The government has updated the selection criteria for the third wave of particularly significant projects – IT solutions developed within industrial competence centers and aimed at replacing foreign software. Priority grant support will be given to projects with the greatest potential for replication. The government is paying special attention to platform solutions for industrial enterprises, as well as AI-based developments. This was announced by Deputy Prime Minister and Chief of the Government Staff Dmitry Grigorenko, who oversees the development of the domestic IT market, on the sidelines of the Innoprom. Belarus international industrial exhibition.
According to the approved procedure, applications will be evaluated based on 10 criteria, each with a specific weighting, during the selection of particularly significant projects. The most significant criteria, with the highest weighting, are the solution's potential for replication (demand from at least three organizations in one or more industries), projected revenue from sales (at least 110% of the grant amount within three years after development completion), and the feasibility of using the solution at critical infrastructure facilities. Furthermore, a new prioritization criterion is being introduced during the third round of selection: the use of artificial intelligence technology in the solution being developed.
"Three years have passed since the launch of the first selection of particularly significant projects. During this time, we've identified growth opportunities and refined the mechanism to make it even more effective. Specifically, we decided to focus on thoroughly assessing the project's replicability during the preliminary review stage. If a solution has high sales and revenue projections, this is an indicator that it is truly in demand by many companies in the market and will be widely adopted. The government prioritizes supporting projects that are essential to the market," noted Dmitry Grigorenko.
Furthermore, the Deputy Prime Minister emphasized that platform-based IT solutions for manufacturing (for example, PLM systems for managing the product lifecycle from design to production) and automated design systems will also benefit. He noted that the development of indigenous Russian IT solutions for manufacturing processes is essential to ensuring the technological independence of the domestic industry.
A total of 8.3 billion rubles will be allocated to support particularly significant projects during the third wave. The Russian Foundation for Information Technology Development will award grants ranging from 100 million to 2 billion rubles, covering up to 50% of the solution development costs. Applications will be accepted until October 26.
