Russia as a Part of the Global IT Market: is There a Chance for a Breakthrough?

Abstract

The global information technology market is growing every year. Russia has great resource potential and a developed material and technical base to become one of the leaders in this area. Now Russia occupies a very modest place in the global IT industry. The situation is gradually changing. The Russian digital industry is growing much faster than the economy as a whole. However, in order to catch up with the leading countries, the IT sector must develop even faster. In recent years, the state has begun to play a decisive role in the economy therefore, the state has been tasked with bringing the Russian digital economy into the ranks of world leaders. This requires significant transformations and changes in the state model for creating a digital economy.
