Deputy Prime Minister and Chief of the Government Staff Dmytro Grigorenko instructed the Ministry of Digital Development, Communications, and Mass Media and the Analytical Center under the Government to develop proposals for the creation of a digital platform for the development of data centers. It will integrate a set of services to support the entire data center lifecycle, from construction to commissioning. The platform will help simplify and accelerate the data center creation process and aggregate information on the computing capacity available in the country.

The platform is proposed to include services for selecting land plots and ordering inspections (for example, to check for encumbrances); information on available benefits, the availability of communication lines, the availability of electrical power, and other infrastructure. Furthermore, the creation of a marketplace for data center design and maintenance equipment and services for businesses is being discussed.

The creation of a unified digital platform will enable a transition from the construction of isolated, isolated data centers to the systematic development of a network by bringing together all stakeholders, from businesses to the government, on a single platform. Furthermore, the platform will serve as a single point of information collection on existing data centers, rental offers, needs for additional capacity, and the availability of infrastructure for their construction.

This new approach will accelerate the process of obtaining the necessary data for data center construction, make the process transparent, and reduce construction and commissioning time.

"One of our priorities is the implementation of artificial intelligence. However, this technology requires infrastructure and a sufficient number of data centers. The demand for computing power is rapidly growing. Our goal is to simplify and accelerate the creation of data centers. To this end, we are exploring the creation of a digital platform – a single platform where businesses can obtain accurate information about available sites, the availability of nearby infrastructure, and even order ready-made construction solutions and equipment. For businesses, this means convenient services that simplify the data center construction process. For the government, this means the opportunity to assess the data center market situation and determine the real need for new capacity," noted Deputy Prime Minister and Chief of the Government Staff Dmitry Grigorenko.

According to the instruction, the Ministry of Digital Development and Communications and the Analytical Center under the Government must develop and submit proposals by March 2026. These proposals will be discussed with businesses to develop the most effective platform structure and identify the most in-demand services.

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

On December 10, 2025, a ceremony summing up the results of the "Symbols of Eurasian Integration" competition, organized by the Agency for Strategic Initiatives with the support of the Eurasian Economic Commission, was held in Moscow.

The competition became the first systematic mechanism for selecting projects demonstrating the practical implementation of Strategy 2025 and strengthening cooperative ties between the countries of the Eurasian Economic Union.

In 2025, winners were announced in eight categories. These included projects in transportation, digital solutions, high technology, tourism, and financial services. The initiatives spanned a wide range of areas, from networked manufacturing to new modes of transport and advanced materials.

The State University of Management, as one of the coordinators of the scientific and educational consortium of the Eurasian Network University (ENU), presented the results of its work as part of the alliance and educational initiatives for the development of human capital in the EAEU.

The ESU project was recognized as the winner in the "Human Capital" category. Experts noted the creation of a common educational space among the five countries, the development of joint programs, student and faculty mobility, and the development of human resources solutions for the Union's future economy.

Dmitry Bryukhanov, Head of the ESU Secretariat and Vice-Rector of the State University of Management, emphasized that the consortium's victory reflects the growing need in the Union countries for modern educational practices and management training tools.

The role of the State University of Management in the project phase of integration

The university made a significant contribution by organizing and participating in the 3rd Forum of the ESU Scientific and Educational Consortium, which was held at Osh State University. The forum included strategic sessions, joint meetings, and an international scientific and practical conference aimed at developing scientific and academic initiatives in the EAEU.

It was these developments of the State University of Management that formed the basis of the ESU application, which was recognized as the best in one of the most significant nominations of the competition.

Education, science and technology as a unified system

The State University of Management actively participates in the development of institutional solutions for scientific and technological cooperation among the EAEU states.

In 2025, the university submitted proposals to establish an Association of Scientists, Engineers, and Entrepreneurs, the "EAEU Center for Innovative Technologies." The initiative aims to expand cooperation between universities, research organizations, and enterprises, as well as to implement new projects in technology and scientific research.

This work is fully consistent with the goals of the "Symbols of Eurasian Integration" competition: its focus is on technological sovereignty, startup development, strengthening scientific infrastructure, and the formation of integrated educational standards.

SUM strengthens its position in the Eurasian educational space

The recognition of ESU as the winner of the competition underscores the importance of SUM's systemic educational work. The university plans to expand joint programs, strengthen international cooperation, and promote new scientific and educational initiatives at the Union level.

The State University of Management will continue to work on developing human capital, supporting technological cooperation, and shaping an innovative environment that will shape the future of Eurasia.

BEIJING, Dec. 12 (Xinhua) — Supporters of "Taiwan independence" who have forgotten their roots will inevitably be rejected by the people and condemned by history, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun said at a press conference on Friday.

Noting that Japan established colonial rule in Taiwan for half a century and committed countless crimes there, Guo Jiakun said the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) administration in Taiwan, turning a blind eye to Japan's crimes and the available evidence, shamelessly glorified Japanese colonial rule. -0-
