Panel Discussion

2018 became the year for defining the agenda of digital development. The national program “Digital Economy” confirmed the priorities of transforming public administration and developing cross-cutting technologies. Businesses and state corporations adopt strategies of digital transformation, leaders of digital transformation become new players, artificial intelligence is no longer a novelty and is being integrated in all sectors. But issues related to data management and its regulating policies remain unresolved. Regulatory conditions are hostile to experiments with digital technologies.

2019 may become decisive for reaching the trajectory of rapid digital development. What are the plans of business and the state?

Issues for Discussion:

Digital transition in sectors - goals and objectives
Flexible development methods, data lake, teams of data analysts - Is public administration ready for digital transformation?
CDTO in public administration, state corporations - Is there a common agenda?
How can we become truly “digital” - counterparts and profiles, solutions by data
Regulatory sandboxes: what will the Russian version be?
