"Discussions at CIPR-2025 revolved around the essential requirements for Russia's tech hub – funding, coastal access, and ample sunlight."
New and Improved: "Komsomolskaya Pravda" at TsIPR-2025's Digital Industry Conference
The spirited 10th anniversary conference of TsIPR-2025 ("Digital Industry of Industrial Russia") has wrapped up in Nizhny Novgorod. With an open radio studio operated by "Komsomolskaya Pravda," tech titans gathered to discuss the future of IT solutions and how AI aids business, import substitution, and Russia's Silicon Valley. Here's a taste of the insights shared.
"Real estate transactions now 6 times faster"
- Being at the forefront of AI adoption, our firm deploys the technology for various purposes, such as moderation. Bot support detects fake ads, fraudulent actions with coded phrases, and takes care of them. We have an assistant that sifts through real estate listings using photos and simple codes, speeding up deals by allowing customers to find suitable properties faster. Real estate, one of the top 4 industries in Russia for AI growth (according to HSE data), witnessed a substantial surge at +30% annually. Joe Public, remember when purchasing homes meant visiting banks, whipping out reams of paperwork, involving notaries, and enduring grueling months? Not anymore! Electronic transactions have revolutionized our market, shaving transaction times to a mere fraction of that exhausting process.*
Elena Kryvyakina, special correspondent of "Komsomolka," and Maria Kelemet, Executive Director of Corporate Relations at CIAN, discussed a new service on Gosuslugi.
Gosuslugi's rental agreement constructor:
This template for a rental agreement empowers property owners to list their essential criteria, like housing specifics, pet policies, and smoking regulations. Simply fill it out and transfer it through Goservices to potential renters. Once they agree to the terms, they can seal the deal in a jiffy using the "Goskey" app. Your contract will then be available for scrutiny in your Goservices account, legally binding both parties.
"Transitioning Database Management Systems"
- Developer Vadim Yatsenko addressed the challenges companies face when shifting to new Database Management Systems (DBMS).*
Initial complexities in migration, especially with Western vendors like Oracle and Microsoft, stem from their all-encompassing solutions that use the database alongside additional applications. Often, customers face difficulties implementing such multi-faceted solutions. Fortunately, the trend is evolving, and new comprehensive solutions allow for replacement. Finally, the hefty databases of the past are being replaced by our very own Russian database machine, boasting high performance—the first of its kind, allowing us to package hardware and software for easy deployment.
The Importance of Russian Microelectronics
The confidence in Russian microelectronics, shaken in 2022, is being revived with a renewed focus on fostering the industry's growth.
Aiming for Russia's Silicon Valley
Dmitry Gachko, founder of ITG Corporation and IT PARK RUS technology park, emphasizes Russia's family-oriented approach to tech, favoring a slower, more careful pace over the cynical capitalist approach favored by American Silicon Valley. Russia seeks a more sustainable model of growth, eschewing rapid closure and aiming for transparency and market protection in the housing rental sector by introducing the Gosuslugi rental agreement constructor.
The Progress of Import Substitution and Digital Sovereignty
Russian startups are eager to vie for global market dominance by capitalizing on their unique offerings, as articulated by Axiom JDK's Director of Strategy and Technology Development, Roman Karpov.
Supporting Russian Software Exports
President of the RUSSOFT Association, Valentin Makarov, advocates for the necessary state support for IT companies to boost their global presence.
We must support our IT companies in expanding their reach, especially in friendly countries, allowing access to an abundant client base, opportunities to develop and refine products, and sustained economic growth. To achieve technological leadership on a global scale, support for software exports is a necessity.
A Growing Market
Participants of CIPR-2025, such as Anastasia Strokova, Commercial Director of R-Style Softlab (RSHB Group), highlighted the increased engagement and interest in comprehensive solutions at this year's event, particularly in artificial intelligence cases.*
Key partners and clients recognize that attending CIBR showcases their commitment to staying abreast of industry trends and fostering valuable partnerships. This year's CIBR was particularly impressive, with a notable emphasis on comprehensive solutions and partnership opportunities.
