Mikhail Mishustin: “Our IT industry has shown strong results. Over the past five years, it has grown at an average annual rate of nearly 28 percent, and its contribution to GDP has almost doubled. Demand for domestic corporate solutions increased by 100-200 percent.”

Mikhail Mishustin’s opening remarks: Good afternoon, colleagues. We are continuing our series of strategic sessions. In his executive order on national goals, the President set the task of converting 80 percent of Russian organisations in key sectors to Russian-made software by 2030. This primarily concerns applied solutions for production and management processes. At the same time, we must achieve digital maturity across the core sectors of the economy.
Today, we will take a detailed look at how this work is progressing, with a particular focus on industry.
Reliable Russian software is
essential for
stable, efficient enterprise operations
– to enhance performance, expand production capacity, and scale up output.
Our IT industry has
shown strong results. Over the past five years, it has grown at an average annual rate of nearly 28 percent, and its contribution to GDP has almost doubled.
In line
with the President’s instructions, the Government continues to provide substantial and systematic support to the sector. Companies benefit from a broad range of incentives and are increasing
the production of competitive products. Demand is growing: over the past five years,
demand for domestic corporate solutions has increased 100 to 200 percent. In some categories, particularly database management systems and cloud infrastructure, sales have grown more
than tenfold.
Of course, sanctions pressure has played a role. Before restrictions were imposed, many enterprises relied on foreign suppliers. But crucially, by the time they exited the Russian market, we had already developed our own technologies, and they are now being adopted on a broad scale.
Today, we are seeing a full transition to Russian software across all segments, from operating systems and user applications to complex, multi-layer corporate systems for managing production and product life cycles.
This shift is being supported by industry-specific centres of competence. These centres were created to bring together leading customers from each sector who already have successful experience implementing digital solutions. With their direct involvement, we are identifying priority areas for the development of Russian technologies and designing projects to tailor them to industrial needs.
There are currently 36 such centres operating, involving over 500 companies, all of which are leaders in their fields. Businesses, developers, experts, and government representatives are working together to ensure that enterprises have access to high-quality, in-demand software. This is a strong example of effective cooperation.
The Government
has backed more than 160 initiatives proposed by these
centres. Grants have been
awarded to 32 of them; the
rest are financed through private investment,
which reflects the serious
commitment of the business community to this national objective.
Colleagues, it has now
been more than two years since the
launch of the first stage of these projects. Today we will thoroughly examine interim results, including the outcomes of 66 projects that have already been completed.
We are
seeing promising examples of organisations fully transitioning to Russian software. Many
of the solutions developed have been successfully tested, are being rolled out, and are
already in use at various companies. Some are still being upgraded. We
will also identify the next wave of initiatives, which will begin later this year.
And of course, we will consider
priority measures to support the integration of advanced domestic solutions into the operations
of enterprises in key economic sectors.
