The priorities of the national digital transformation depend directly on the state's level of technological development. For example, the global goals of the "Data Economy" project are stated as: - independence in developing, deploying and applying IT technologies; - moving entire industries into digital form (economy, social sphere, industry, science, etc.); - modernizing government administration. Achieving them requires a phased approach.
At each step, final goals are formulated first, then intermediate ones, which in turn are needed to define the tasks. _Examples of how NDT targets are broken down_
| Global | Final | Intermediate |
|---|
| Technological sovereignty | Building and developing CIS IT infrastructure | developing domestic software - cloud platforms, operating systems, specialized applications and tools;
relocating production of equipment and components to CIS;
investing in CIS IT development |
| Raising the level of cybersecurity | building an anti-fraud platform that detects and stops fraud attempts in time;
developing unified standards governing cybersecurity across the country;
deploying technologies that improve data security - encryption, two-factor authentication, facial recognition systems, antivirus software, etc. | |
| Scaling IT innovation | financial support for manufacturers through grants, tax breaks and social programs;
rolling out new developments in administrative, law-enforcement, judicial, social, economic and other branches of the public sector | |
All these goals are needed not only to monitor how effectively the national digital transformation is progressing, but also to design specific actions. For example, to attract domestic software and hardware developers, the following measures are required: - financial; - workforce; - legislative; - public. _Ways to incentivize domestic software and IT hardware makers - concrete examples_
| Finance, tax breaks | Training specialists | Legislative regulation | Public measures |
|---|
| Targeted project funding — grants, subsidies, social contracts, etc. | Launching specialized courses, higher-education programs and retraining courses | Quotas for purchasing CIS software and hardware (for example, its share must not drop below 50%) | Cluster cooperation - several enterprises join forces to create a favorable environment for domestic IT development |
| Tax breaks - a low profit-tax rate, deductions, tax holidays, amnesties | Organizing targeted events - seminars, webinars and conferences on key IT issues | A simpler certification mechanism - registering domestic IT products will become easier, attracting developers | Contests, hackathons, quizzes, master classes and other game-based or competitive events |
| Loans on special terms - budget loans, co-financing, etc. | Building mentorship programs - market experts can share knowledge while earning extra income | | |
