International Scale and Digital Development Trends: What Awaits Participants at CIPR-2025

Every year, the CIPR business program reflects the main issues of digital technology development in Russia. During the tenth anniversary conference, the participants will not only assess previously adopted decisions and systematize all digitalization achievements for the previous period, but will also reinterpret them and define the national development vector and goals for the next 10 years. Achieving these goals will lay the foundation for establishing Russian digital business as a global technology leader. The ecosystem track of the business program will be Data Economy, and discussions will also be focused on import substitution, industrial digitalization, artificial intelligence, IT personnel and international technological cooperation.

Over the past ten years, Russian technologies have made a powerful leap forward. Reforms, new organizations, national programs — all this has not only changed the IT landscape, but laid the foundation for the future digital economy. As the market grew dynamically, the CIPR Conference has also developed, becoming the main event on the digital agenda that unites business, government and society, and conveys the main values ​​and challenges of the digital world.

Investments, efforts by technology developers, and digital market regulators multiply year by year, accelerating progress. In this context, import substitution serves as a powerful driver for new industrial projects and a critical strategic initiative implemented by the state. On the foundation of comprehensive technological renewal, advanced development technologies are already being established, forming the basis for a new technological landscape in Russian business.

“In early summer, Nizhny Novgorod will once again become a platform for discussing the main trends, problems, and prospects for the development of the information technology industry. In view of the implementation of the new national project Data Economy, such communication is especially relevant. CIPR makes a significant contribution to shaping Russia’s long-term digital development strategy, and we are grateful that the anniversary conference will once again take place in Nizhny Novgorod,” said Gleb Nikitin, Governor of Nizhny Novgorod Region.
