World Development Report 2021: Data for Better Lives produced by the World Bank Group studies data governance and challenges faced by the global community in data handling. The report aims to answer two fundamental questions: how can data better advance development objectives and what kind of arrangements are needed to support the generation and use of data in a safe and secure way?

The third edition of the National Report highlights regions with favorable conditions where resources are concentrated for high technologies development, as well as regions that have already succeeded in non-resource sector developing. The global goal of the Report is to identify potential points of non-resource growth of the Russian economy.

Research by Accenture, an ecosystem-based IT consulting firm, reveals additional potential for companies to reduce their carbon footprint by leveraging cloud-based data services.
