Deputy Prime Minister and Chief of Staff of the Government of the Russian Federation Dmitry Grigorenko opened the Russian delegation's participation in the World Expo for Digital Commerce in Hangzhou. Under the Deputy Prime Minister's leadership, the delegation will participate in key events of the international exhibition in the coming days, where it will present its domestic digitalization experience.
In his speech at the exhibition's opening ceremony, Dmitry Grigorenko emphasized Russia's developed and competitive IT sector. "We have our own search engines, social networks, antivirus software, and digital platforms. Nearly 70% of Russian internet users choose a domestic browser to search for information, and our marketplaces and services are used by millions of people daily," the Deputy Prime Minister said.
Over the past four years, Russia has been among the world leaders in e-commerce market growth, with this figure increasing by 30% annually.
More than 10 million people order food delivery or taxis daily through Russian mobile apps.
The country's experience developing a platform economy has also had a significant impact on public administration. The government services portal, which currently ranks eighth in monthly audience among all Russian online services, exemplifies the digitalization of citizen interactions. The portal provides access to over 1,600 services and currently has over 117 million registered Russian citizens—approximately 95% of Russians over 14 years old.
"We are pleased to share our accumulated IT experience with our Chinese colleagues. The Hangzhou World Digital Commerce Expo is becoming an excellent platform for exchanging best digitalization practices. This is important not only for government agencies but also for businesses," noted Dmitry Grigorenko.
The Hangzhou World Digital Trade Expo is a major international platform dedicated to the development of global digital trade, the exchange of experience, and the demonstration of innovative technologies.
