the roadmap of “cross-cutting” digital technology programme “Digital economy” provide direction on the development of Neurotechnology and artificial intelligence until 2024 56.7 billion rubles of budget funds and 334,9 billion rubles from extrabudgetary sources.
the fastest-growing technologies in Russia was artificial intelligence, big data, robotics and sensorics, according to the study of RVC on the basis of which a map of the companies of the digital economy. Moreover, artificial intelligence has become the most popular cross-cutting technology developers in this area are focused every fifth company ensnared in the study. These companies show the highest rate of growth (compound annual growth rate of revenues for the years 2016-2018 – 66%). Another 17% of companies are developing virtual reality technology, in third place was the technology of the industrial Internet (15%).
the leaders of growth were also big data technologies (annual revenue growth of 59%), robotics and sensory (35%). But the patented steel Neurotechnology and artificial intelligence – 2935 patents, most of them were registered in 2018.
As noted in the mers, a relatively low growth rate and the number of participants in other technical fields evidence has not yet been formed infrastructure and demand. Experts believe that, for example, wireless technology can show rapid growth in the deployment of 5G infrastructure.
most of the companies represent the information technology industry and produce software products (63%). A significant group of study participants relates to the industrial manufacturing, engineering, medicine, retail. As for the size of the business, more than half of the companies (60%), developing digital technologies in Russia is representatives of micro-businesses with annual revenues up to 100 million rubles. Small businesses (with revenues ranging from 100 to 800 million rubles) are a little more than a quarter of companies (26%)
Among the developers of digital solutions less than of all medium-sized companies (with revenues of between 800 million to 2 billion) – only 5%. The authors of the study attribute this to the fact that the average business is concentrated primarily on the search of financing for large contracts and retain highly qualified professionals. New technology fade into the background.
To map the experts analyzed the activity of about 400 small and medium-sized companies to create and commercialize products and services based on “pass-through” of digital technology. The study included companies developing quantum technologies, of Neurotechnology and artificial intelligence, technology virtual reality, big data, industrial Internet, wireless technology, robotics and components sensing, distributed registries, new production technologies.
most of the domestic developers of digital technology are export-oriented and consider the domestic market as a priority. This is indirectly evidenced by the fact that only 45% of companies participating in the study have websites in English.
geography study surprises are revealed – most of the developers are concentrated in traditionally strong terms of digital development regions. Half of the companies in Moscow and Moscow region (accounting for 92 billion total revenue), 13% – in Leningrad region (28 billion), 3% – in the Republic of Tatarstan (4 billion rubles), 2% in the Novosibirsk region (9 billion) and Tomsk oblast (1 billion rubles).
the Study showed that we are witnessing the emergence of new markets with active players in the process of scaling – said Deputy General Director of RVC Mikhail Antonov. – New drivers of growth-market digital technology can become a medium size company, in the presence of the stimulus packages of their business, the initiator which can be a state.
