To compensate for the loss of the foreign market, Russia urgently needs to increase the export of domestic IT solutions to friendly countries; it will be impossible to do this without state support. This is stated in a statement by the Ministry of Digital Development following a business breakfast with industry representatives at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF).

The department offers to supply Russian products to the countries of the Middle East, Southeast Asia, Latin America and Africa. According to the Ministry of Digital Development, it is necessary to introduce the following financial support measures for exports:

The Ministry proposes to organize work to create an “infrastructure of payments for the use of Russian IT solutions.” The Skolkovo innovation center can be involved in this task, according to the Ministry of Digital Development.

“The use of the system of trade missions as a point of attraction and support, the appearance of “digital attachés” in them, which should have a transparent financial motivation from the sale of Russian products and be agreed upon by the business,” the statement says.

In general, the department has identified four blocks on which work should be built: the infrastructure for financial support for exports, the infrastructure for supporting sales, the infrastructure for payments and the infrastructure for international cooperation.

According to the Ministry of Digital Development, in order to implement these plans, it is urgent to intensify work through the Russian Export Center and create a permanent export support working group in the ministry. It is expected that the export support program based on industry proposals will be formed in September.
