Russia is moving to a new economic structure - the digital one. The sooner the regions understand this and realize the benefits of introducing new technologies in every sphere of life, the sooner the quality of life of Russians will improve. This is convinced Secretary of the General Council of United Russia, Vice-Speaker of the Federation Council Andrei Turchak. "Precision farming technologies will increase agricultural productivity. And what is remarkable is that these technologies are available even to the smallest farmer. Blokchein creates new prospects in the financial sphere. Smart contracts will protect people from fraud in many areas. Systems for predicting epidemics and personalization of treatment, intellectual energy networks and. - all this is our future, "Turchak notes in an article published in Izvestia,. However, the introduction of new technologies requires sometimes considerable funds, which not every region has. Therefore, the Council for the Development of the Digital Economy under the Federation Council under the leadership of Turchak at a reception in the Kremlin raised the issue of granting special grants to the regional budgets for digitalization. On behalf of President Vladimir Putin, the Council proceeded to develop a methodology for accounting for the costs of developing the digital economy and calculating subsidies. In turn, the regions should think through their road maps for the development of "figures". They need to provide mechanisms for supporting companies that produce competitive software and hardware solutions, measures to stimulate technological entrepreneurship, steps to develop human capital, and so on.. And all this - taking into account the specifics of the region, its needs, Turchak emphasizes. He is convinced that the goals of digitalization programs should be ambitious, anticipating the development of the market. After all, the success of the development of the digital economy is measured not by the number of bills and events. Consumers of the digital economy are citizens of the country. Therefore, every resident of the Russian Federation must feel the real benefit of "figures" on his own, Turchak is convinced.
