Program, the implementation of the system-forming event of the Plan "Implementation of the integrated project "Smart Cities of Belarus" is envisaged. Creation of a typical regional state digital platform "Smart City (region)" (the event's customers are the Ministry of Communications, the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus, the Minsk City Executive Committee, regional executive committees of the Republic of Belarus).

This event - the "core" of the project - is intended for the system integration of solutions in the field of digital transformation of regional governance processes, solving problems of socio-economic and social development, organizing information interaction, including building feedback with citizens.

The Ministry of Communications has developed and duly passed the state scientific and technical expertise of the technical task for event 68 (received a positive conclusion of the state scientific and technical expertise (HPP No. 6) dated December 30, 2021).

The terms of Reference provide for the sequential execution of each subsequent stage based on the results of the previous one.

According to stage 1, according to the results of an open competition held in 2022, Epol Soft LLC (Brest) carried out a research work "Development and justification of requirements for the creation of the first stage of a typical regional state digital platform "Smart City (region)". As part of the work to create a standard regional state digital platform "Smart City (region)" in accordance with the terms of reference, the development was carried out:

concepts of creating a digital platform;

private technical tasks for the implementation of applications and services of the first stage of the Smart City platform;

a private technical specification for the creation of an information security system of the Smart City platform.

The results of the work were adopted on December 1, 2022 in accordance with the established procedure by the commission established by Order No. 83 dated April 13, 2022 “On the establishment of the Commission” with the participation of representatives of the event's customers 68 (Ministry of Communications, National Academy of Sciences of Belarus, regional executive committees, Minsk City Executive Committee).

In accordance with the terms of reference, stage 2 is currently being implemented – the selection of a contractor in accordance with the established procedure to perform research and development work "Creation of the first stage of the standard regional state digital platform "Smart City (region)". On March 28, 2023, the Ministry of Communications announced a two-stage tender for the purchase of this R&D.

The tender documents are posted on the electronic trading platform http://www.goszakupki.by (public procurement procedure number auc0001151294).

By 2025 it is planned to:

creation of a regional state standard digital platform "Smart City (region)",

creation and (or) improvement of geoinformation systems,

development of regional information and communication infrastructure for data exchange between digital devices in order to ensure the operability of digital platforms and their services,

Андрей Белоусов анонсировал обсуждение сценариев развития России до 2040 года на ПМЭФ

Первый вице-премьер Андрей Белоусов назвал связанные с проектом «Горизонт 2040» мероприятия одними из ключевых на Петербургском международном экономическом форуме (ПМЭФ-2023). Об этом он заявил в интервью телеканалу РБК.

Andrey Belousov announced the discussion of scenarios for the development of Russia until 2040 at the SPIEF

June 13, 2023
First Deputy Prime Minister Andrei Belousov called the events related to the Horizon 2040 project one of the key events at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF-2023). He stated this in an interview with the RBC TV channel.

"If we talk about key meetings, sessions, discussions, I would put in the first place an event that will take place on two days - June 14 and 15 – and has been developed for almost a year, called Horizon 2040. This is an attempt to comprehend the subjectivity of Russia. Russia declares itself as an active player in the world, on world platforms. The question arises: what is Russia, what is its subjectivity? The answer to this question is very important, it is the basis of what exists in all countries that have subjectivity and sovereignty – it is a strategic dialogue within society and between the state and society to develop basic concepts and ideologies. Unfortunately, we have hardly had this before, because this is a very difficult topic," Andrei Belousov said.

When asked whether the society will know how to live until 2040 after the discussion at the forum, Andrei Belousov answered in the negative. "There will be no answers there [at the events on the Horizon 2040 project at the SPIEF], there will be more questions raised there," the First Deputy Prime Minister said. According to him, a number of global processes are taking place in the world now, new trends are being formed related to the climate and food agenda, energy transition, demography, pandemic waves, and they need to be understood.

"We see a colossal technological challenge. Some experts say that already in the 2030s we will get the so-called technological singularity [the hypothesis that in the future technological development will become uncontrollable and irreversible, which will seriously change human civilization].
Plus, the processes that are taking place in the global economy, in the relations between China and the United States. The situation related to the European Union. The entry into the world arena of new supereconomics – such as India, Indonesia, Brazil and a number of others. Russia's strategic self-determination is impossible without this context, but this context must be comprehended and realized. The subject of awareness of Russia as a subjectivity is the subject of Horizon 2040," Andrei Belousov said.

"[Among the directions with which Russia can reach the world] is tradition and conservatism, but that's not all. It should be a modernized conservatism.
Russia can become the guardian of the traditional values of the West, while the West has said goodbye to these traditional values and moved on to something else, which is actually an anti-tradition within the framework of postmodernism. In the West, there are elites and large social strata that are associated with traditional values. Here it may turn out that Russia is a saving straw for them, which gives them the opportunity to save something else," Andrei Belousov stressed, answering the question whether Horizon 2040 is an attempt to create meanings with which our country will enter the world arena.

During the session "Horizon 2040. Expert Marathon", which will take place on June 14 from 10:00 to 19:40 in the conference hall H22 of the Expoforum Exhibition Center (2nd floor), the leaders of the Horizon 2040 project working groups will present reports with key conclusions on ten project areas and discuss them with experts.

The panel session "Horizon 2040: Russia on the World Map 2040" will be held on June 15 from 09:00 to 12:15 in the conference hall D3 of the Expoforum Exhibition Center (Congress Center, 1st floor). The participants of the event will discuss which scenarios of Russia's subjectivity can be implemented before 2040; how and with whom Russia will be able to build its living space; how to prevent the disintegration of Russia and create its own macro-region. The session will be attended by Andrey Belousov, head of ASI Svetlana Chupsheva, leader of the International Eurasian Movement Alexander Dugin, President of the Association for the Export of Technological Sovereignty Andrey Bezrukov, Director of the Institute for the Development of Parliamentarism Alexey Chadaev, as well as experts and specialists involved in the development of the project.

Horizon 2040 was launched by ASI and the Russian Export Center in November 2022. Among the objectives of the project is to form a vision of the challenges and trends that may occur in the main areas of socio-economic life of the Russian and world community, as well as to identify opportunities and threats to development on the horizon of 2040.

The project involves two stages of work, the result of which will be the creation of scenarios for the development of Russia and the determination of the possibility of the subjective position of our country, taking into account the context of the development of key international players. During the first stage, ten working groups were formed, which carried out work on separate thematic domains. During the implementation of the project, more than 70 meetings of working groups were held, more than 150 experts on key areas of global development were involved in the work. They joined together in a community to determine the image of Russia's future by 2040 based on global trends and forecasts."

Vladimir Putin Sent Greetings to Participants of St. Petersburg International Economic Forum

Russian President Vladimir Putin has sent his greetings to the participants, organizers, and guests of the 26th St. Petersburg International Economic Forum. The theme of this year’s Forum is ‘Sovereign Development as the Basis of a Just World: Joining Forces for Future Generations’.

Russian President noted that at SPIEF 2023 scientists, entrepreneurs, politicians and public figures will discuss key trends and changes in the Russian and global economy, which are driven by the ongoing formation of a multipolar world and efforts by most countries to secure political and economic independence.

Vladimir Putin emphasized it is vital to make the most of the opportunities that are presenting themselves in the global economy and to focus on attaining technological and financial sovereignty, forging strong ties, developing optimal logistics routes, improving infrastructure and tackling inequality and poverty.

Vladimir Putin also mentioned boosting the labour market as one of the priorities: “In order to achieve this, there needs to be a close partnership between the state and the business community, particularly with regard to introducing lean manufacturing technology and modernizing enterprises. And of course, more work is needed to optimize professional training and retraining programmes and improve the national employment service.”

Russian President expressed his confidence that the Forum will continue to help attain global economic objectives and serve as an example of constructive dialogue that leads to results."

Cities and Regions of the Future: Economy, Infrastructure, Technology, Management
14 Jun
According to UN forecasts, seven out of every ten people on this earth will be living in cities by 2050. In Russia, 75% of the population already live in cities. In mid-May, based on a survey of Russians, the neural network visualized what the cities of the future will look like. The key criteria included ecology and energy efficiency, comfortable urban environments, smart and technological solutions. Cities and regions are already active participants in the sustainable development agenda. When identifying top-priority projects, criteria linked to impact on the environment and on people’s quality of life as a whole come to the fore. In addition, digital technology, alongside the Internet of things, AI and smart city services are becoming widespread and an integral part of the urban economy, and are essentially laying the foundations for “cities of the future”. How can we balance the needs of the population and the capacity of budgets when identifying top-priority projects? What technological solutions can we confidently replicate across the country? How can business and government achieve a synergistic effect when implementing urban development projects? What tools can help evaluate the impact of the implementation of specific projects? How can we create horizontal collaboration between cities to reduce transaction costs when pooling experience and adopting best practices for the implementation of development projects?

Digital Technologies in the Primary Healthcare Service: A Factor in Saving People’s Lives
Primary healthcare needs to become more productive to achieve Russia’s national goal of increasing life expectancy. The universal introduction of information technologies, monitoring doctor’s appointments, and the transition to electronic document management should help improve the efficiency of medical organizations that provide primary healthcare and the availability of medical care. Additional measures need to be taken today to address the problem of uneven digitalization throughout the industry, which is further complicated by the digital divide between Russia’s regions. With the digital transformation of the healthcare sector, there is a separate segment that has not been covered by the total computerization of the pre-medical healthcare system (health centres, village first aid stations, and prevention centres). Modern digital and technological approaches to organizing the work of the pre-medical primary healthcare system will ensure constant monitoring of changes in each person’s health parameters during preventive medical examinations, and big data can help obtain information about the population’s health. What are the top priorities in the digitalization of primary healthcare right now? How does the development and introduction of modern automated diagnostic systems and information support programmes improve the availability and quality of primary healthcare?

Quantum Leap vs The Perfect Storm: Time To Invest Into The Future?
Last year’s events have divided the development of new technologies into “before” and “after”. Due to unprecedented sanctions from Western countries, many Russian companies found themselves in a situation where their investments in high-tech hadn’t lived up to expectations. Does that mean you should stop investing? Global statistics state the opposite. New markets are opening up, new technologies are being developed – over the past year alone, about $500 million have been invested in quantum technology. Not to mention the artificial intelligence, blockchain, biotech – every day we learn about new investments and further acceleration of these industries.

How can businesses restructure support for high-tech projects? Is it time for a new scientific strategy? And why even invest in something that will bring results only after a few years?

Breakfast session attendees will have a unique opportunity to test advanced computational methods in real time on the QBoard quantum computing cloud platform to resolve companies’ actual business and research problems.

Sovereignization As a New Development Perspective: How Socio-Economic Strategies of the Region’s Heads Changed After a Year of New Normality
At SPIEF 2022, Russian President Vladimir Putin spoke about Russia's desire for independence in all areas from culture to the economy, this principle is already being integrated into the management strategy at the federal and regional levels.
The sanctions have become an impetus for import substitution, Russia has managed to cope with the primary economic challenges. Having rebuilt the economy on the rails of import substitution, Russia will have to move on to the next stage - building sovereignty in key socio-economic areas.
Sovereignization, based on the possibility of self-sufficiency and the launch of competitive projects in the economy, science, and high technology, is becoming a management benchmark for the regions of Russia.

Issues for discussion:
• The first results of the sanctions confrontation. What will the new economic system be based on after overcoming the first sanctions costs? View from the regions
• How the direction of high technologies becomes a space for cooperation between the state and business
• Scientific autonomy. How to maintain the trend of recent decades to launch research centers and training programs in the regions
• Independence not only in economics and technology, but also in social policy: focus on supporting public initiative as a driver of real change

Sustainable Development and Green Economy Throught the Regional Agenda
An effective regional policy is based on mutually beneficial cooperation between public authorities, scientific and educational institutions, the business environment and the population, which contributes to an increase in the intensity and effectiveness of business, increases innovation activity and leads to sustainable economic growth of the territory.

An effective tool to achieve this goal is the "green" economy. Sustainable development is considered today as a vector of movement towards the set strategic goals, as an effective anti-crisis tool that helps to ensure technological sovereignty, localize production processes, and rebuild supply chains.

Indicative in this regard is the example of the Chuvash Republic, which is among the 11 regions of the country that put these ideas into practice. In 2023, the Republic adopted the Concept of Sustainable Development, which is based on the principles of efficient use of the limited resources of the region, assessment of risks and opportunities associated with climate change, attitude towards the environment, and will determine the economic and financial agenda of Chuvashia.

Issues for discussion:
• The role of regions in shaping the concept of sustainable development. A conceptual and integrated approach to a green economy
• Cooperation between business and government. Actual challenges of our time
• Regional economy: from adaptation to growth
• Resource management
• Improving the quality of life of the population

New Approaches and Effective Solutions for Sustainable Development
The world is halfway to achieving the global sustainable development goals (SDGs) set by the UN General Assembly.

Progress in achieving the global goals and mitigating economic turbulence is only possible by means of developing innovative solutions and building strong cooperation ties between the government and businesses, manufacturing industry and watchdogs, civil society and the investment community.

Lack of practice in adjusting innovative approaches to the new reality hinders quick response in order to solve problems related to the gap between practices and regulations, lack of tools to support innovations aimed at achieving the SDGs, insufficient adaptation of high-tech industries to green economy standards, and the need to build integration processes encouraging ESG innovations.

As a result of the session, a plan to address the said issues is expected to be drawn up in cooperation with stakeholders.

Architecture of Sky Development: The Face of the New Economy 2035
Today, we are just beginning to truly conquer the skies and embark on the journey of colonization. Why can we make such a claim? There are now thousands of machines, soon to be millions, flying above us and adhering to their own set of rules. Their ability to navigate and communicate with one another is crucial for ensuring safety, primarily for humankind and subsequently for themselves. The unmanned aviation industry is still in its infancy, facing more limitations than incentives for growth. To reverse the negative trend, it is imperative to establish new regulations and governance mechanisms for the unmanned aerial systems industry, which are necessary for technological breakthroughs to take place. What are the principles and approaches for shaping the new industry? Are the management models of civil aviation from the past 100 years applicable to drones? How can we once more reignite the childhood dream of millions of people to conquer the sky?

LET'S GO: Integrated Unmanned Freight Transport Hits the Motorway for the First Time
Since autumn 2022, Russia has been running an unprecedented road freight transport project called "Unmanned Logistics Corridors'' on the M11 motorway. The Russian project is unique. For the first time, it encompasses all aspects of the business chain, including innovative vehicles, a new transport model, digital road infrastructure, and both legal and technical regulations. The primary objective is not simply to test unmanned technologies, but rather to assess the economic viability of their implementation in transportation. To facilitate this, the government has introduced a special experimental legal regime to examine different hypotheses related to unmanned solutions, the organization of unmanned transport, and road infrastructure. The long-term challenge lies in successfully scaling up the new technologies, solutions and regulations from the 670 km stretch of the M11 motorway to the country's main road transport corridors, covering at least 19,500 km by 2030. What are the early successes and early lessons of the Unmanned Logistics Corridors project? How can a consensus be reached between safety, economics, risk, and the pace of innovation in regulating the production, certification and operation of unmanned freight vehicles? What are the macroeconomic and social development effects that this project can bring to the country?

Climate Economy: The Carbon Market as an Innovative Mechanism for Extrabudgetary Financing of Socially Beneficial Projects

In partnership with Gazprombank

The climate economy encompasses both costs and possibilities, forming a tapestry of potential that extends far beyond mere slogans. While many associate this concept with distant lands, it is pertinent to recognize its relevance within Russia's borders. The energy transition, an integral facet of the climate economy, undoubtedly presents challenges, but it also ignites the spark of innovation. These opportunities are not exclusive to corporate giants alone; regional authorities too hold the reins of transformation. An exemplar lies in tackling the crucial socio-economic issue of curtailing the destructive impact of peat bog combustion. Several regions have taken strides towards utilizing carbon market mechanisms to facilitate peatland irrigation, powered by extrabudgetary sources. The concept is elegant in its simplicity: commercial enterprises undertake the task of peatland irrigation, which in turn curbs greenhouse gas emissions. These reductions transmute into a valuable commodity known as carbon units, garnering interest from the market. Through this synergy, two national objectives are concurrently realized: mitigating the peril of wildfires and diminishing net greenhouse gas emissions in alignment with the national low-carbon development strategy. Consequently, the ultimate financing stems from purchasers of carbon units, for whom it becomes a conduit to ameliorate their own carbon footprint. Such carbon units possess tremendous intrinsic worth and market value, as ventures that amalgamate multiple benefits are deemed lucrative in the international arena. In the context of peatland restoration, these encompass the abatement of greenhouse gas emissions, climate change adaptation, and the preservation of biodiversity. Consequently, their value is poised to soar, not solely on a domestic level but also in the global sphere.

Prospects for the Growth of the Digital Financial Assets Market in Russia
Digital tools have become widespread in many developed nations. Despite the global trend, lots of people do not trust them. Russia began independently regulating digital financial assets with legislative in 2021. Digital financial assets (DFAs) make it possible to tokenize almost any asset, from precious metals to a square metre of real estate, from debt obligations to securities. At the same time, DFAs differ from classical financial instruments technologically and structurally, which helps to single them out as a separate segment of the investment and financial market. Numerous innovative DFA-based instruments were released in 2022–2023. They include DFAs for precious and non-ferrous metals as well as and DFAs for debt, which enable small and medium-sized businesses – suppliers – to obtain more affordable financing and an instrument with a record-low entry threshold that is tied to the cost per square metre of real estate. The issuance of DFAs is more technologically advanced and in many respects faster and more convenient for the issuer compared with classical instruments. In the future, tokenization will create new opportunities for both business and investors. How can the development of DFAs make it easier for business to gain access to capital, expand the range of investment products, and redirect domestic investment in the Russian economy amidst sanctions? What is the best way to incorporate digital technologies into the financing mechanisms of various industries and improve domestic investment potential using DFAs?

The Climate Agenda VS Technological Sovereignty: How to Turn Challenges into Opportunities?
Despite geopolitical risks, Russia remains steadfast in its pursuit of technological sovereignty and the advancement of its industrial technology. Moreover, it is actively implementing an agenda to address climate change, aligning with its low greenhouse gas emission socio-economic development strategy until 2050, and actively participating in the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). A key focus has been the harmonization of domestic green standards with international norms, particularly in countries such as India and China. Central to this endeavour is the policy of technological sovereignty, accompanied by the establishment of mechanisms to promote the adoption of the most cutting-edge technologies that align with the green agenda. Can the pursuit of technological sovereignty align with a green agenda? How does carbon regulation contribute to maintaining Russia's leading position in global climate projects and green business initiatives, including benefits, subsidies, and other incentives? What role does the government play in developing low-carbon industrial technologies, and who determines the specific climate and technology requirements at the national, regional, and sectoral levels?

BRICS Business Partnerships in the New Economic Reality
Today, rather than making concerted efforts to normalize international trade, several Western countries have chosen to implement politically motivated unilateral and unjustified trade measures that have only worsened the impact of the pandemic. These economies' direct violations of WTO rules have placed significant pressure on global supply chains, which remain fragile in the aftermath of the pandemic. Fragmentation trends within the once-unified globalization process have recently intensified. Dividing lines have emerged in the world economy, politics and society, and the role of uncertainty in global development has increased dramatically. BRICS holds immense potential for fostering trade and economic cooperation. In 2023, South Africa will hold the presidency of BRICS. In order to address the new challenges and risks, how can we, as BRICS and the developing world, work together to promote open, inclusive, and mutually beneficial trade and economic cooperation?

Back to the Future, or Forward to the Past?
Each of us strives to live in the present, but it is impossible to do so without giving consideration to the past and the future. Our past moulds our personality and our future, at least our imagined and desired future. It serves as a vector for our continued growth. Is the notion of "back to the future” illogical or a fantasy? Right now, it seems to us that the past is behind us and we are moving forward into the future. A significant number of experts believe that climate change will profoundly alter life on Earth in the near future. According to their grim forecasts, within the next 30 years, there will be an acceleration of species extinction, widespread occurrence of tropical diseases, destruction of ecosystems, and the flooding of coastal cities. The ramifications of carbon pollution in the atmosphere will have a greater impact on future generations, who bear no responsibility for global warming that began in the late 20th century. By 2050, tens of millions of people will likely experience chronic hunger, while an additional 130 million could be plunged into extreme poverty. Hundreds of millions of people will be at risk from flooding and increasingly frequent storm surges. Approximately 350 million more individuals residing in urban areas will face water scarcity as a result of severe drought. Can we find ways to mitigate this crisis? What lessons can we learn from our history, and how can we shape our future? Will we listen to reason, or will we continue to go backwards?

Investing in Cities: Measuring Effectiveness
The process of urbanization is one of the most significant for global development. Governments around the world are implementing urban development programmes aimed at developing and upgrading infrastructure, enhancing the intellectual capacity of cities, expanding their functions, transforming their economies, and addressing quality-of-life issues, including housing provision. Russia is no exception and has launched large-scale federal initiatives to create a comfortable urban environment, develop infrastructure, upgrade housing stock, and enhance the innovative and educational aspects of cities. These initiatives have elicited positive responses from both the population and the business community. Similarly, ambitious urban development projects are underway in the Asia-Pacific region, the Middle East, and other global macro-regions. While cities offer opportunities for investment and innovation in economic sectors, cultural diversity, education, and healthcare access for citizens, they also pose challenges such as pollution, social segregation, and demographic crises.

New World Economy: Not Global Anymore, but Still Interconnected
The developments of the early 2020s including the pandemic and the military-political crisis in Europe have changed the world dramatically. The liberal-style globalization, which had been developing since the 1980s, is giving its way to another form of mutual relations, much more complex than the scheme that has existed so far. On the one hand, the universal system of common norms and rules is no longer working. States are emphasizing their own national interests, protectionist sentiments are growing, while the institutions of global governance are losing their effectiveness. On the other hand, the world is not falling apart, its interconnection is strengthening, although its forms are changing. The developments of 2020-2023 force a change in logistics and transport chains, and new configurations of partnerships are emerging with political and regional factors now playing a more significant role than before. Meanwhile, the manifestations of fierce competition – up to acts of outright economic warfare – reduce the overall transparency of the global economy, since many states are forced to conceal their trade and investment activities. Virtually all markets, from raw materials and consumer products to technology and culture, are experiencing a radical restructuring. The new economic system is still unified and interconnected, yet not global in the old sense. How will it be built? What are its opportunities and risks?

Russia–China relations have experienced healthy development this year. In 2022, bilateral trade between the two countries reached an all-time high of $190.271 billion, representing a year-on-year increase of 29.3%. China has consistently remained Russia's primary trading partner for 13 consecutive years. Furthermore, the volume of bilateral trade continues to grow, with the scope expanding beyond traditional areas like energy, forestry and agriculture to include many new sectors such as automobiles, household appliances, and food processing. Trade volume saw a steady increase to $53.846 billion in the first quarter of 2023, an increase of 38.7% compared to the same period a year prior. Projects centred around "mutual communication and interconnectivity" have contributed to the well-being of the population. Russia has announced plans to increase grain exports to China through the "Russia-China New Land Grain Corridor," while China has added the port of Vladivostok as a transit port for domestic trade goods. The Blagoveshchensk–Heihe Bridge, the first road bridge connecting Russia and China, and the Tongjiang–Nizhneleninskoye Railway Bridge, the first railway bridge linking the two nations, are now open for traffic. Bilateral cooperation continues to display new areas of growth. Russia-China interregional cooperation activity remains strong, with emerging opportunities for cooperation in many areas, such as information technology, cross-border e-commerce, digital economy, and biopharmaceuticals.

Digital Dictatorship vs Digital Sovereignty: Problems, Risks, Opportunities
The technological revolution that has made possible the creation of a parallel digital universe has simultaneously given rise to brand new types of challenges and threats. However, many of them can easily be traced to the familiar neo-colonial reflexes of the "collective West" abusing its dominant position in the IT sector and its access to the main levers of Internet governance. The policy of exclusivity and privilege pursued by the West under the label of "rule-based world order" is also being projected onto the global digital space, condemning it to inevitable fragmentation. American internet giants are becoming obedient tools in Washington's information warfare against Russia. The risks are difficult to predict due to the malicious use of the latest technologies, such as artificial intelligence.

Multipolarity and Connectedness as a New Paradigm of International Trade
The direct involvement of extra-regional states in the acute crisis in Europe is the most obvious manifestation of the globalization crisis. However, its causes are much broader and encompass the escalating geopolitical rivalry among major powers, the vulnerability of transportation and financial logistics in dire circumstances, and the inability of international institutions, particularly the WTO, to effectively respond to the crisis. It is evident that when global institutions fail to deliver, regional structures assume prominence. This process is objective as it reflects the transition to a multipolar world order. Nevertheless, economic growth cannot be achieved if regional blocs are isolated themselves. Consequently, connectivity is emerging as an integral component of economic multipolarity. The Eurasian Economic Union is one of the most open regional economic unions for international trade. Russia managed to successfully overcome the transportation and logistics challenges brought about by the 2020-2021 epidemic only through mutual assistance and cooperation with international partners. Hence, it is especially important for Russia to transition to new formats of trade and political interaction involving the EAEU, China, India, Iran, African and Gulf states, while leveraging the capabilities of organizations such as the SCO, BRICS and ASEAN. Technological sovereignty should not lead to technological isolation. How can this be achieved? What should the role of industry initiatives be? Who can assume the position of technology leader? What has been accomplished thus far, and what further actions are required to transition trade to national currencies?

300 Years of Experience: What's Next for Russia's Scientific Institutions?
It is often said that the human lifespan is short, but is that really true? Scientists have discovered that humans could live longer than is commonly believed. The human heart has a lifespan of at least 300 years, and the liver can function for more than 600 years. These findings are based on studies of individual organs, and when we consider the entire organism, it becomes evident that humans have the potential to live well beyond 100 years. Memories can endure even longer. And what are the milestones in our lives? Do these include jubilee years? Obviously, they are important celebrations, but few people know that on this day, goals change, the course of life shifts, and even destiny is rewritten. Jubilee years serve as energetic milestones, marking a new direction for the future. They represent a period of balance during which the universe strives to fulfil our dreams, rewrite the programme of our lives, and assist us in finding ourselves. In addition to providing energy for accomplishing tasks, they also bestow upon us a mission for the future and offer hints about the best way to solve upcoming problems. In 2024, the Russian Academy of Sciences will turn three hundred years old, while the All-Russian Society for Nature Conservation will celebrate its centenary. These anniversaries will be commemorated through a number of celebratory events associated with significant dates in the lives of these esteemed organizations.

The first stage of support for renewable energy in Russia has been completed, and all new solar and wind farms will be built with a flat rate return on investment for the amount of electricity they generate. The situation in the industry in 2022 showed the need for and importance of implementing import substitution plans in Russia’s power engineering industry. In addition, the expansion of mandatory requirements for localization as part of the RES support programme means there needs to be a progressive increase in significant investments in the creation and development of both the primary and related high-tech industrial production of green energy. What is needed to achieve technological sovereignty and stabilize prices for domestic equipment? What industries need to be created to reduce dependence on commodity markets? Government representatives, leading manufacturers of electrical equipment, and major electricity consumers will discuss answers to these and other questions.

A Digital Leap in Agriculture

Russian IT companies have increasingly directed their focus towards the agribusiness industry, spearheading the development of cutting-edge solutions to streamline processes and establish new trends in agritech worldwide.
The integration of technology into agriculture encompasses a multitude of aspects, ranging from the implementation of "precision farming," where satellite-based aerospace systems guide farmers in the optimal application of fertilizers, to the utilization of drones for harvesting or spraying crop protection agents (CPA). Moreover, advancements include the manipulation of microorganisms to create food, advancements in livestock and crop breeding, and much more. These high-tech solutions are already making significant strides in certain sectors, particularly among larger-scale enterprises.
How can the widespread adoption of these innovations be accomplished? What steps are necessary to foster the development of robust agricultural technology clusters?

The Onset of the Singularity: AI vs Humankind and the New Reality
Over the past year, noticeable changes have occurred on the market for artificial intelligence tools. AI has learned to communicate with people in a natural language, pass exams at leading universities, and create realistic images. These new tools are available to ordinary users. They are changing their lives and companies’ business models. Are these changes a signal that humanity has reached a technological singularity whereby AI is able to solve complex problems and create new technologies without people’s help? If not, how many years will it take to reach this singularity? How and when will the impact of AI on the labour market manifest itself? How will the introduction of new tools change the economy? Will they lead to the creation of industries or to the redistribution of profits to existing ones?
What target model for the development of AI technologies would enable Russia to utilize its potential and provide leadership?

Cyberphysical Space: Made in Russia
Digital technology has become an integral part of our lives in recent years, and “phygital" (physical plus digital) trends are becoming a new growth area and a platform to showcase opportunities. Cyberphysical formats have confidently occupied niches in a wide range of industries, from economics and services to education and sports. In 2023, a team of Russian developers, alongside the Agency for Strategic Initiatives, the Government of the Republic of Bashkortostan and the Kruzhok Movement of the National Technological Initiative, launched the creation of the world's first National Cyberphysical Platform. The platform includes a series of strategic mobile video games in popular genres, featuring phygital elements, with a focus on technologically advanced players. The project is unique in that the games serve as an entry point to technological education for school children, which helps interest them in science and engineering, and teaches them programming and other skills. This makes it possible for each participant to go from playing a mobile game to entering a technological innovation environment. What are the prospects for the development of the cyber and phygital sports industry in Russia? What foundations does Russia already have, and what potential niches can be occupied by domestic products? What measures are needed to increase investment in video games and Russian cybersport?

A Digital Area of Growth: How Labelling Is Changing the Business Climate
It is hard to imagine that, just five years ago, Russia essentially did not have a single system for monitoring trade flows for every manufactured unit at each stage of its progress from manufacturing to sales. A digital goods labelling system using Russian technologies has now been launched and is working in Russia, EAEU countries and the Republic of Uzbekistan. The system provides information on the state of different sectors: the dynamics of manufacturing and imports, the volumes of real time stocked products and sales, prices and markups along the entire goods progress chain. This system allows the state to prevent shortages and control imports, preclude scalping, reduce illegal turnover and ensure that excise duties and mandatory fees are paid in full. Businesses can now optimize their processes using Big Data, increase sales by eliminating illegal actors and boosting transparency in their collaboration with business partners. How could the labelling system help domestic manufacturers develop? What effect could be achieved by transitioning to digital excise duties? What risk-orientated approach instruments are used with the labelling system services? What cases implemented in Russia could be rolled out to the EAEU states and the Republic of Uzbekistan? How could labelling help amid parallel imports? What information from the system could tap into the full potential of the project and improve business efficiency?

Profit Through Skills: Investing in Professional Development
Continuing adult education encompasses a broad range of objectives, including enhancing labour productivity, introducing new technologies, and improving citizens' well-being. However, in Russia, only 26.1% of the employed population (25–65 years old) have received advanced and/or vocational training. In Russia, there are many well-paid vacancies, at the same time when many citizens have low wages. The new challenge faced by the country’s labour market is helping citizens acquire additional skills, followed by an increase in a person's real income. To address this issue, Russia is implementing a pilot project called “Let's Earn Together”, which is a new approach to creating a transparent investment market for citizens' careers and improving their well-being through professional growth. Why is it important for Russians to invest in their careers? Why should a country develop an infrastructure for investing in careers? Is it feasible to establish a market for private investment in citizens' careers? What federal regulations need to be implemented? What new instruments can give a boost to citizens' income through professionalism?

Russia–EAEU–BRICS: Non-financial Reporting as a Lever for Creating Sustainable Supply Chains and Developing Trade Relations
THE WORLD ECONOMY AT A GLOBAL TURNING POINT
In the spring of 2023, the issue of mandatory disclosure of non-financial reporting by large Russian companies gained renewed momentum for discussion and practical implementation. This once again confirmed Russia's interest in transitioning towards a sustainable model of economic development. The focus has shifted towards establishing trust, not only from public authorities but also from investors and foreign trading partners. However, the Western standards of information disclosure, which have been widely used by businesses in the past, failed to fully consider Russia's economic interests and national characteristics, as well as those of Eastern, Asian, African, and Latin American countries. At the same time, the current geopolitical landscape is marked by a shift from globalization to regionalization of economic relations. The reconfiguration of trade relations necessitates the harmonization of regulations and approaches to selecting trading partners. The establishment of a shared system for Russia and friendly nations to assess "sustainable" production and supply chains holds significant potential for enhancing mutual trade turnover. What role can Russia and its key partners in the EAEU and BRICS play in this process? Can non-financial reporting become another 'language of communication' between Russian businesses and counterparties from friendly jurisdictions? What infrastructure is required to facilitate the exchange of data on corporate non-financial reporting between trading partners?

Technological Alliances: The Future of Russian High-Tech Exports
In a world where two dominant technological players, the US and China, have emerged, Russia is confronted with the challenge of expanding its technological influence and capturing foreign markets to sustain a solid foundation for its ongoing scientific and technological development. Clearly, Russia cannot accomplish this task single-handedly, which is why the creation of technological alliances to accumulate a "critical mass" has become an essential focus for both business and government. Who are our partners for forming friendly markets? How is the process of foreign expansion of Russian companies going? Which markets are the top priorities for Russian technologies? What should be Russia's global technology strategy? How can businesses and the Russian government collaborate to create optimal conditions for technological expansion?

Russian Banking on the Path of Sovereign Development: Realignment for Advancement
The Russian banking sector has withstood the sanctions blow and is successfully adapting to the new geo-economic context. Two principal tasks are currently on top of agenda. The first one is getting back on sustainable growth and profitability track. Equally important is pooling adequate financial resources to deliver a breakthrough in key areas of economic development. The phrase "invest not save" should clearly emphasize the former option. How have Russian banks restructured their domestic operations? What role has the regulator played? What new challenges do Russian banks face abroad and how do they deal with them? Is the sector able to mobilize resources for a ‘qualitative leap’? Where can long-term money for priority development projects be found? What new roles do financial institutions, private investors and regulators now play? Does the Russian stock market have a future? Is ‘financial sovereignty’ an irreversible trend or just a buzz-word? What is this trend driven by?

Updating Russia's Long-Term Industrial Policy for the New Reality
Fundamental changes in the structure of foreign economic relations necessitate a radical overhaul of Russia's approach to industrial development. A considerable number of foreign manufacturers specializing in high-tech industrial equipment, software, automated control systems, technology suppliers, engineering, consulting, and service providers have withdrawn from the market. These entities were previously utilized by Russian industrial enterprises as part of the international division of labour. The long-term, sustainable growth of Russian industry can only be achieved through the domestic production of its own equipment, the advancement of applied science, and increased investment in research and development (R&D). The development of industry through domestic resources should be the primary focus of the country's development, and this requires active support from the government. What adjustments are needed in Russia's current long-term industrial policy? What challenges do Russian designers and manufacturers of equipment and technological solutions face? Which links in the technological chains require priority attention from the state? What should be done to revive the innovative potential of R&D organizations? How can the conditions for acquiring modern knowledge and promoting the professional development of engineering staff be improved?

Modern-Day Mythology. What is the Value of a Legend?
Legends and myths have always served as a means of organizing social and cultural life and providing a more comprehensive understanding of the world. They are typically associated with phenomena and facts that are not easily explained. In the modern world, mythology is often juxtaposed with scientific knowledge. However, despite scientific progress, myths persist in the human psyche, evolving and adapting to new forms while remaining an inherent part of our culture. The mythological view of the world always provides ready-made answers, contrasting with rational thinking, which raises challenging questions. There are no contradictions, and all narratives are easily comprehensible. The enduring presence of mythology throughout history can be attributed to its ability to shape a comprehensive understanding of the world. One of its primary functions is to create stereotypes that can easily influence the collective consciousness. The second function is compensatory, as myths explain incomprehensible phenomena and provide explanations of the world, thus compensating for gaps in knowledge. The third function is symbolic, as the significance of myth lies not in its literal content but rather in its interpretation. In today's society, the incessant flow of diverse information is eroding our understanding of what ought to be and how it should be. People are finding it increasingly difficult to navigate the ever-changing external world and are seeking some form of anchor to guide them through the information space. The information revolution has made it easier to manipulate the collective consciousness. Unlike in the past when people placed faith in super-powerful deities and animals, today myths have permeated mass culture and are extending their influence into the realms of politics and economics. Modern society now hosts an abundance of legends and myths compared to those once found in ancient tribes and nations. What are today’s prevalent myths? How can we explain the current state of affairs? Are our actions a form of myth, and how do they relate to real life?

Technologies of the Future: When They’re Needed, It’s Already Too Late
Science is currently on the verge of new achievements that will shape the technological image of the future: nanobiotechnology, genome and gene engineering, molecular robotics, quantum and neuromorphic computers, big data technologies, self-driving vehicles and much, much more. Further advances in any of these areas will bring about revolutionary changes in industry and quality of life, a fact understood by both nation states and major companies investing tens of billions of dollars each year in the development of new “emerging” technologies. Over the last 20 years, the number of businesses with scientific divisions has increased by one and a half times in Russia. How can we incentivize Russian entrepreneurs to invest in future technologies? What could the next nuclear or space project be? And how can a scientist or a tech entrepreneur become a hero of this new time?

Cooperation with BRICS Countries in Space: From Partnership to Technological Alliance
Today, BRICS countries face the shared challenge of forming a more equitable world order that provides equal development opportunities and ensures technological sovereignty for all nations, while also safeguarding their independence from unilateral sanctions. Among the top priorities to focus on in order to achieve technological sovereignty is the realm of space activities. This domain not only contributes directly and extensively to defence capabilities, but also fosters advancements in the digital economy, scientific breakthroughs, new technologies, and reinforcement of productive, cultural and human connections with friendly nations. Historical experience demonstrates that tackling large-scale objectives is more effectively accomplished in cooperation with partners within the framework of major sectoral and scientific projects, as well as by forming technological alliances. How do the BRICS members see the format of a technological alliance in the realm of space cooperation? How can this alliance contribute to the economic stability and independence of the participating countries amidst unilateral sanctions? In what ways can collaboration in the field of space strengthen and develop the technological sovereignty of the entire BRICS alliance, as well as each of its members? Is there a need for the BRICS countries to establish a joint 'Space Internet' system and undertake a joint manned lunar programme? How can national near-Earth stations be utilized to benefit the BRICS countries and the joint lunar programme, such as for the development of new space technologies, a production facility, cosmonaut training, a transportation hub, and other related objectives? How can the BRICS nations coordinate their efforts on groundbreaking space initiatives like ‘nuclear space energy’ and ‘biology of living organisms (including humans, animals, and plants) in space,’ which are essential for the exploration of near-Earth and deep space, and also possess substantial commercial potential on Earth?

AI in Higher Education: A Breakthrough or Degradation?
BUILDING TECHNOLOGICAL SOVEREIGNTY
The main opportunities provided by universities are knowledge increments and a dialogue with the people who possess such knowledge. What needs to be done in a situation where young people focus on social media, and teachers cannot keep up with advancements in technology? The development of generative AI solutions acutely raises the question of whether there are professions in which algorithmic work not only plays a prominent role, but there is also a creative component (programming, document management, design, journalism, law, and others). The use of AI no longer requires knowledge of algorithms and programming skills, although such knowledge has still not penetrated the humanities areas of universities at a high level. The inability to stop progress poses a number of challenges for us: we need to ensure the rapid development and use of new technologies, establish technological sovereignty, and always have the ability to control the quality of results obtained through AI. A decrease in the number of high school graduates who have the required level of mathematics is one of the most pressing issues in this era of digital challenges. How reliable are the results of knowledge synthesized by artificial intelligence, how soon will machines replace people, and who is responsible for such social development? Finally, what should we do if it turns out there is no AI? Is there any other mainstream that is ready for tomorrow?

Technological Sovereignty in Agribusiness: Challenges and Opportunities
Agribusiness is a fundamental sector of the Russian economy that not only works to ensure the country’s food security, but also provides a large amount of raw agricultural materials and food to the global market. However, even in 2023, Russia remains highly dependent on foreign means of production for agribusiness, such as biotechnological developments, planting materials, genetics for livestock production, and other technologies. For some positions, imports of foreign technologies are as high as 100%. This situation is an Achilles’ heel in ensuring the country’s global competitiveness and the independence of the entire industry. This is why strengthening technological sovereignty in agribusiness is one of the priorities of the state’s policy as well as agricultural research centres, universities, and leading agricultural holdings. Technological sovereignty in agribusiness: where is the weak spot? What agribusiness technologies have the potential to be replaced in Russia? What role could the development of a talent pool play in boosting technological independence in agribusiness? How can science, government, and business enhance collaboration to create new technologies? What is the best way to establish cooperation in breeding and genetics?

Overcoming the Global Digital Crisis: Is There a Way Out?
The global processes of digital transformation have generated excessively high public expectations regarding the economic effects and GDP growth prospects of digital economies. However, these estimates have failed to account for the significant risks involved, which have now become highly alarming. The activation and transformation of the digital underworld, driven by global political conflicts, have compelled the international community to reassess the directions of digitalization and prioritize digital sovereignty. The withdrawal of foreign companies from the Russian market has had a severe impact on the resilience of information systems in crucial industries such as energy, agriculture, medicine, finance, and others, where numerous processes are now reliant on digital solutions and lack physical alternatives. The public's confidence in digital services has been shattered by large-scale breaches of personal data, despite government systems demonstrating resilience against external threats. The global digital crisis is first and foremost a crisis of digital trust. How well-prepared is the Russian economy to face unforeseen challenges? How crucial are these challenges for Russia's continued digital development, or is it a crisis of opportunity? What factors should both businesses and the government take into account to establish a sustainable and secure infrastructure? What measures are necessary to guarantee the growth of domestic technologies within the country?

Shaping Supply and Demand: Charting a Course for Innovative Development of the Pharmaceutical Industry in Russia
The availability of innovative medical technologies is essential for improving the quality of medical care and public health indicators. New geopolitical challenges necessitate the need for innovative drug import substitution to maintain access to quality medical care for our citizens. The development of innovative drug provision requires a significant increase in the volume of domestic production, overcoming the pharmaceutical industry's passive approach to innovative development. This can be achieved by shifting the regulatory policy towards stimulating the growth of innovative portfolios and promoting the introduction of domestic innovative drugs to the market. An important stimulus is the creation of mechanisms to swiftly and effectively integrate innovations into practical healthcare. The effective development of the Russian pharmaceutical industry is impossible without strengthening export potential and building long-term international cooperation in friendly pharmaceutical markets. How can we strike a balance between the interests of regulators and pharmaceutical manufacturers in the realm of innovative development? What tools and measures of state support are necessary to help the advancement of cutting-edge medical technologies? Which innovative products and technologies currently serve as the main drivers of medical progress? How can we prioritize which innovations should receive funding in the first place? What are the current methods for integrating innovations into the healthcare system, and what obstacles exist in this process? How can we enhance the effectiveness of financing for innovations? What steps should be taken to build partnerships in friendly pharmaceutical markets? How can we boost the export of Russian pharmaceutical products and medical devices?

Over the past year, green development has only become a more popular issue at the leading discussion platforms. The professional community’s interest in this topic is clearly growing. Why is this happening though? What and who are the drivers of this growth? Why do developers need a sustainable development agenda now? Can sustainable development also be beneficial for developers? Does green building save money or is it an additional investment? What projects and what technologies can be applied now? What is new on the market and what tools can be introduced?

Research in Development. A Comfortable Data-Driven Environment
Today, developers are trying to respond to people’s needs for residential environment projects. Particular attention is paid to multifunctionality and accessibility, but how can we determine which amenities people really need and which ones will not be in demand?

Spatial development research companies are helping to solve this issue. Collaborating with urbanists could help developers find the right approach in working with the urban environment and implementing a comfortable and profitable project.

- What research opportunities for the development of the urban environment could be useful for business?
- What aspects should be taken into account when conducting a pre-project analysis of a territory?
- What research methods are development companies using today and what opportunities do they see for the further evolution of this work?

The New Look of the Metropolis. How Developers Are Transforming Cities
The appearance of cities is actively changing, which is creating a new way of life for citizens. What design principles do leading development companies adhere to today? How are developer projects changing people’s lives on the scale of a district or an entire city? How do developers view the urban environment of the future? We will answer these and many other questions during discussions with key executives from leading Russian development companies.

The City of Tomorrow. Changes in Urban Planning amidst the Development of New Technologies
Urban architecture has taken shape over the course of centuries, yet historical centres inevitably face the problem of integrating closed industrial zones, outdated infrastructure, and former suburbs that end up in the very centre of a growing metropolis.
Modern urban studies contain numerous examples of the successful transformations of urban master plans and the creation of striking architectural solutions to start a new life in historical centres.
What government support measures for developers and investors are the most effective for large-scale transformations of cities? What is preventing all the rust belts surrounding Russian cities from being transformed into modern neighbourhoods with new downtown areas to attract people? What is the government doing today to attract and stimulate investment in the centres of megacities? What challenges do developers face today in terms of creating new public spaces? How can we make the economics of transforming urban historical centres profitable for the country, the city, investors, and people?

Пленарное заседание Петербургского международного экономического форума

Владимир Путин принял участие в пленарном заседании XXVI Петербургского международного экономического форума.

Plenary session of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum
Vladimir Putin took part in the plenary session of the XXVI St. Petersburg International Economic Forum.

June 16, 2023, 17:50, St. Petersburg

The session was also attended by the President of the Algerian People's Democratic Republic Abdelmajid Tebboun.

The moderator of the discussion is political scientist, historian, presenter of Channel One Dmitry Simes.

The St. Petersburg International Economic Forum has been held annually since 1997. During this time, it has gained the status of the world's leading platform for discussing key issues of the global economy.

In 2023, the SPIEF is held under the motto "Sovereign development is the basis of a just world. Let's join forces for the sake of future generations."

* * *

D. Symes: Ladies and gentlemen!

I am glad to welcome you to the St. Petersburg Forum, at the plenary session, where we will have two very important and interesting speeches – Russian President Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin and Algerian President Abdelmajid Tebboun.

As for the President of Algeria, I will introduce him separately later.

And as for President Putin, I think it is not necessary to represent him, and not only in this audience, but in any other. No matter how anyone treats his activities, this activity causes strong emotions all over the world. President Putin is universally regarded as a historical figure whose decisions have a great, I would even say a huge impact on the fate of Russia and more broadly on the future of all mankind.

Vladimir Vladimirovich, your word.

Vladimir Putin: Dear friends! Dear Mr. President, Ladies and gentlemen!
...
The next direction of the supply economy is to increase the efficiency of the real sector and the service sector, increase labor productivity in Russia by eliminating bottlenecks, eliminating losses, and implementing optimal solutions. All this is described by the term "careful production".

Since 2019, we have been implementing the national project "Labor Productivity". About five thousand enterprises participate in it, more than 88 thousand employees have been trained in new modern methods. We see how this work is yielding results, including in the military-industrial complex: it allows you to quickly customize the production of weapons and military equipment.

The introduction of the principles of careful, efficient production should gain momentum, not only in the basic sectors of the economy, but also in other sectors, in the social sphere. Here it is necessary to fully utilize the resource of the Federal Competence Center and expand its mandate.

Another key area of the supply economy concerns active automation and the development of artificial intelligence technologies.

In Russia, due to objective demographic processes, the supply on the labor market will be limited. In these conditions, it is extremely important for us to increase the pace of automation of mining, manufacturing, agriculture, transport and logistics, trade and many other areas.

Russia has not only huge potential here, but also effective solutions of its own. Just the other day, as part of our forum, the launch of KAMAZ unmanned trucks on the Neva federal highway took place. Unmanned Yandex taxis are already operating on the streets of Moscow. These are good, but so far isolated examples, and we need the mass introduction of such technologies.

Let me remind you that last November we discussed measures to stimulate the introduction and production of industrial robots in Russia. We agreed that the Government will approve the relevant federal draft by July 1. I ask you to strictly maintain this deadline: delay here is absolutely critical for our economy.

The next important question is what is called "data–based management". This approach should be applied almost everywhere in the transport and communications system, medicine, education, government agencies, and so on.

We need to actively implement and use these developments, support the preparation of domestic software in the field of big data, launch projects in the field of artificial intelligence and, of course, strengthen information security, monitor data turnover so that they do not harm national security and the interests of our citizens. My colleagues and I have already agreed on concrete actions in this regard.

Unfortunately, there is also a lag here – you need to catch up with it and strictly adhere to the established plans in the future. We will hear the Government's report on this direction in the near future.

I would like to add that we regularly review the implementation of new technological solutions in the Russian economy and hold an annual conference dedicated to artificial intelligence. And starting this year, we are launching a new special platform – the Forum of Future Technologies, where advanced areas of technological development will be discussed on an annual basis.

Companies, regions, research teams will present their developments, share their experience in mastering the latest solutions. The first forum will be held very soon – in July. Promising ideas in the field of computing and data transmission will be discussed. I invite everyone to take part in this.

Technological changes are going very fast today, and for effective development it is no longer enough to automate individual production processes: you need to act on the scale of entire markets. Successful examples of such working platforms already exist in Russia: This is the Yandex platform in the taxi market – I have already mentioned this – and the automatic lending system in the Savings Bank, and the Ozone e-commerce platform.

I repeat: we need to cover more and more industries and institutions, forming the techno–economy of the future - an economy with institutions operating on a qualitatively new technological basis.

The platform principle of data-based management is being actively implemented in the daily activities of the Russian Government and colleagues in the regions. In many areas of such work on the use of new principles of the digital state, we are among the undisputed world leaders, and this is a fact. We need to strengthen these positions and move on.
...
D. Simes:
Mr President, thank you very much for this impressive speech.

Before giving the floor to the President of Algeria, if you don't mind, I would like to ask you a couple of questions.

You talked about a lot of very important things, with figures and facts in your hands, showed how Russia is developing in very difficult conditions, how this development is moving forward, how it is socially oriented, preserves and strengthens the openness of the Russian economy. All this, of course, is very important, positive, and when I said "amazing" – amazing, Vladimir Vladimirovich, because all this is happening in the context of international tension, the conflict around Ukraine and the ongoing hostilities there. ..."

Древнейшая в Евразии подвеска, символизирующая мужское начало, найдена в Монголии

Ученые Института археологии и этнографии Сибирского отделения РАН (ИАЭТ, Новосибирск), Монгольской академии наук и Калифорнийского университета в Дэвисе обнаружили древнейшую в своем роде подвеску из графита в ходе раскопок памятника Толбор-21 в Северной Монголии. Результаты работы, выполненной...

The oldest pendant in Eurasia, symbolizing masculinity, was found in Mongolia

Scientists from the Institute of Archaeology and Ethnography of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences (IAET, Novosibirsk), the Mongolian Academy of Sciences and the University of California at Davis discovered the oldest graphite pendant of its kind during the excavations of the Tolbor-21 monument in Northern Mongolia. The results of the work carried out with the support of the Russian Science Foundation are published in the international journal Scientific Reports.

Unique suspension. Source: IAET SB RAS

Excavations at this monument have been carried out since 2014 under the leadership of the leading researcher of the IAET SB RAS Evgeny Rybin.

"At the moment, this product is the oldest image of a phallus in Eurasia and the only three-dimensional phallic pendant of Paleolithic time in the world. It was found in a layer that dates back to the age of 42 thousand years ago," Rybin's words are quoted in the message.

It is noted that gender characteristics, not only female, but also male, played a significant role in human symbolism at the stage of Homo sapiens settlement in Asia and their interaction with Neanderthals and Denisovans.

An international team of scientists conducted spectroscopic and microscopic studies, it was found that the object was broken, and the determination of the center of gravity showed that it was used as a suspension.

The object is made of graphite, the nearest deposit of which is located 100 km from the Tolbor-21 parking lot. Such transportation of exotic raw materials or products from it over long distances, up to 550 km, is already known for the Tolbor district, and at about the same time by the bearers of the same traditions of the initial Upper Paleolithic. Also on this monument were previously found pendants made of soft ornamental rocks of stone - serpentinite, talcite, steatite.

According to modern ideas, the settlement of ancient people in Eurasia went in waves: the first wave was associated with the migration of "Homo erectus" (Homo erectus) about 2 million years ago from Africa, the second - with the spread of the so-called Heidelberg man from the Middle East about 500-400 thousand years ago.

The "Heidelberg man" spread to the territory of the Caucasus, the Caspian Sea, Central Asia, interbred with the descendants of the "erect man", on this basis Neanderthals and Denisovans were formed.

The first Homo sapiens outside Africa appeared 177-210 thousand years ago, their traces were found on the territory of modern Israel and Greece, in East Asia their early traces date back to the age of 45-40 thousand years ago ("Ishim man", DNA finds in Denisova cave in Altai).

All subspecies of ancient man coexisted, could interbreed with each other and participated in the formation of a modern type of man. Paleogenetic studies have shown that about 6% of the genes of Denisovans have been preserved in modern inhabitants of Melanesia, Papua New Guinea and aborigines of Australia. Modern inhabitants of Eurasia got up to 4% of the genes from Neanderthals."

Digitalization of cities will help control greenhouse gas emissions

The Nevsky International Ecological Congress outlined the prospects for the development of the economy and society

At the end of May, the X Nevsky International Ecological Congress was held in St. Petersburg. The main theme of the Youth Day of the X Nevsky International Ecological Congress this year is "Ecology is my ideology". The event became a point of attraction for more than 2 thousand representatives of various environmental and youth communities: students, eco-activists, environmental organizations and businesses.

The organizers of the X Nevsky International Ecological Congress are the Government of the Russian Federation, the Federation Council of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation, the Interparliamentary Assembly of the CIS Member States (IPA CIS) and the Ministry of Natural Resources and Ecology of the Russian Federation, the operator for the preparation and holding of the event is the Roscongress Foundation. Among the co-organizers were the Federal Agency for Youth Affairs and the state Corporation Rosatom. The business program included panel discussions, a project session, and round tables. The event brought together participants from all regions of Russia, student communities, representatives of universities and NGOs, public and federal structures.

This year, 1.5 thousand people, including representatives of the mass media, have become guests and participants of the Nevsky International Environmental Congress. In comparison with 2021, the number of participants has almost doubled. The presence of representatives of 52 foreign States and territories testified to the international significance of the congress. Among the participants are more than 300 business representatives from Russia and foreign countries, delegated from more than 150 companies.

The key experts of the event were representatives of the scientific

The community consists of about 100 specialists, including more than 50 domestic and international environmental organizations.

The Nevsky International Environmental Congress has been held since 2008 in St. Petersburg and is a platform for solving the following issues:

– strengthening inter–parliamentary cooperation in the field of environmental safety and harmonization of environmental legislation of the CIS member states;

– development of dialogue and exchange of experience between representatives of public authorities, business circles, educational and research institutions, public organizations on improving the environmental efficiency of the economies of the CIS member states;

– improvement of legislation in the field of nature management and environmental protection using mechanisms of legal regulation of the introduction of resource-saving, energy-efficient and low-waste technologies, deep processing of raw materials and waste;

– increasing the role of environmental education and education of the population, promoting healthy lifestyle ideas;

– Formation of an international agenda related to environmental security policy in cooperation with specialized institutes of the United Nations system.

The Nevsky International Environmental Congress is held once every two years (in accordance with the Resolution of the IPA CIS Council of November 28, 2013).

"Ecology: a right, not a privilege" has become a key topic. I must say that at each of its meetings, the congress sets itself urgent tasks, uniting the state, business, science, and experts in discussions on solving acute environmental issues. The Congress is the main state event of international importance in the environmental sphere, which consolidates specialists from different countries and solves global issues of all mankind.

The Chairman of the Federation Council Valentina Matvienko noted in her speech that the right of every country and people is to live in a healthy environment and this is not a privilege of individual states. According to her, the Earth's ecosystem is global and unique, so if it is destroyed, no one will be able to hide anywhere.

Interest was aroused by the smart city project proposed by Rusatom Infrastructure Solutions JSC (RIR, which is part of the Rosatom State Corporation). The company shared its experience in implementing environmental projects, including the use of advanced digital solutions. The company is actively developing activities in the field of consulting on emissions reduction, as well as validation and verification of greenhouse gases.

In St. Petersburg, at the Youth Day of the X Nevsky International Ecological Congress, a panel discussion "Urbanism of eco-cities: a comfortable environment of the new time" was held, where the expert of the Sustainable Development project office of the RIR Vinera Kashapova presented a report "Climate initiatives of the city on the way to decarbonization". In her speech, the speaker stressed the effectiveness of a single integrated approach of infrastructural and digital development of cities to ensure sustainable development of the territory.

RIR pays close attention to the issues of ecology and nature conservation for future generations. The company has accumulated extensive experience in managing thermal power plants and implementing environmental projects, including using digital technologies. The RIR is also an accredited body for the validation and verification of greenhouse gas emissions in Russia. One of the priority tasks of environmental activities is to reduce the negative impact of production on the environment, including reducing emissions into the atmosphere. At the same time, RIR solutions in the field of digitalization of the urban environment, housing and communal services and public administration are used in more than 100 cities of Russia. The synergy of the "smart city" and the environmental agenda is a step into the future, which already has real cases today.

The Speaker of the RIR considered the main prerequisites and drivers of the climate agenda, initiatives to reduce the greenhouse effect and climate projects in Russia. Based on the experience, the company revealed the mechanism and methodology for the implementation of the climate project. Vinera Kashapova spoke about the functionality of the Smart City digital platform, shared an example of the successful implementation of a comprehensive infrastructure project in Zheleznovodsk. To date, it has no analogues: the work of the municipality, services for citizens, and tourist services are combined on one digital platform. There are "smart" stops and "smart" pedestrian crossings in the resort city. There is a system of intelligent accounting for the consumption of municipal resources and the accumulation of solid household waste ("smart" garbage cans). In kindergartens and schools, sensors are installed that record the consumption of water, heat, and electricity – thanks to round-the-clock monitoring, it is possible to save about 20% of the previously consumed amount of resources.

It is no secret that Rosatom, as the speaker noted, has become one of the recognized leaders of the environmental agenda. This boils down primarily to the exchange of unique experience of projects that are implemented in the environment on the basis of digital technologies. "The rational use of electricity is not just a concern for the federal, regional, local budgets or, perhaps, the family budget. This is a conscious contribution to the preservation of the environment, which does not require abandoning the usual level of comfort," said Vinera Kashapova."

Игорь Сечин: Британская BP - все еще крупнейший частный акционер «Роснефти»

Британская компания BP все еще остается крупнейшим частным акционером «Роснефти» с долей 19,75%, даже несмотря на заявления о безоговорочном уходе из РФ, заявил главный исполнительный директор российского нефтяного мейджора Игорь Сечин на

Igor Sechin: British BP is still the largest private shareholder of Rosneft

18.06.2022
The British company BP still remains the largest private shareholder of Rosneft with a 19.75% stake, even despite statements about unconditional withdrawal from the Russian Federation, the chief executive officer of the Russian oil major Igor Sechin said at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum. In his report "The New World Energy Market: A Crusade against Russian Oil and Where is Noah's Ark?" Sechin noted that BP also still owns stakes in large joint projects of companies such as Taas-Yuryakh, Kharampurneftegaz and Ermak Neftegaz.

According to the head of Rosneft, all this indicates BP's desire to wait out a difficult geopolitical situation and remain an active participant in the Russian company without losses. As Sechin says, a similar position is typical for other Western majors. At the same time, the announcement of BP's exit for Rosneft was a surprise, and given the successful thirty-year partnership, this action was not justified and was not dictated by the commercial interests of the British company and its shareholders.

It should be noted that Russian business has brought BP $36 billion in revenue since 2003 with only $10 billion. total investments. "At the same time, even against the background of the seizure of Russian gold and foreign exchange reserves and the expropriation of Gazprom's foreign assets, Russia does not create obstacles to the continuation of the activities of foreign companies, for example, in relation to dividends sent to BP," Sechin said. .."

The Climate Partnership and the Moscow Exchange will support the carbon units market

The Moscow Exchange signed a memorandum of commitment to the principles of the Russian Partnership for Climate Conservation (RPSK) at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum. The parties will join efforts to develop the carbon units market.

RPSK unites the efforts of Russian business and the expert community to prevent climate change. In turn, the Moscow Stock Exchange has been building the infrastructure for the formation of a low-carbon economy for several years: in 2019, the Sustainable Development Sector was created to attract financing for ESG projects, and since September 2022, trading on the carbon units market began. This provided Russian companies with a mechanism to reduce the carbon footprint when implementing climate projects and at the same time the opportunity to monetize them, said Yuri Denisov, Chairman of the Board of the Moscow Stock Exchange.

"This year, for the first time, we approved an Environmental Policy that fixed the principles, objectives and priorities of the Group's activities in the field of environmental protection and nature management. Participation in the partnership will allow us to take our work to a new level and will contribute to greater involvement of Russian business in projects to reduce environmental impact and prevent climate change," he said.

"The partnership is a platform for interaction between companies that strive to be at the forefront of the climate agenda," said Olga Sanarova, Chairman of the Organizing committee of the RPSK. – The Moscow Stock Exchange is already known for its active actions aimed at developing the market of carbon units in Russia and creating an appropriate infrastructure. We are confident that the exchange will be able to bring new ideas, experience and resources to the partnership's activities."

The partnership provides an open platform where experts share their best practices, for example, in the field of climate projects, come to common decisions, weighing all arguments, she noted. "According to the growing attention of Russian business to the topic of climate change, we see that such a format of interaction is in demand," Olga Sanarova added.

The climate partnership was established in 2015, at its origins were such companies as Oleg Deripaska's En+, RusHydro, Ingosstrakh, Rusnano, Sberbank. Now there are more than 40 participants in the partnership. Representatives of the association regularly participate in international and Russian climate discussions, including UN Conferences on climate change. The partnership itself has held more than 50 events with the participation of representatives of government, business, and the scientific community dedicated to practical aspects of climate regulation and stimulating companies to reduce their carbon footprint.

One of the promising tools of decarbonization are climate projects – measures to reduce emissions or increase the absorption of greenhouse gases, the result of which is expressed in carbon units. The initiator of the project can sell them or set them off to reduce their carbon footprint. For the development of this market in Russia, a legislative framework has already been created, the first methodologies of climate projects have been published, the first carbon units have been registered in a special register."

"We will not take away a smartphone from children": the development of computer games in Russia was evaluated at the SPIEF
June 16, 2023

At the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF-2023), experts discussed the prospects for the development of digital technologies and cyber-physical formats of games, as well as Russian esports. The task of these directions is to show children and parents new and safe opportunities of the digital world.

Dmitry Peskov, Special Representative of the President of Russia for digital Development, director of the Young Professionals direction of ASI, noted that many modern children grow up with a sense of a clear separation of the "boring" physical world, where there is a school and parents, and a virtual one, which you can go to just by picking up the phone, "and there will be a completely different life". Neither parents nor the state as a whole understand what is really happening in the digital world, and this often leads to conflicts.

The new big challenge is to unite the physical and digital space, the expert added, and to give "a civilizational response to the cultivation of digital addiction in people."

"Games are digital drugs offered by the largest Western corporations today. The more a person plays, the more he donates, the greater the income of the corporation. And their task is to make sure that you donate incessantly, because otherwise you are not cool," Dmitry Peskov said.

"We will not take away a smartphone from children. But the idea arose to use the game that they are so passionate about, so that they work with information for their own development. That is, to create a new game that would interest children and would work for creation. I came to the Agency for Strategic Initiatives with this idea," said Gennady Bukaev, General Director of Rosneftegaz JSC.

Dmitry Peskov noted that in addition to combining physical and virtual space (there is already such an experience, for example, the "Pokemon fishing" popular at the time), it was important to fill the game with socially approved meanings for all its main customers.

"Children should feel good in this space, parents should understand that there is nothing terrible in the virtual world, and the state should see the benefits, that is, the space for obtaining skills that would be maximally applicable in further career building," the expert said.

To do this, in 2023, a team of Russian developers launched the world's first National Cyberphysical platform "Den" – a project for the mass involvement of children in technological education through mobile games.

The platform is cyber-physical, as it includes not only the mobile game itself with programming tasks, but also regional networks of circles and engineering competitions, participation in which will help users reach a new level. For example, during the game, the user will be offered to construct a copter in the nearest technological circle. Then this copter will appear in the virtual space.

Bashkiria became the pilot region for the implementation of the project. "We have made a self-replicating platform where talented guys themselves invent history and bring something new to it. It is important for us through this platform to break the stereotype that Bashkortostan is only oil. There are a lot of talented guys and breakthrough technologies in our republic. We have created a product that we will replicate, critically comprehend and involve children in it," said the head of the republic Radiy Khabirov.

He also noted that foreign games formed a certain militant emotional world of Russian children, while in the "Den" the characters are kind. "Our heroes are not evil, but talented and sympathetic bears," the head of Bashkortostan added.

The student will be able not only to transfer his achievements in the real world to the game world, but also to convert them into additional points for the Unified State Exam. All the student's successes are celebrated on the platform of the NTI "Talent" Circle Movement, integrated with the "Den".

According to Dmitry Smith, the president of the Russian Computer Sports Federation, such a digital portfolio can be a plus for further employment.

"Olympiads, programming competitions are involvement in the profession through competitive motivation. And we formulate a task for the federation to create such a career elevator. When it is written in your resume that you are a master of sports in programming, the employer immediately understands that you are already worth something as a professional," Dmitry Smith believes."

The SPIEF reviewed models of Russia's sovereign development until 2040
June 15 , 2023
"...
The main metaphor today is the border, the border state. The expansion of borders, the discovery of a new one – this is how the world will experience the next twenty years. The most interesting thing here is when some borders collide with others and cease to be themselves. We found a very important thing - we were looking for where technology becomes an economy, economy becomes demography, demography becomes geopolitics? This transformation is taking place at these very borders," Dmitry Peskov, the moderator of the session, director of the Young Professionals direction of the ASI, special presidential representative for Digital and Technological Development, said at the beginning of the session.

Andrey Bezrukov, President of the Association for the Export of Technological Sovereignty, speaking about the expansion of Russia's borders, said that it is important for our country to establish market relations on the Eurasian continent. In order for resources to move, it is necessary to develop communication and communication networks, transport, logistics and pipeline infrastructure. If the BRICS and SCO member states are able to work out fair rules of interaction between themselves and other states, this will guarantee the economic development, stability and security of the region, Bezrukov said.

"We are a mediator between China and India, Turks and Iranians, Israel and Saudis. We have a chance to make our country the safest in the world, the most secured with key resources. 2024 is the year of our presidency in BRICS. It is necessary to turn the BRICS into an economic, financial, technological force, and use the BRICS countries to build their own techno-economic bloc, where there will be a common intellectual property. We need to start building financial systems based on new general principles, sovereign critical infrastructure, new operating systems, common projects on artificial intelligence, bioeconomics, space, and energy," the expert stressed.

According to him, the world is entering a new technological cycle, thanks to which the economic base and social system will change.[...]"

In general, we will develop clean technologies in order to achieve the set goals for the environmental modernization of enterprises, reduce harmful emissions into the atmosphere, especially in large industrial centers. We will also continue to work within the framework of closed-loop economy projects, "green" projects and climate conservation, which I discussed in detail here at the forum last year.

[...]We need to build all spheres of life at a qualitatively new technological level and at the same time be not just users of other people's solutions, but have technological keys to the creation of goods and services of the next generations.
...
[...]Many Russian solutions for artificial intelligence and big data processing are the best in the world.

I repeat, technological development is a cross–cutting direction that will determine not only the current decade, but also the entire XXI century. We will discuss in detail the topic of building a new technological economy – techno–economics - at the next Strategic Development Council. There are many topics for discussion, and most importantly – for making managerial decisions. I am referring to the development of engineering education and the transfer of scientific research into the real economy, providing financial resources for fast-growing, high-tech companies. We will also discuss the development of end-to-end technologies and the progress of digital transformation projects in individual industries.

I emphasize that it is, of course, impossible to produce anything and everything, and it is not necessary. However, we need to have all the critical technologies in order to establish our own production of any product in a short time, if necessary. This is exactly what we did when we quickly secured the release of coronavirus vaccines, and now we have launched the production of many other types of products and services.

A regional social standard will be introduced in St. Petersburg
June 15, 2023

St. Petersburg has joined the project of the Agency for Strategic Initiatives (ASI) on the implementation of the social standard. The standard is one of the elements of the National Social Initiative. It includes 13 points based on successful practices that allow to increase the level of satisfaction of residents with the quality of social services. The corresponding agreement was signed at the SPIEF by ASI CEO Svetlana Chupsheva and the Governor of St. Petersburg Alexander Beglov.

"Together with experts, we have developed such a recommendation document for the regions – a list of projects and practices in which we are confident, which have already shown their effectiveness in individual subjects and can be applied throughout the country. About 40 regions are participating in the pilot implementation of the standard, and we are very pleased that St. Petersburg has joined us today. Despite the already well–developed social support system, the city is ready to launch new tools and services, to make the work of the social sphere even simpler and more understandable for people," Svetlana Chupsheva said.

"The developments and recommendations offered by the Agency for Strategic Initiatives are important for St. Petersburg. We have assessed the readiness of the city to implement elements of the standard. The comprehensive system of social protection services we have created, which we provide to citizens, includes all the necessary provisions," Alexander Beglov added.

A number of points of the document are aimed at making the process of receiving social services seamless. For example, a mandatory element of the standard is the creation of a service of social coordinators who provide assistance to residents in a single window mode, while using the resources of the state, business, charitable foundations and non–profit organizations. The standard also includes the development of a system of regional service commissioners (RCS), whose task is to make the interaction of a person and social services as clear and simple as possible. There is a navigator for support measures that a person can count on, depending on their life situation and family status.

The first step in implementing the standard will be a self–assessment of the region, that is, an analysis of which elements of the proposed items need to be created from scratch, and which are already working - in this case, their effectiveness will be checked in the subject. The assessment will be carried out by the regional administration and an independent expert group, which will include representatives of health, education and social protection, NGOs, social entrepreneurs, as well as the recipients of social services themselves.

Due date: 2023.

Relevance of the study: The problem of preserving, strengthening and improving the professional health of the working population of the country is currently very relevant and significant.[...The rationale for the implementation of research consists in the need to develop a fundamentally new methodological (medical, socio-economic and informational) approach to the formation of a mechanism for managing a set of measures to preserve, strengthen and improve the professional health of the working population of the country. For the first time, the causes of cases of disability of workers (men and women) at work, measures to prevent and reduce them, as well as the economic feasibility of their implementation will be considered from a systemic, interdisciplinary perspective in the pre-pandemic, pandemic and post-pandemic periods. This will make it possible to form a number of new recommendations and proposals for improving both the medical provision of the working population of the country and the labor protection system against the background of preserving the professional health of workers and increasing their productivity. From 01.01.2022 in accordance with the order of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation dated November 23 , 2021 . N 1089n "On approval of the conditions and procedure for the formation of disability sheets in the form of an electronic document and the issuance of disability sheets in the form of a paper document in cases established by the legislation of the Russian Federation", the disability sheet is formed in the form of an electronic document, except in certain cases [...] The relevance of this problem from the point of view of the main strategic and program documents The Russian Federation is defined by Goal 3 in the field of sustainable development concerning "Good health and well-being" and established by the UN in 2015;[...]

The main fundamental and applied problems solved in the framework of the study:

1. Analysis of the existing situation with the organization of work of large industrial companies in our country and abroad to prevent the occurrence and reduce the number of cases of disability of workers (men and women) due to various reasons in the pre-pandemic, pandemic and post-pandemic periods.
..
4. Formation of an automated monitoring system for the causes, structure and dynamics of the number of cases of disability of employees of large industrial companies.

5. Development of a set of organizational, legal, methodological, technological and informational recommendations and proposals to reduce the number of cases of disability, the total number of days of disability and the frequency of diseases, injuries of employees of large industrial companies in the pandemic and post-pandemic periods."

Trends and transformational changes in the directions: developments related to an orderly increase in the efficiency of the basic tasks of the market with the use of end-to-end technologies, the introduction of products to the market, applications and obtaining intellectual property rights, attracting financing for startups.

The increasing digitalization of all aspects of human life leads to the emergence of an increasing number of digital platforms (super applications) for the provision of services; the development of communications via the Internet, using various wearable devices leads to the need to create new human-machine means of communication.
...
5) "Neurocommunications and marketing"

Today, the market of neuro-communication is in the process of formation. There are no comprehensive solutions in the world that allow for a full-fledged analysis of the process of perception by the consumer (user) of an ever-increasing information flow. At the same time, such information is needed, for example, for marketing research, the development of the film industry, political and social research, the creation of television content, independent projects (DYI), design, advertising.

By 2035 , the following products are projected to appear on the neuromarketing market:

automated systems for calculating neurometrics and systems for analyzing categories of states based on neurodata;

prototypes of cheap scalable systems for removing neurometrics (boxed solutions);

wearable devices for automatic detection of emotional status;

decision support systems;

human – pets communication systems;

neurocommunication systems "man–man", "man–machine", "man–society";

decision-making forecasting systems, social neural networks.

6) "NeuroAssistant"

The predecessor of the NeuroAssistant market is the market of the very first intelligent virtual assistants designed to understand the current needs of the user and search for solutions on the Internet, cloud services. The virtual assistant market covers the B2B and B2C sectors.

By 2035, the virtual assistant market will be a multi-level network of interacting intelligent services.

All together, electronic assistants will be part of the "global secretariat", minimizing all transaction costs for finding services, goods, personnel, coordinating the interests and personal schedules of employees and business partners. In these developing areas, there will be a tendency for a rapid increase in neuromorphic computing algorithms and
architectures.

The transition from the predecessor markets to full-fledged segments of the neural network market can be carried out provided that the relevant technological barriers are overcome and the action plan is successfully implemented (section VI). The existing competitive advantages (scientific and technological background and experience of companies), as well as the experience of developing the IT market in Russia, indicate the possibility of implementing an innovative scenario for the development of the neural network market. Among the barriers facing the emerging market, it is worth noting not only scientific, technological and infrastructural, but also ethical restrictions that will be overcome if successful implementation of measures aimed, among other things, at popularizing the neural network market.

"Neyronet/Neuronet (English NeuroNet, NeuroWeb, Brainet) or Web 4.0 is one of the proposed stages of the development of the World Wide Web, in which the interaction of participants (people, animals, intelligent agents) will be carried out on the principles of neuro—communication. According to forecasts, it should replace Web 3.0 approximately in 2030-2040.

History
The ideas on which the concept of the Neural Network is based date back more than a decade. First of all, we are talking about the possibility of enhancing human intelligence by analogy with the increase in physical strength, voiced by William Ashby in "Introduction to Cybernetics" (1956), and then developed by Joseph Licklider in the article "Human-computer symbiosis" (1960) and Douglas Engelbart in the report "The Addition of human Intelligence: a conceptual framework" (1962) to the concept of the exocortex — an information processing system external to humans. In 1973, in the article "Towards a direct connection between the brain and the computer", Jacques J. Vidal first used the term neurocomputer interface, and in 1998 Phillip Kennedy and Roy Bakay from Emory University in Atlanta implanted the first such an interface to a patient named Johnny Ray.

Secondly, we are talking about the prospect of the emergence of a global brain, the idea of which goes back to the collection of short stories by H. G. Wells "The World Brain" (1936-1938). A little later, Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, developing the idea of Eduard Leroy about the noosphere, formulated in the "Phenomenon of Man" (1938-1940) the concept of the Omega point — the moment when the whole set of human consciousnesses will form into a higher consciousness. Valentin Turchin in the book "The Phenomenon of Science: A Cybernetic Approach to Evolution" (1973) introduced the concept of the quantum of evolution — a metasystem transition. As a result of one of these transitions, it will be possible to physically integrate individual nervous systems with the creation of potentially immortal human super-beings. The first scientific publication on the topic was an article by Gottfried Mayer-Kress and Kathleen Barczys "The global brain as a structure developing from a worldwide computer network, and the consequences of this conclusion for modeling" (1995). Since 2013, there have been experiments on the possibility of direct communication from brain to brain (Sam A. Deadwyler et al., Miguel Pais-Vieira et al., Carles Grau et al., Rajesh P. N. Rao et al.).

In 2011, the well—known creator of neurocomputer interfaces, Brazilian Miguel Nicolelis, in his book Beyond boundaries: the new neuroscience of connecting brains with machines - and how it will change our lives, proposed the word "Brainet" for the name of the future brain network. The term "neuronet" (English neuronet, neuro-net) was originally used to refer to artificial neural networks.

A new understanding of it as the name of the next generation of the global communication network after the Semantic Web began to take shape in Russia starting in 2012. In particular, in this sense, the Neural Network was mentioned in November of that year on polit.ru, and in March 2013 in an article of the Russian Reporter magazine devoted to the activities of participants in the Russia 2045 movement, with reference to the American futurist Raymond Kurzweil. Speaking at the TED conference in February 2005, Kurzweil predicted that by 2029 man would begin to merge with technology. And during a speech at the DEMO conference in Santa Clara (California) in October 2012, he talked about the future expansion of brain capabilities through cloud computing, that is, about the exocortex. In August 2013, the term Neuronet was voiced by Pavel Luksha, professor of the Moscow School of Management "Skolkovo" at the Foresight Fleet conducted by the Agency for Strategic Initiatives (ASI), as well as during presentations of the results of the foresight project "Education 2030".

On October 16, 2014 at the office of the Russian Venture Company (RVC), an expert seminar "The Neuronet Roadmap" was held with the participation of Stephen Dunn, director of Starlab Neuroscience Research; Karen Casey, creator of the Global Mind Project; Randal A. Kuhne, CEO of the Science Foundation Carboncopies.org and the founder of NeuraLink Co.; Mikhail Lebedev, Senior Researcher An employee at the Neuroengineering Center of the Department of Neurobiology at Duke University Medical Center (M. Nicolelis Laboratory); Evgeny Kuznetsov, Deputy General Director of RVC. The seminar was conducted by the co-founders of the Russian Neuronet Group Pavel Luksha and Timur Shchukin, as well as the head of the RVC Innovation Ecosystem Development Service Georgy Gogolev.

Neuronet (NeuroWeb) will become the next generation of the Internet /Vladimir Mitin 17.10.2014/
Many participants of the international seminar held last night on the territory of the Russian Venture Company (RVC) are sure of this.
And Pavel Luksha, Ph.D. in Economics, professor at the Skolkovo Business School, Director of Global Education Futures, one of the co-founders of the Russian Neuronet Group, is most confident in this.
In his opinion, the possibilities of the current Internet are very limited. In particular, they do not allow direct transfer of life experiences and emotions from brain to brain. The Neuronet will allow you to raise the quality of communications to a whole new level.
In addition, it will dramatically increase the efficiency of teamwork and open up new opportunities in the field of training.
Pavel Luksha [on the photo] believes that in the modern world, many problems arise due to the fact that people cannot agree with each other on the joint use of certain resources. The Neuronet – through the organization of a kind of “collective mind” - will help to solve these problems.
Neuronet is the same as the World Wide Web. Only its “nodes” are not smartphones, tablets and laptops, but human brains “plastered” with inclusive or non-inclusive electronics

On behalf of the ASI [Agency for Strategic Initiatives], the group "Designers of Communities of Practice" prepared a report on future neural markets. On July 1, 2015, the first report on the National Technology Initiative (NTI), a long—term program that should ensure Russia's leadership in global technology markets by 2035, was presented to the President of Russia. The day before, in May of the same year, Neuronet was present among the 9 NTI markets discussed during the next "Foresight Fleet". ASI and RVC should conduct an examination of the NTI roadmap for the Neural network market and coordinate it with federal executive authorities by January 1, 2016.

Inefficiency of communications
The first prerequisite is the discrepancy between the high potential of the human brain and the state of those organs that are responsible for the information exchange of a person with the external environment. On the one hand, the brain is much more efficient than a computer: for a complete simulation of the brain, a supercomputer is needed that consumes approximately 12 GW, while the power consumption of the brain itself is only about 20 watts. On the other hand, the brain is used inefficiently, as evidenced by human communication errors (noises) caused by various reasons (physiological, psychological noises, semantic and socio-cultural barriers). An important barrier to perception is an undeveloped picture of the world, explained by a lack of experienced knowledge. According to Pavel Luksha, the quality of communications would increase if it were possible to transfer life experience from brain to brain directly (this proposal corresponds to TRIZ's idea of an ideal end result). The quality of decision-making would also increase if a special device amplified the signals of the brain's "error detector" when an emotional state prevents a person from catching them. Special mention should be made of communication errors caused by speech: in the philosophy of language, there was even a direction of linguistic skepticism (Hugo von Hofmannsthal), which denied language the ability to express.

One of the reasons for the demand for improving the efficiency of brain interaction with the external environment is the need to prevent and eliminate the consequences of diseases. Thus, mental stress on a person is growing, as a result, the level of losses of the European Union from depression exceeded 300 billion. euro per year. Europe spends another 600 billion euros annually on the treatment of diseases of the central nervous system. In Russia, over the period 2000-2012, the number of children aged 0 to 14 years with a newly diagnosed neurological disease increased by 33.5%. Therefore, the development of screening devices, including those based on neuroengineering, neuroprosthetics methods is inevitable. At the same time, it is possible that electronic implants will allow disabled people to overcome traditional boundaries of perception: for example, to acquire night vision. This advantage of neuroprostheses may be of interest to the military and sports medicine.

_________________________
Technology development
In attempts to create a computer whose device efficiency would be closer to the brain (neurocomputer), it is inevitable to perform work on mapping the brain (English) in Russian, which is already being implemented in a number of international projects. The appearance of such a map will allow creating artificial channels of direct interaction with the brain as a side effect.

The expected appearance of such a part of Web 3.0 as the Internet of Things should have no less consequences. It will lead to the emergence of communication between things united in sensory networks. Future communications will inevitably become anthropocentric, due to at least the well-known concept of organoprojection (German: Organprojektionsthese), that is, their goal will be to build a certain individual space around a person. Such a goal will force a person to hone interfaces and data transfer protocols that are convenient for communication with things, configured to identify human individuality. The very fact of the possibility of communication of things (the future state is called a reasonable environment resembles the revival of matter (see hylozoism), from which only a step remains to the complete fusion of man with nature by transferring consciousness to artificial media (see digital immortality). The developments of the Internet of Things will create a technical foundation for the transition to the Neural network.

Evolutionary challenges
A number of thinkers develop the idea that in the 1st half of the XXI century, humanity will be at the point of bifurcation. For example, the warning of the founder of the Budapest Club Erwin Laszlo on the upcoming macro shift: the hypertrophied ecological footprint and social inequality bring the world to the moment when either a social collapse will occur (see also the death of humanity), or the metasystem transition promised by Valentin Turchin. In fact, the concept of singularity also speaks about the global transition. A common place is also the criticism of the substitution of traditional values by the standards of consumer society, which incite base motives in a person. Finally, the concern of philosophers is the risk of an uprising of artificial intelligence. An interesting variation on the topic of this risk was voiced by Sergey Sergeev, Doctor of Psychological Sciences: The World Wide Web is a complex system, and such systems are self-organizing. How the self-organization of the Network will affect a person is still unknown.

According to David Dubrovsky, Doctor of Philosophy, overcoming the accumulating global problems is possible by continuing anthropogenesis in one of two ways: either by changing the biological nature of man (eugenics), or by striving to embody reason in a non-biological self-organizing system. The second way seems preferable to Dubrovsky. Transhumanists Alexander Laurent see this path in the creation of a neural community as a carrier of the global brain. Jules de Rosnay (fr.) rus. in the book "L'Homme symbiotique" (1995), he suggested that the formation of a superhuman planetary consciousness would be possible only if there was a direct connection between brain activity and high-speed computer networks.
______________
Main Features
Main article: Neurocommunications (https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Нейрокоммуникации)

According to the definition of the Brainet, which is adhered to by the team of the laboratory of M. Nicolelis, it is a network united using direct brain-brain interfaces, consisting of the brains of many animals capable of interacting and exchanging information in real time, thereby forming a new type of computer devices — an organic computer. This definition is close to the concept of "weak Neural network" proposed by Anatoly Levenchuk (by analogy with strong and weak artificial intelligence).

Mainly in Russia, a Neural network is understood not as a new kind of computer, but as a future communication environment that will unite human (and not only) minds, collectives and intellectual agents on the basis of neurotechnologies, allowing them to exchange thoughts, feelings and knowledge contained in the inner world of participants (including implicit ones). The network package will be based on the principle of direct informational influence on brain centers, bypassing the senses. To build such a network, it is necessary to solve the problems of understanding the brain, creating special interfaces and network protocols."

Expected stages of development
Ideas about the stages in the development of the Neural network differ for obvious reasons. So, according to M. Lebedev, connecting the brain to global networks will be available to rich people by 2020, in another 5 years the Neural network will become a publicly available commodity, and by 2030 this topic will already lose scientific interest. From the point of view of Maxim Patrushev, Director of the Chemical and Biological Institute of the Baltic Federal University, the Neural Network will replace the Internet by 2035 at most. Raymond Kurzweil promises a hybridization of thinking after 2030. Hans Moravek expects the human brain to be connected to an artificial apparatus at the time of the technological singularity in 2045.

In Pavel Luksha's presentation at the expert seminar "Neuronet Roadmap" at RVC in October 2014, three stages were identified on the way to the Neuronet: 1) Biometrinet (pre-Neuronet) — from 2014 to 2024; 2) the origin of the Neuronet — from 2025 to 2035; 3) the emergence of a full—fledged Neural Network - after 2035. The stages of the formation of the Neural Network proposed in the report on neural markets developed for ASI are considered below. ...."

"As a result of today's meeting, I would like to emphasize that the neurotechnology market today has great potential and influence on numerous sectors of the economy — from the obvious medicine to the completely non-obvious entertainment sphere. And given that neurotechnologies are included in the list of end—to-end technologies that will focus on the development of the Russian economy in the coming years, the need to expand and diversify this direction will only increase," the Deputy minister concluded.

During the meeting, the participants presented their developments and proposals, including:

- solutions for overcoming post-Covid disorders of the central nervous system,
- research of the potential of the introduction of neuroprofiling and neurobioadministration to improve the educational process in universities,
- solutions for overcoming post-traumatic syndromes associated with special operations,
- technological developments using neurotechnologies for people with impaired hearing and vision: "Robin", "Elvis" and "Charlie",
- solutions for training drone operators and studying the stress level when controlling drones,
- research results and stages of commercialization of the Russian innovative drug "Aviander". It is intended, among other things, for the treatment and rehabilitation of participants and veterans of the SMO [Special Military Operation], residents of new regions.

The meeting participants discussed the key results of seven years of industry activity. Andrey Ivashchenko, co-chairman and leader of the Neuronet working group, Chairman of the Board of Directors of HimRar Group, said that since 2016 at least 500 projects in the field of neurotechnology have been implemented, over 10 billion rubles have been attracted, a community of 1.6 thousand participants has been formed and strengthened. According to the forecasts of the Infrastructure Center "Neuronet 3.0", by 2025 the total volume of all segments of the industry will grow to 345.1 billion rubles."

Hardware and software complex for multimodal recognition of emotions and cognitive load

The complex collects data on the activity of the central and peripheral nervous system of a person (through dry electroencephalographs and sensors of skin-galvanic reaction), and also records audio and video recordings of subjects during the experiment. Signals from 8 subjects can be recorded separately at the same time.

What it is used for: the complex is the basic “recording machine” of the Laboratory during research and development.

What is recorded: the complex uses the collected data to recognize the emotions expressed and experienced by the subjects (according to EEG, KGR, facial expressions recognized in the video signal, timbre and content of speech recognized in the audio signal), and the cognitive load experienced by them (according to EEG, KGR and facial expressions), while the data in various The modalities are used for cross-validation, which increases the reliability of recognition. In addition, based on the data obtained, the complex builds higher-level digital constructs (graphs of emotional contagion, thematism models, argumentative fields and ontological maps) depending on the context of the task.

@DavidSon, do you have a dog, a cat? A parrot? Maybe aquarium fish?

If so, I highly recommend one of the Russian human–pet neurocommunication systems, which the creators of Neuronet roadmap predict will appear by 2035.

The products are traditional, they are patriotic and they are anti-globalist.

ASI launches All-Russian project and educational program on adaptation of regions to climate change

June 21, 2023
In July 2023, the modular design and educational program "Adaptation of Russian regions to climate change" will start. It is designed for regions that want to improve their effectiveness in responding to climate change. Leading scientific and educational centers, experts of the climate agenda, as well as specialists in the field of agricultural sciences, construction and energy are involved in the creation of the program.

"Climate changes, the scale of their socio-economic consequences for the country require a timely response. The program participants will have the opportunity to dive into the climate agenda together with experts and develop practical skills for creating and implementing regional climate adaptation projects," said Svetlana Chupsheva, Director General of ASI.

The teams will master the methods of assessing the risks and economic efficiency of climate projects, get acquainted with the best Russian and international practices and adaptation technologies, gain skills in working with climate data sources, and also learn about the available tools for financing adaptation projects. ASI has already conducted similar work in a pilot mode with three regions – the Crimea, the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous District and the Sakhalin Region.

"The interest of Russian regions in the conditions of climate change should not only focus on projects to reduce damage from climate change. We need to learn how to use emerging economic opportunities in new conditions. Of particular importance in this regard is the established interaction of science, business, local residents and the state," added Maxim Evdokimov, Director of the Ecology Division of ASI.

The educational program involves the participation of an expanded composition of management teams, including representatives of regional authorities, public, scientific organizations, and the business community.

The program will last three months and will be conducted in a combined (online and offline) format. The training consists of four modules, including lectures by leading federal and international experts, workshops for the work of regional management teams with mentors.

"In general, we need to move away from the "system of documents on adaptation" and move to a more flexible platform approach, investing in training regional teams, involving the widest possible range of participants in the dialogue on adaptation," says Nikolay Kurichev, Dean of the Faculty of Geography and Geoinformation Technologies of the Higher School of Economics."

Countries and affairs: reglobalization is predicted for the world economy
How will the balance of power of the largest countries change in the 2030s and what place can Russia take in it

By 2035, the reglobalization process will be completed in the global economy. Such a scenario is given in the June report of the Agency for Strategic Initiatives (ASI), prepared by Dmitry Belousov, an economist at the Center for Macroeconomic Analysis and Short-term Forecasting (Izvestia studied it). The forecast means an end to the acute global crisis and the creation of rules of the game between new centers of power, one of which may be Russia, economists believe. To do this, the Russian Federation consolidates the resources of neighboring and developing countries around itself.

Get into perestroika
In the next two years, experts expect the spread of conflict between countries, and technology will become a key factor in the confrontation. And in the next decade, the period of global power restructuring of the world will come to an end. This will lead to regionalization and reglobalization. Such development scenarios are contained in the June report of the ASI (NGO created by the government) within the framework of the Horizon-2040 project. The author of the study is Dmitry Belousov, head of the department of analysis and forecasting of macroeconomic processes of the CMACP.

As noted in the document, the regionalization of production is already underway. This means the concentration of activities at the local level and the development of relations between neighboring States.

On the other hand, this does not happen in financial systems. The United States imposes its rules on others by developing cross-border sanctions, the report emphasizes. For example, Western companies are afraid to work with Russia for fear of secondary restrictions.

Reglobalization implies the end of an acute interstate crisis and the creation of rules of the game between new centers of power, Dmitry Belousov explained to Izvestia.

— The result of the new agreements will be the formation of several spaces that largely provide themselves with resources and military forces, possibly of a coalition nature for the sake of security guarantees. China is already building its innovation system and is trying to lock in the flows of Russian energy carriers," he said.

At the same time, Russia is striving to become one of the centers of power, Dmitry Belousov continued. To do this, it consolidates the resources of post-Soviet and developing countries around it.

It is today that it is important to formulate descriptive models, images of the future, scenarios that will help society successfully pass through the era of change, Sergey Cherkasov, Adviser to the ASI Director General for Strategy, explained to Izvestia. The main goals of the entire Horizon-2040 project are to determine Russia's position in the international arena by this year and propose scenarios for long—term development.

Russia already ranks sixth among the world's economies in terms of GDP, the Ministry of Energy told Izvestia. They clarified that we are talking about purchasing power parity. It is calculated based on the price of the total basket of goods and services in each participating country and shows that the local currency allows you to buy in another state.

— The Ministry of Economic Development helps exporters to reorient to dynamically developing regions and markets, takes measures to strengthen technological sovereignty, — commented in the department.


Digital Finance is active
— Most likely, in the 2030s the world will reach a new equilibrium, which at the same time will answer questions about the settlement procedure in digital financial assets (DFA). This will fix the balance of power and the new economic geography," Dmitry Belousov said.

The study also predicts a boom in DFA and metaverse money in 2025-2027.

The press service of the Ministry of Finance, in response to a request from Izvestia, referred to the words of the director of the Financial policy Department Ivan Chebeskov, who in June said that the volume of DFA in Russia in five years could grow to 5-10% of the entire stock market if barriers in the industry were removed. In his opinion, the development of the sphere is impossible without the use of citizens' money, which lies in crypto assets. According to Chebeskov's estimates, we are talking about 10-15 trillion rubles.

According to Dmitry Belousov, the main issue in establishing the DFA turnover procedure is the impact on settlements in old assets and the subsequent redistribution of operations between banks and countries.

As Alexey Guznov, Deputy Chairman of the Bank of Russia, told Izvestia earlier, it is planned to launch an experiment in conducting cross-border settlements with digital financial assets in Russia. According to him, the government supports the proposal. According to experts, such a system will help in conducting transactions against the background of sanctions and will allow you to remain anonymous, and the risks of external interference will decrease.


The burden of change
Predicting that Russia will become one of the world's leading economies, analysts may be wishful thinking to some extent, says Valery Yemelyanov, an expert on the stock market of BCS World of Investments.

— So far, everything is going to the fact that the Russian Federation will lose economic influence over some former republics of the USSR and will decrease even more in the size of GDP. Even official growth forecasts give stagnation at best," he noted.

In his opinion, two technological standards are being formed now (American and Chinese), which in the future may divide the planet into two incompatible camps. All advanced innovations will reach Russia in the Chinese version adapted to the Russian market, the expert believes.

In order for the scenario with reglobalization to take place, it is necessary to find a replacement for the dollar, but so far there is no alternative to it, said Olga Panina, head of the Department of State and Municipal Management at the Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation. According to the most conservative estimates, the US currency will retain its advantage in the next 10 years, she said.

At the same time, if you look at the use of the dollar in the reserves of central banks of the world, you can see that 20 years ago this figure exceeded 70%, and now it has fallen less than 60%, ACRA CEO and ex-deputy chairman of the Central Bank Mikhail Sukhov said earlier in an interview with Izvestia. The head of the State Duma Committee on the financial market Anatoly Aksakov also drew attention to the fact that the turnover in dollars "in a short period of time" decreased from 70 to 60%.

— Naturally, this process will continue <...>. Therefore, of course, not in one, two years, but in 10 years America as a great financial power can come to naught, — the deputy believes.

In the next decade, Russia will produce 2-3% of global GDP, will occupy a more significant share in global industry, will continue to actively trade with Central Asian countries, China and in some form with Europe, predicts Dmitry Kulikov, director of the ACRA group of sovereign and regional ratings."
