As Mishustin emphasized, bold and extraordinary initiatives are required that will help Russia achieve a high level of digital maturity in a short time. He also noted the importance of being one step ahead in all key areas of industrial development. “Not to catch up, but to set our own standards for technologies, goods and services,” the Russian prime minister said.

In March, during a speech in the State Duma with a report on the work of the government in 2022, Mishustin declaredthat the Russian government supports the development of domestic software (SW) to achieve self-sufficiency of domestic digital solutions.
