Vasily Zudin, Deputy Director of the Center for Global IT Cooperation, delivered a welcoming speech during the plenary session. He presented practical approaches to building international cooperation in the field of digital technologies and promoting Russian IT solutions in the markets of friendly countries.

“The Center for Global IT Cooperation helps domestic companies enter international markets: it analyzes regional characteristics, identifies barriers and growth points, develops promotion strategies, and supports businesses in the process of internationalization. One of the key areas of the Center’s work is digital missions, within the framework of which targeted B2B and B2G meetings are organized, leading to the signing of export contracts and strengthening the position of Russian technologies abroad,” Vasily Zudin noted.

The expert also drew special attention to the fact that the demand for domestic software is growing - the BRICS countries, Southeast Asia, the Persian Gulf, Africa and Latin America are showing particular interest in Russian developments. Among the most popular solutions are products in the fields of cybersecurity, telemedicine, edtech, fintech, and platforms for creating and distributing digital content.

In 2025, the Center will organize business missions to Morocco, Uzbekistan, Egypt, Armenia, Algeria, UAE, Indonesia, Malaysia, India and China.

Since 2022, the BRICS Project Lab has been bringing together students, young scientists and experts to develop project solutions in key areas of cooperation between the BRICS countries. The Center for Global IT Cooperation will continue to interact with proactive youth in this area, forming sustainable partnerships and export channels for Russian IT products.
