Despite the one‑day format, the business programme of the event is extremely intensive.

Its key element will be individual negotiations between companies, which introduce digital tools, and suppliers of modern IT solutions.

The venue will host expert discussions participated by representatives of major businesses, industry, the financial sector, telecommunications, as well as government and municipal bodies.

«In the modern world, technologies develop rapidly, yet they are not the most important thing. As a rule, the main thing is people. Today’s venue is precisely intended for helping those people who have tasks find those who are responsible for completing those tasks, as well as find some new solutions», said Aleksander Klechikov, Deputy Chairman of the Committee for Digital Development of the Leningrad Region and Head of the Department for Digital Technology Development, during the opening ceremony.

«This format of the event is the most fruitful. I strongly encourage you to find the best contacts that will develop into contracts», noted Aleksey Mostovshchikov, President of the International Association of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs «MOST», and General Director of the ANO «Digital Development Agency».

«I thank everyone who took part in the event, in order to discuss technologies and make them more efficient, more problem‑oriented, and to find opportunities for their implementation so that our lives become more comfortable and production becomes more effective», concluded Nikolay Kozlov, CEO of ExpoForum‑International LLC.

The business program will be complemented by the exhibition of the latest developments in the field of software, information security, artificial intelligence, and process automation.

On the event day, free shuttle buses run from Metro Station «Moskovskaya» to the Expoforum.
