The plenary discussion “Artificial Intelligence: A Driver of IT and Economic Development” generated particular interest on the first day of the forum.

Employees of the Avangard Special Economic Zone actively participated in the discussion. Together with invited experts and industry representatives, the speakers examined AI not just as a technological trend, but as a key tool for economic growth and transformation.

Key topics raised during the discussion:
✅ The implementation of artificial intelligence in business processes, public administration, and the social sphere.
✅ The real economic impact of AI solutions: where technologies are already delivering benefits, and where growth opportunities lie ahead.
✅ Industry regulation: how to establish clear rules of the game so as not to hinder innovation.
✅ Personnel training: who will create and maintain the systems of the future, and how to restructure the education system to meet new challenges.

We are confident that the forum’s rich program will provide participants with a powerful impetus for development—from new partnerships to understanding how to apply cutting-edge technologies tomorrow.
