I would like to repeat that the digital economy is not a separate industry.in fact, it is a way of life, a new basis for the development of the public administration system, the economy, business, the social sphere, and society as a whole. And of course, the formation of the digital economy is a matter of Russia's national security and independence, the competitiveness of domestic companies, and the country's position on the world stage for the long term, in fact for decades to come.

The first areas where we believe these approaches should be applied should be healthcare, public administration and smart cities.

For Moscow, the "smart city" technology is not a new-fangled phenomenon, it is a necessity for managing the city. Direct interaction with residents is probably one of the key areas in the implementation of the Smart city program in order to interact with the multi-million population in traditional forms. They are necessary, they must be there, but they are clearly not enough. It is impossible to solve many problems without information technology.
