Dmitry Medvedev took part in Digital Agenda in the Era of Globalization 2.0: Eurasian Ecosystem for Innovation in Almaty, government web page reported.
Speaking at a plenary session, he said, “In our country, the digital program is a national model. It provides for the creation of virtually all components of the ecosystem for the digital economy’s growth. For that, we have earmarked about $30 bln for the next five years.”
As the Prime Minister noted, “Digital integration is a common goal of the Eurasian five. If any of the countries say that they are not ready, they will basically miss out on the opportunity for full-fledged communications with the other countries and will not be speaking the same language with them. Therefore, our progress towards the digital agenda, development of common services and a common communications model must be equally shared by everybody.”
“Since January 1, 2018, our country provided an opportunity for equal access to the software from the states of the Eurasian Union. Copyright holders from the Eurasian Union can register their products in the registry and gain access to our market and participate in the procurement process,” he pointed out.
