According to her. it is important that research institutes. centers and laboratories. especially non-governmental ones. are not left without state support. because it is precisely in such organizations that the most advanced developments and IT solutions are very often created. but they lack the funds to implement and sell these inventions.
“The “suffering” of domestic vendors.
which often include large corporations operating with at least positive operating profit and EBITDA. must at least be rcs data “divided in half”. if not several times. because it is much easier for such corporations to attract external financing than for small and medium businesses. and especially for non-profit organizations and research institutes.” added Natalia Milchakova.
Deputy Director of the Scientific and Educational Center of the Federal
Tax Service of Russia and Bauman Moscow State Technical University Alexey Ershov believes that. on the one hand. large companies with state participation in the IT industry that have received funding contribute to the large-scale implementation of Russian solutions and the strengthening of technological sovereignty. acting as anchor customers and guaranteeing a sales market for vendors. but on the other hand. such a concentration of resources limits the access of small and medium-sized companies to financing. creating we need to distinguish between the types of pop-ups that exist a risk of monopolization and reducing the innovative potential of the industry.
“In response to this. the state is introducing measures requiring state-owned companies to spend at least 70% of their IT budgets on third-party software. which should stimulate the development of independent high-tech companies and maintain a balance between large and small players.” noted Alexey Ershov.
According to him. supporting fans data customers. not vendors. accelerates the implementation of digital solutions and scales projects. reducing risks for developers. but this. according to Alexey Ershov. can limit innovation. since funding is often directed to “safe” projects. and small vendors become dependent on the requirements of large customers.
