During his working visit to Dushanbe, Deputy Prime Minister and Chief of the Government Staff Dmitry Grigorenko met with representatives of Russian businesses developing in the Tajik IT market. The main topic of discussion was the development of Russian IT solutions exports to CIS countries, including Tajikistan. The meeting was held at the Russian Federation Trade Mission in the Republic of Tajikistan.

The meeting with the Deputy Prime Minister was attended by Russian IT and communications companies based in Tajikistan, which have been successfully exporting their solutions for several years. They discussed the specifics of working in the local IT market, the key achievements and challenges they have encountered, and proposed future development directions for Russian companies in the republic.

According to Maxim Maximov, the Russian Federation's "digital attaché" in Tajikistan, the most promising areas of digital cooperation are infrastructure projects to develop communications and data centers. Tajikistan is also seeing a rise in the popularity of mobile apps and QR payments, leading to increasing export potential for Russian financial technology solutions, particularly those using artificial intelligence to personalize customer experiences and improve service quality. Among the promising areas of IT export to Tajikistan, the "digital attaché" noted public administration services and the digitalization of government services. Tajik authorities are also showing growing interest in Russian cybersecurity products.

"The successful operation of Russian IT businesses in the international market confirms the high export potential of domestic solutions. I would like to point out that the quality and competitiveness of these developments are so high that they are not only in demand by private international companies but are already being implemented in government agencies. This is evident in Tajikistan, where Russian developments form the basis of government services for the education sector and the Smart City geoanalytics system. Russian IT businesses have much to offer their international partners. The government recognizes the potential of domestic solutions and is prioritizing the establishment of regular and effective IT exports," noted Dmitry Grigorenko.

Russian IT companies are already operating in the Tajik market, and according to the trade mission, demand for cooperation is growing. For example, the cyberthreat prevention solutions developed by Code Bezopasnosti LLC are in high demand in the country. The company's products have already been implemented in key institutions in the country, including major state-owned banks.

MegaFon Tajikistan is also implementing large-scale joint projects with its Tajik partners. It currently holds a leading position in the local market by subscriber base. The company is developing the country's communications infrastructure: upgrading base stations, installing fiber-optic lines, and launching the latest VoLTE audio technology.

The ERA Group of Companies, founded by Russian entrepreneurs, is also addressing infrastructure issues in Tajikistan. Its main project in the country is the creation of an electronic map of Dushanbe – the first of seven stages of the large-scale Dushanbe Smart City project, scheduled for completion by 2029. It involves integrating the latest digital technologies into the city's infrastructure to provide Dushanbe government agencies with real-time access to city data. Russian developers have already completed the design of the digital system, the development of the software, and the digitization of data from the first city agencies and departments. The next stages will include integrating the system with other public and private sector platforms, as well as conducting regular overflights of the city using surveying drones.

The Wildberries marketplace is demonstrating successful development in Tajikistan, having established a leading position in the digital platform market within just a few years. The company has established a full cycle of cross-border deliveries and logistics, and has also established a network of pick-up points in the country's main cities. By the end of the year, Tajik producers will be connected to the system, allowing them to export their goods to all countries where the marketplace operates.

Marat Khusnullin: Construction of the Center for Innovative Educational Technologies in Artek is nearing completion.

Construction of the Center for Innovative Educational Technologies is nearing completion at the Solnechny camp on the grounds of the Artek International Children's Center. Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin announced this.

"The development of children's infrastructure directly impacts the quality of life of the younger generation. Modern facilities become centers of attraction, where schoolchildren engage in sports, creative activities, and socialize. This comprehensive approach fosters a healthy society and a confident future. Artek is a unique children's center that has remained a symbol of a happy childhood for a century, a place where character is forged, talents are discovered, and lifelong friendships are forged. We are undertaking extensive work to build new and renovate existing facilities at Artek as part of the state program for the socioeconomic development of the Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol. Construction of the Center for Innovative Educational Technologies at Artek is currently nearing completion," said Marat Khusnullin.

The Deputy Prime Minister added that work on the center's building is currently 90% complete. Specialists are currently installing modern technological equipment and furniture. Finishing work and the installation of internal engineering systems are also nearing completion.

The center is designed to accommodate 1,200 students. In addition to classrooms, it will feature rehearsal and performance spaces, an amphitheater, modern workshops and laboratories, a 700-seat multi-purpose auditorium, and much more.

"Currently, construction workers are actively improving the surrounding area. Specialists are creating walking areas with designated areas for team members, completing the street and road network, and landscaping. All construction and installation work on the site is scheduled to be completed by the end of 2025," noted Karen Oganesyan, General Director of the Unified Customer Production and Consulting Company.

Konstantin Fedorenko, Director of the Artek International Children's Center, expressed gratitude to the builders, engineers, and everyone involved for their work, professionalism, and dedication in creating the new center.

"The work has reached the final stretch, and this is a truly significant event for all of Artek. We are creating not just an educational space, but a unique environment for developing talent, unparalleled in Russia. The center will combine cutting-edge classrooms, rehearsal rooms, modern laboratories, and a robust infrastructure for expressing oneself and learning new things. There truly is no other project for children of this scale and this level of equipment in the country today. This is a new flagship that will set the highest standards in supplementary education," said Konstantin Fedorenko.

Order No. 2816-r of October 8, 2025

Order No. 2816-r of October 8, 2025

Improving the economic efficiency and competitiveness of enterprises and companies, preventing cartels, and ensuring equal access to public procurement—these and other objectives are reflected in the National Plan ("roadmap") for the Development of Competition for 2026–2030. The order approving it was signed by Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin. A similar five-year plan, approved in 2021, expires at the end of this year.

The new roadmap consists of several sections dedicated to developing competition both generally and in specific economic sectors—agriculture, information technology and telecommunications, financial markets, healthcare, transportation, industry, trade, and tourism. Particular emphasis is placed on the development of information systems and digital services, which ensure the transparency of business processes and prevent unfair competition.

Thus, one of the objectives of the industry-wide block is the implementation of the Unified Information and Analytical System for Tariff Regulation in the work of regional government bodies overseeing state regulation of tariffs on goods and services. The Federal Antimonopoly Service will be responsible for this work. The deadline is December 1, 2026.

Another industry-wide initiative involves the launch of several new modules of the state information system for the prevention, detection, and suppression of agreements restricting competition (the "Anti-Cartel" State Information System). This goal has been set for the Federal Antimonopoly Service, which is scheduled to submit a corresponding report to the government in January 2029.

Efforts to promote competition in the agro-industrial complex also include the creation of a digital service for selecting agricultural land plots. Its launch is scheduled for 2028. This service is designed to make the land selection process transparent and competitive. The Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Digital Development, the Ministry of Finance, and Rosreestr have been appointed responsible for its creation.

In the field of information technology and telecommunications, the roadmap calls for the creation of a portal containing information on supply and demand for innovative, high-tech products and technologies. Information on the demand for innovations, which should provide a significant competitive advantage, will also be used to develop markets for goods, services, and technologies. The Federal Antimonopoly Service and the Ministry of Digital Development, Communications and Mass Media will prepare proposals for the creation of such a portal by December 2027. Furthermore, the Federal Antimonopoly Service will develop draft laws on antitrust regulation of marketplaces by January 2028.

In the industrial sector, proposals will be developed to ensure equal access for both dealers and independent service stations to information necessary for vehicle repair and maintenance. The Ministry of Industry and Trade, the Ministry of Economic Development, and the Federal Antimonopoly Service will present their proposals in this area as early as October 2026.

Changes to public procurement envisage the completion of the digitalization of procurement appeal procedures for certain types of legal entities. By 2030, it is planned to transition to 100% electronic filing of such complaints, which will greatly simplify the ability of applicants to protect their rights. The Federal Antimonopoly Service, the Ministry of Finance, and the Treasury of Russia are responsible.

Regional roadmaps for promoting competition development over the next five years must be approved by May 1, 2026.

A separate theme of the National Competition Development Plan is international cooperation. This involves expanding ties with the antitrust authorities of BRICS and SCO countries through the exchange of experience and the development of coordinated approaches to antitrust regulation, including in socially significant markets.

Commenting on the approved plan at a meeting with deputy prime ministers on October 6, Mikhail Mishustin noted that the development of competition is a constant focus for the Government.

"It concerns not only increasing the availability of essential goods and services for people and businesses, but also expanding their supply and improving their quality through innovation. Without this, achieving the national goals set by the head of state is impossible," the prime minister emphasized.

The forum will be held on October 9-10 in St. Petersburg.

Dear friends!

Welcome to the Creative Code Russia forum in St. Petersburg.

Our country has great potential in the creative industries. And it is you—the talented and motivated people gathered at this large-scale event—who are its driving force. You generate breakthrough ideas, create innovative solutions, goods, and services that change lives for the better and enhance the country's global competitiveness.

The President has set the goal of increasing the share of creative industries in the national economy by 2030. To achieve this, it is necessary to build effective collaboration between the business community and regional teams. A comprehensive system of management and support for creative industries, taking into account their specific characteristics, must be developed in all Russian regions, and the conditions must be created for everyone to implement their projects and contribute to Russia's development.

I am confident that during the forum you will be able to discuss the most daring initiatives and exciting projects, conclude mutually beneficial agreements, and find answers to pressing questions.

I wish you interesting discussions and new ideas.

M. Mishustin
