The
Roscongress Foundation, the Innovation Space project, and the Data Economy
Independent Non-profit Association (INA) continue the Breakfast in the Digital
Realm online discussion series on hot topics of the Digital Economy national
programme in online discussions with state and business representatives. The next
discussion of the series, which will take place on 20 May at 10:00, will
deal with the future of digital technology after the end of the pandemic caused
by the new COVID-19 coronavirus infection.
The growth
of digital technology in 2020 may be bogged down in a tangle of
many-directional factors. Just as in the atypical pneumonia of 2003, when a
boom in e-commerce was recorded, the epidemic of the new type of coronavirus
favours digital transformation across the board, while digital economy under
pandemic conditions is becoming the new driving force of economic growth and
plays an important role in sustaining countries’ revenues.
In
addition, over half of the planet’s population have changed their consumption
pattern once they found themselves quarantined. Cross-industry applications for
keeping infection at bay were found for many digital solutions. This helped to
renew the dialogue on overcoming regulatory barriers. All these factors
undoubtedly opened up new opportunities for growth of digital solutions based
on AR&VR, 5G, robotics, artificial intelligence and other technologies.
Under these
circumstances, the Government of the Russian Federation, formed early in 2020,
that was planning to clarify the objectives and results of the national
programme, including ensuring rapid implementation of digital technologies in
real economy, now has more allies as well as new challenges.
What digital technologies can expect in the near future will be discussed by the participants of Breakfast in the Digital Realm:
- Ivan Bortnik, Advisor to the General Director of the Fund for Assistance to the Development of Small Innovative Enterprises;
- Alexander Galitsky, Managing Partner of Almaz Capital Partners Venture Fund.
Sergey Nakvasin, Deputy General Director and Digital
Technology Director of Data Economy INA will act as the moderator.
