Rustam Minnikhanov takes part in plenary session of the sixth Moscow International Forum “Open Innovations”
On October 17, during his working visit to Moscow, Tatarstan President Rustam Minnikhanov took part in a plenary session of the sixth Moscow International Forum “Open Innovations” held at the Skolkovo Innovation Centre.
The forum has been held in Moscow since 2012. It is organized by the Ministry of Economic Development, the Moscow Government, RUSNANO's Fund for Infrastructure and Educational Programmes, the Russian Venture Company, the Innovation Support Fund, the Skolkovo Foundation, and Vnesheconombank.
The forum’s format includes three days each covering a specific area. The first day’s agenda was digital transformation of conventional companies and industries as well as the revolution in management technology. The second day will be devoted to changes in the public administration system entailed by the global digitalisation. The third day will cover the social aspects of the digital economy.
Speaking at the forum, Prime Minister of Russia Dmitry Medvedev, who took part in today’s plenary session, said: “The digital economy today is already a fact of life and it is not imposed by a government order or at the initiative of individual entrepreneurs. This is what surrounds us in the literal and figurative senses. Smartphones, mobile internet, social networking, e-commerce, and electronic payments are all part of our modern lifestyle. Data processing helps predict consumer behaviour, and even to build new business models that transform entire markets, something that was difficult to imagine even 10-15 years ago."
