There is an opportunity to see what innovations are showcased at the exhibition.
Deputy Minister of Digital Development, Communications and Mass Media of Russia Maksim Parshin pointed out that digital service during the pandemic allowed us to remain effective - to receive services and work remotely. All this, of course, increased telecommunications workload. At the same time, the softening of the tax policy allowed domestic software companies to reach a new quality level.
The official opening ceremony of Russian Week of High Technologies 2020 was also attended by Oleg Dukhovnitsky, Head of the Federal Communications Agency, and Alexander Gorbatko, Deputy Head of Department of Information Technologies of Moscow.
