Deputy Prime Minister and Chief of Staff of the Russian Government Dmitry Grigorenko paid a working visit to Turkmenistan. The trip resulted in the appointment of a "digital attaché" to promote Russian IT solutions in the country. This specialist is scheduled to arrive in Ashgabat by the end of 2025.
This measure was announced during an official meeting between the Deputy Prime Minister, Deputy Chairman of the Cabinet of Ministers of Turkmenistan Mammetkhan Chakyev, and Minister of Communications of Turkmenistan Khadzhymyrat Khudaigulyev. The parties discussed specific IT projects and prospects for cooperation in the field of digitalization.
Dmitry Grigorenko emphasized that Russia has developed a developed IT sector and has demonstrated steady growth in recent years. Over the past five years, the number of accredited IT companies has doubled and now exceeds 20,000. Furthermore, the country has developed competitive IT solutions with high export potential. These include large language models, search engines, marketplaces, delivery and taxi services, antivirus software, and government information systems such as the government services portal.
To share experience and promote Russian solutions abroad, Russia is developing the institution of "digital attachés." Currently, these specialists work in 19 countries, including China, Malaysia, the UAE, Argentina, Indonesia, and the Republic of Cuba. Their responsibilities include supporting the conclusion and management of export contracts for Russian electronic products, software, and other IT solutions.
"Experience from recent international trips has shown that Russian IT solutions are in high demand not only domestically but also among international partners. We intend to support this interest, and the digital attaché service is one of the tools for effectively promoting domestic IT projects abroad. The appointment of such a specialist to Turkmenistan is a confident step toward strengthening the mutually beneficial technological partnership between our countries," noted Dmitry Grigorenko.
During his visit, the Deputy Prime Minister also gave a lecture to students at the Institute of Telecommunications and Informatics of Turkmenistan. His speech focused on the key challenges and prospects of digitalization.
Dmitry Grigorenko emphasized that, on September 1, Russian universities launched enhanced educational programs to train world-class specialists in information technology and artificial intelligence. A key feature of the new programs is the participation of industrial partners and businesses. As part of their collaboration with universities, companies are sending their employees as instructors, incorporating real-world business cases and practical tasks into the curriculum, organizing internships for students, and participating in assessing students' skills during final assessments.
This academic year, at least 2,400 students will begin their studies in the Top-IT program, and at least 3,800 students in the Top-AI program. The program, which trains highly qualified IT personnel, has been launched at 26 Russian universities, while the program, which trains advanced specialists in artificial intelligence, has been launched at 22 universities. The project includes not only universities in Moscow and St. Petersburg, but also major regional universities.
International students studying at Russian universities can also participate in programs to train highly qualified IT personnel.
