Inessa BABICH, President of the Association for interaction and development of enterprises «international Business Club «Dialogues»:
«Russia ranks 39th in terms of the level of development of the digital economy. And, unfortunately, these statistics indicate the unwillingness of the population and the business community to improve digital literacy.
The mission of the 129th meeting is to show business leaders and owners that the digital economy is our inevitable future.
It is already necessary to revise the strategic and investment policy to become a leading company in the digital age.»
