A regional educational forum was held in Dimitrovgrad. Venue: DITI NRNU MEPhI.

Teachers from four neighboring municipalities came to Dimitrovgrad. The Dimitrovgrad pedagogical community also took an active part in the forum. Since the status of the forum is regional, the scope and number of participants were expanded with the help of a teleconference from Ulyanovsk. The plenary meeting was held with the participation of the governor. The head of the city also took part in the forum.

On my own behalf, as the head of the city, I would like to congratulate you on the new school year, and I would like to say a special thank you to the organizers of this forum. This teleconference takes place throughout the Ulyanovsk region. We are now on live television, when everyone sitting in the hall can watch the governor’s speech and this is some kind of progress,” said the head of the city, Alexey Koshaev.

New technologies are now being actively implemented, including in the field of education. Dimitrovgrad was chosen as a pilot site within the framework of the regional project "Smart Region". It’s not for nothing that the educational forum is called “ Smart city - smart education"Most of the reports were devoted to the implementation of modern innovative educational programs.

Acting Governor of the Nizhny Novgorod Region Gleb Nikitin and President of Rostelecom PJSC Mikhail Oseevsky on Friday signed an agreement on cooperation in the implementation of the Smart Region program for innovative urban development.

"Smart Region" is one of the priority areas of the state program "Digital Economy of the Russian Federation". The Nizhny Novgorod region was included in the list of 20 pilot regions of the Russian Federation for the implementation of this project.

According to the information, the parties intend to create conditions for the implementation of comprehensive information solutions in various areas of activity that will contribute to the formation of a modern infocommunication environment, the development of the information society, and safe and comfortable living in the Nizhny Novgorod region.

As part of the agreement, it is planned to develop approaches to transforming state and municipal management systems and integrating them based on platform solutions. In the process of forming the technological model of the Smart Region, new projects will be developed and existing developments introduced into the urban environment will be used.

“In the Nizhny Novgorod region there are a number of projects that have been implemented or are being implemented jointly with PJSC Rostelecom: we are talking about a weight and dimensional control system for transport, a system for photo and video recording of traffic violations, and the Safe City agro-industrial complex,” recalled Gleb Nikitin.

“As part of the agreement, we will implement additional projects, such as informatization of parking spaces, work with energy service contracts related to the modernization of the lighting system, which will subsequently be integrated into a single platform solution,” explained the acting governor.

PJSC Rostelecom noted that the company’s colossal resources are already concentrated in the Nizhny Novgorod region, which make it possible to consolidate regional information systems based on the Smart City platform solution without investing in infrastructure. Among the possible areas of interaction, Rostelecom President Mikhail Oseevsky named the introduction of technologies for remote transmission of information from utility meters and the development of telemedicine in medical institutions in the region.

“This year we completed connecting medical institutions to high-speed Internet. This makes it possible to develop telemedicine, and the Nizhny Novgorod region has a very serious result in this regard,” Oseevsky emphasized.

Currently, the government of the Nizhny Novgorod region and Rostelecom are planning to conduct an audit of the current level of development of informatization in the region and determine priority areas for the implementation of the agreement. The agreement, in particular, defines the conditions for interaction between the parties in solving priority problems in such areas as housing and communal services, creating a comfortable environment for citizens, creating innovative urban infrastructure, digitalization of construction and territorial planning, as well as the development of urban transport systems.

Two years ago, a smart city department was launched at SibGUTI, headed by Dmitry Gokov, widely known in IT circles in the region. The relevance of introducing a “Smart City” in Novosibirsk was also emphasized during the recent visit to the city of Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Maxim Akimov. On the eve of a series of thematic materials devoted to this project, DMITRY GOKOV spoke in an interview with Continent of Siberia about what Smart City can give to an ordinary resident, and what Novosibirsk lacks in order to “get smart.”

– Dmitry Gennadievich, what do you see as the key advantage of a “smart city” over a “non-smart” one?

– In order to understand why this is necessary, we need to look a little into the future. A significant part of development – ​​anywhere: in business, science, public administration – today is based precisely on “digital”. You don’t have to look far for an example: with the development of the Internet, new business industries have emerged on its basis, for example, in the gaming industry alone, income is measured in millions of dollars a day. Digitalization, when properly applied, firstly, increases efficiency, and secondly, creates new services and content that are widely in demand and bring added value.

– So technology determines the future?

– Don’t forget that all this is created by people. If you look at the basics, the size of this added value is determined by the person and his talent. Soon, the basis of competition between different territories will be the struggle for such talents, which, on the one hand, are the creators of smart services and added value, and, on the other, active users of these services. This is an avalanche-like process that feeds on itself, so it is important not only to entangle the region with digital, but also to create a comfortable environment for talented people so that they can feel comfortable, environmentally friendly, and safe. That is, a smart city, in essence, is a tool for competition between territories for minds.

– You say “Smart Region”, not “Smart City”. What are the terminological differences?

– “Smart city” or Smart city is a generally recognized international project; this definition was born abroad, in those countries where the main decisions are made by municipalities, since this is where most of the funds are concentrated. The system is built in such a way that municipalities own the money, so when we talk about a “Smart City”, we need to remember that in Western countries the foundation is the municipality - that’s why we are talking about a smart city. In our country it’s a little different; we have a three-level budgeting model, where the municipal level is at a lower position compared to the regional one. Therefore, if we take into account Russian specifics and geography, a more correct formulation for our country would be “Smart Region”. On the one hand, the project is financed mainly from the regional budget, on the other... I believe that it would be fair to give municipalities, including small ones, full access to all smart city services. In this regard, it is impossible to draw a line between the conditional “village” and “city”, where all development is given to the “city”. Therefore, Russia needs a “Smart Region” and there are already real examples: the Sverdlovsk region is building its own “Smart Region”, and the issue is also on our agenda, in other areas.

– And how, in your opinion, does the Novosibirsk region compare to other regions of Siberia and Russia as a whole?

– I think it looks great. Our region has two huge competitive advantages. The first is infrastructure. At one time, when the regional government began to build its own data centers, communication channels, and so on, this met with strong criticism, including from Moscow. Today it is clear to everyone that to create smart services you need an infrastructure on the basis of which all this is built. And in Novosibirsk it is. Data centers with huge reserves that can be filled for at least several more years. There is also a channel structure: telecom operator channels, administration channels - a distributed environment guarantees traffic at a reasonable price. Not long ago, the deputy governor of one of the regions of Russia came to us for advice on modernization. We ask, is there a data center? No. Are there any channels? No. There is nothing at all. After our conversation, he immediately went to call the city-forming enterprise and negotiate with them, since they had previously proposed to implement such a project. And this is almost universal: many do not understand that if there is no basic infrastructure, no digital miracles should be expected. The second important aspect of the future economy is human resources. Today in Novosibirsk, about two thousand IT graduates graduate every year. These two factors give us a huge advantage - but this does not mean that we have achieved our goal, we have nowhere else to grow. No, we still have a lot of things to change. We need not two thousand IT graduates a year, but at least five times more to meet the future needs of the region.

Deputy Prime Minister Maxim Akimov (left), who visited Novosibirsk, gave a positive assessment of the region in terms of the implementation of IT technologies

– At a recent meeting in Akademgorodok, figures were announced according to which Novosibirsk ranks not third in the country in terms of “digital”, but rather first – in particular, in terms of penetration of broadband Internet access or the implementation of the ERA GLONASS system. How do you assess this in the context of the Smart Region?

– Penetration of broadband Internet access is as key a component of “smart” infrastructure as the availability of data centers and channels. The fact that Novosibirsk is in first place in terms of Internet accessibility is an absolutely accurate fact. As well as the fact that the Novosibirsk region has always been very active in GLONASS: for Anatoly Vasilyevich (Dyubanova, head of the informatization department of NSO - “KS”) The space industry is dear and very close. The pilot project has been implemented and can be scaled up further. Positioning accuracy is a fraction of a millimeter for stationary measurements, and within 15-20 cm for moving objects. In the future, this will make it possible to control many equipment, including agricultural equipment, remotely. There are already prototypes, experiments with unmanned tractors are being carried out, and in about five years this equipment should be operational, including on Siberian soil.

– Dmitry Gennadievich, in Novosibirsk IT circles many consider you the ideologist of the concept of “smart region” and “smart city”. What prompted you personally to do this at one time?

– I appreciated the prospects of this new direction five years ago. I participated in Russian official delegations, where, as part of an experience exchange, we traveled to various cities around the world: Seoul, Singapore, London, Abu Dhabi, Sao Paulo - we studied smart city technologies and other “smart” projects. To be honest, not all of this experience is applicable to us; after all, our conditions are somewhat different: nine time zones, 17 million square meters. kilometers, and most of those countries easily fit into the territory of our region. But we still adopted some elements for ourselves, and since then I have been studying this topic and decided to devote my life to it. If we talk about the meaning of my work, I believe that the competitiveness of a country is determined not by the size of its territory, population or mineral resources, but by labor productivity and technology. If we look closely, we will most likely run into the executive branch - its desired and actual effectiveness differ greatly. Therefore, one of the key tasks of my work is to make it more convenient for citizens to interact with the government, and this is also included in the Smart Region project. If you need an example of what we have already achieved, the MFC information system, which already operates in 20 constituent entities of the Russian Federation. We calculated how many services are provided and how much time is saved. Even if we take into account only those procedures that reduce the time of trips to offices, and take the rest out of brackets, it turns out that more than two thousand man-years are saved per year. The figure is very serious: if people spent this time at work, and not in queues, we significantly increased labor productivity. If you spent this time on your family and friends, you strengthened your families. This is the first contribution of the “Smart Region” to our lives.

A smart city and smart region is, first of all, a platform that implements the key principle of a smart city - the reuse of data and infrastructure.

– How long did it take you to open the smart city department at SibGUTI, and what did you ultimately achieve? Whose contribution was significant - the regional authorities, the leadership of SibGUTI?

– In an ideological sense, the support from SibGUTI was complete. Unfortunately, it was more difficult with budgets, but, nevertheless, the university management perceived everything very well. The regional administration also supported the idea of ​​creating a triangle “science – education – production”: when it arises and universities begin to work in conjunction with innovative companies, the result is a strong synergistic effect. Why did we even do this? Because graduates who come to work in IT companies, for the most part, are completely unprepared for our realities. They can do something, but not at all what we require in terms of quality and level of development. It turned out that companies take people from the market and pay them a salary for six months, spending time on their retraining. It is much more profitable when companies in conjunction with a university prepare students “for themselves” with subsequent employment. This model has proven to be very effective. Now we are also planning a programming school, which will accept not only students, but everyone. The project is under development, included in the regional Digital Economy program, and will most likely be implemented. We have already invited several companies to participate in the project, and together we will adapt existing professions, qualifications and competencies to business requirements.

— In addition to leading the smart city department of SibGUTI, you participate in the activities of the NPPA Association, being a member of its board. Are these projects somehow connected?

If SibGUTI provides the “Smart Region” project with the scientific and personnel components, then the NPPA Association provides the technological component. Let me remind you that the abbreviation NPPA stands for National Platform for Industrial Automation. The word “platform” is key here. In our country, a smart city is often reduced to a pile of some local solutions - a “smart” stop, a “smart” traffic light, a “smart” trash can... But this is not the “smart” of a city. A smart city and smart region is, first of all, a platform that implements the key principle of a smart city - the reuse of data and infrastructure. For example, thanks to the integrating system, the same video surveillance camera can be used by a variety of services and departments for their purposes: to monitor road traffic, to ensure public safety, to control the quality of street cleaning, etc. In the same way, different services can use data from each other’s information systems for their needs. This is what brings real efficiency, ensures accessibility of information and reduces duplication of costs. On the basis of the NPPA Association, such an integrating platform has been developed, it has already been tested in several constituent entities of the Russian Federation, and has every chance of becoming the basis of a “smart region” in our Novosibirsk region.

— What are the next steps to build a “smart region” in the Novosibirsk region?

You need to understand that a smart city is a thing that, firstly, cannot be implemented “from above”, and, secondly, cannot be implemented “in one”. Without the involvement of business and the population in the project, as well as without the collaboration of a large number of different specialists, the business will be doomed to failure. That is why we are creating a working group for the Smart Region Novosibirsk Region project. Professionals from various fields and industries will be invited to participate in it - housing and communal services, transport, telecommunications, education, ecology, security, etc. We hope for a response from companies, experts, public organizations and are ready to offer promising “smart region” projects in many industries.

Informatization and Communications of the Sverdlovsk Region published the construction of the “Smart Region” and invited residents to a public discussion of the document.

The document states that the concept is based on the sustainable development model, according to which “meeting the needs of the present generation occurs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs.”

Model of sustainable development.

A “smart region” is defined in the document as “a territory of innovative development that uses digital technologies to improve living standards, the efficiency of human activity and the competitiveness of the economy, while ensuring that the needs of present and future generations for sustainable development are met.”

Tasks issues to be solved when building a “Smart Region” are as follows:

• “digitalization of the economy and social life of the region (formation of a digital display of the main socio-economic processes in conjunction with the development of relevant information systems);
• creation and development in the territory of the Sverdlovsk region of scientific, technological and production competencies of the Russian and world levels in the field of development of digital technologies and smart services;
• creation in the Sverdlovsk region of globally competitive regulatory conditions, financial incentives, digital infrastructure, mechanisms for stimulating demand for smart services through government procurement and technical regulation mechanisms, an administrative support system for the development and implementation of smart services, as well as supporting technological solutions;
• building effective communications in order to involve business and the population in the implementation of the concept, promoting the Sverdlovsk region as a “smart region” in the field of digital economy at the international and federal levels;
• ensuring information security during the implementation of the “smart region” concept;
• creating a culture of a digital society and training personnel for the digital economy.”

The document examines the “space for the implementation of the concept” (services, technologies; the territorial aspect of the implementation of services; determining priorities for the implementation of services at the level of the region and individual municipalities; smart competency centers); management of the implementation of the concept (management principles; basic directions of implementation; regulatory regulation; information infrastructure; personnel and education; timing and stages, etc.), and also provides an action plan for the implementation of the concept.

The approach chosen as the basis was presented by the International Telecommunication Union in the report “” (“Formation of smarter and more sustainable cities. Striving to achieve sustainable development goals”). As part of this approach, based on an analysis of successful practices in the implementation of digital technologies in various cities around the world and proposals for technological solutions by transnational corporations (Huawei, CISCO, IBM, Microsoft), six functional and technological areas were proposed: “smart” lifestyle, “smart” people, “smart” economy, “smart” mobility, “smart” management, “smart” environment for creating a space (registry) of services.

Functional and technological areas of development of the Sverdlovsk region.

The service registry is a four-level model: functional and technological area, scope of application, tasks to be solved, smart services.

The service registry is an open list of smart solutions, i.e. may be supplemented as new services become available.

Structure of smart services within functional areas: examples.

The concept provides a classification of services and suggests the order of their implementation.

It also talks about the creation competence centers two types:

1. Centers for scientific and technological competencies on the basis of UrFU and other universities in the region, institutes of the Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences.

2. Centers of market competence of digital economy companies of the Sverdlovsk region (SKB Kontur, UCSB, Naumen Soft, Trinity, NPO Sapphire, Data Krat, Host, UMMC-Telecom, Extreme-pro, Uralgeoinform, UOMZ, etc.) and spin-offs of international and Russian companies (NTS, Huawei, Rostelecom, Galaxy, Yandex, etc.).

It is also planned to develop a support system for existing companies (with headquarters in the Sverdlovsk region), as well as startups and spin-offs in the field of smart solutions with access to the final order, as well as to create facilities and territories-"polygons"- test sites for developing and testing the compatibility of fundamentally new technologies, standards and other elements of model architecture in an environment reminiscent of real conditions, and assessing the potential for their integration into production. An existing or specially constructed building, a section of road, a university campus, etc. can serve as “testing grounds” objects.

It is noted that the implementation of the Smart Region project must be carried out in close cooperation with other ongoing priority regional projects in the Sverdlovsk region, ensuring the necessary level of digitalization in their areas of responsibility.

Correlation of priority projects of the Sverdlovsk region with the functional and technological areas of the Concept.

Time frames and stages of concept implementation

The implementation of the concept is designed for the period from 2018 to 2030.

Stage 1. 2018-2024. Preparation of the regulatory legal framework, infrastructure, development and implementation of the first technological corridors, formation of a single data space and a single service space, implementation of “pilot” projects with the greatest social and economic effects.

Stage 2. 2025-2030. Large-scale implementation of smart services in the region, formation at the Expo site of one of the world's largest research and educational centers in the field of smart solutions.

Stage 3. 2031-2035. Complete digital transformation of the economy of the Sverdlovsk region, changing the structure of the economy in favor of digital economy companies through the development of a wide class of medium and small digital economy companies, including on the basis of established smart competence centers.

Risks of implementing the concept

As stated in the document, the implementation of the concept is associated with five key risks.

The first risk is insufficient adaptation of target groups to the use of smart solutions(ineffective use, in some cases, active rejection of smart solutions). From this point of view, large-scale training and informing residents of the Sverdlovsk region about the implementation of smart solutions in settlements in the region, as well as about their potential and real effects, is important. In this way, it will be possible to create adequate expectations and popularize the idea of ​​using smart technologies.

The second risk is loss of jobs in traditional activities. It will be minimized through the creation of new jobs in sectors of the digital economy, as well as the implementation of retraining and advanced training programs.

The third risk is information security violation(unauthorized influence on the space of data and information systems, leading to improper and/or dangerous functioning of services, leading to a loss of their quality and the occurrence of dangerous, including emergency, situations). The risk will be minimized by increasing awareness and literacy of the population and organizations in information security issues; priority use of domestic software and equipment in government bodies; implementation of information security standards in the Sverdlovsk region.

The fourth risk is the lack of a regulatory framework for the use of smart services. The risk will be minimized by improving the existing legislative framework of the region in order to remove a number of restrictions; formation of a regulatory legal framework for the use of PPP mechanisms in the field of smart solutions within the powers of public authorities of the Sverdlovsk region, as well as the initiation of the necessary regulatory legal acts at the federal level.

The fifth risk is the emergence of new items of regional budget expenditure related to the implementation of the concept. The risk will be minimized by implementing measures to attract private investment, including foreign; use of PPP mechanisms (concession agreements, etc.); attracting federal funds provided within the framework of the implementation of the Digital Economy of the Russian Federation Program.

Assessment of competencies of the Sverdlovsk region

The appendix to the concept provides statistics for the region. Thus, in regional ratings devoted to assessing the level of digitalization, the Sverdlovsk region occupies a rather modest position: 63rd place in the ranking of regions in terms of the level of informatization and the Ministry of Telecom and Mass Communications of Russia (-55 positions compared to 2016), 48th place in the rating of constituent entities of the Russian Federation in terms of the degree of implementation and efficiency of using satellite navigation technologies based on the GLONASS system (based on the results of the 4th quarter of 2017).

As a result of the analysis of digitalization indicators of the Sverdlovsk region, the following are made: conclusions:

• in terms of digitalization level, the Sverdlovsk region is inferior to Moscow, St. Petersburg, the Moscow and Leningrad regions and is comparable to such regions as the Novosibirsk region and Tatarstan;
• consumers of the Sverdlovsk region (both in the corporate and mass sectors) are ready to implement digital solutions, but are not yet fully aware of the effects this can have;
• on the territory of the Sverdlovsk region, a cluster of strong IT companies has actually formed, which can become one of the foundations for the further development of the digital economy of the region;
• The northern territories of the region, Yekaterinburg and its satellite cities may become key geographic centers for the implementation of smart solutions.

As the department explains, an interdepartmental working group has been created in the Sverdlovsk region to develop approaches to forming a program for the development of the digital economy in the region. The working group includes representatives of both the executive authorities of the Sverdlovsk region, as well as the scientific, expert and business community.

As part of the work of the working group, in accordance with the “Digital Economy” program, a key project direction of the program for the development of the digital economy in the Sverdlovsk region was identified - “Smart Region”.

Based on the results of the work, with the participation of the Federal State Autonomous Educational Institution of Higher Education "Ural Federal University named after the first President of Russia B.N. Yeltsin", a draft concept for building a "Smart Region" in the Sverdlovsk region was formed, which was presented on April 18, 2018 at the Council under the regional governor.

2. Global trends in the development of smart cities and smart regions

2.1. Foreign strategies for the development of smart cities and smart regions.

The concept of introducing smart digital technologies in the Ulyanovsk region “Smart Region” for 2017-2030 is based on global experience in the development of smart cities and smart regions.

In foreign countries, national and municipal strategies for the development of smart cities have been developed and are in operation: “Smart Cities Initiatives” in the European Union and the USA; a number of departmental and interdepartmental initiatives standardizing the development of smart cities in the People's Republic of China; the 100 Smart Cities program in India; Smart Cities plan in Australia, etc. By 2017, there are several hundred smart cities around the world.

Experts identify three types and three ways of developing smart cities:

introduction of smart systems into the infrastructure of existing cities;

creation of smart infrastructure for large public events;

construction of new high-tech areas or cities (“greenfield” projects).

Since 2015, the countries of the European Union have seen a transition from a smart city strategy to a smart region strategy, which covers not only the municipal, but also the regional and intermunicipal level of planning and policy. Smart regions scale smart city practices and define their smart economic specialization.

Since 2012, the European Union has been implementing the Research and Innovation Strategy for Smart Specialization (RIS3). Support for regional and national smart specialization strategies is provided through participation in the Smart Specialization Platform (S3), created in 2011, and the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF). One type of specialization is the development of ICT; the share of these specializations in the total is 12%.

The development of smart regions in the European Union occurs in different ways:

as a continuation of smart city development strategies (Ile-de-France in France, Wallonia in Belgium);

by forming agglomerations (Turin-Milan, in Italy, Lyon in France);

by turning areas with low urbanization into smart regions (Mantua in Italy).

In the United States, the Economic Development Administration implements the Regional Research and Innovation Strategies (RIS) Program. The main goal of the American strategy is to support young companies developing solutions for a smart city.

2.2. The role of private companies, research centers and citizens in the development of technologies for smart cities and smart regions.

Leading companies in the smart city technology market usually have more than a hundred implemented smart city projects around the world. There are two types of smart city projects proposed by companies:

comprehensive solutions – this is servicing the entire life cycle of city construction, including infrastructure, industrial and partial solutions;

partial solutions are technological solutions within a narrow specialization (ICT, telecommunications, energy, security, building automation and control systems, etc.).

Multinational companies often implement projects in collaboration with the authorities of individual cities, then scale up pilot projects to cities around the world in order to commercialize the solutions. In the US, pilot cities always collaborate with private partners. China and India are attracting corporate partners, including foreign corporations, to implement national smart city strategies, creating pilot cities and regions (for example, Wuxi and Guangzhou in China), and supporting joint international business projects.

In addition to large corporations, small and medium-sized enterprises are actively involved in the development of smart cities. As part of national smart city strategies and corporate projects, competitions of ideas and solutions are held, grant support is provided to small and medium-sized businesses, business incubators, open innovation centers and parks are organized, and “champions” working in the smart city development segment are identified.

In some large cities (for example, Berlin in Germany), there are several hundred research groups studying the possibilities and effects of using ICT in various spheres of life. These are research groups at universities, large companies and architectural bureaus, as well as research institutes that study complex urban problems and individual directions in their development, international consulting and expert structures on urban problems, and international consortia.

The role of public, expert and research organizations, as well as companies, is to create various ratings and partnerships for the development of smart cities and regions. An effective mechanism for open innovation is “living labs”, which allow companies, start-ups and enterprising citizens to test various solutions for smart cities in practice in a real urban environment. Crowdsourcing projects and hackathons are used to attract a wide range of citizens.

3. Prerequisites and legal framework for the introduction of intelligent digital technologies in the constituent entities of the Russian Federation

3.1. Strategic documents of the Russian Federation in the field of development of digital technologies.

Decree of the President of the Russian Federation dated 05/09/2017 No. 203 “On the strategy for the development of the information society in the Russian Federation for 2017–2030” approved the “Strategy for the development of the information society in the Russian Federation for 2017–2030.” This Strategy defines the goals, objectives and measures for the implementation of the domestic and foreign policy of the Russian Federation in the field of application of information and communication technologies, aimed at developing the information society, forming a national digital economy, ensuring national interests and implementing strategic national priorities.

This Decree recommends that state authorities of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation and local governments make changes to strategic planning documents in accordance with the “Strategy for the Development of the Information Society in the Russian Federation for 2017 – 2030.” In particular, the “Strategy for the Development of the Information Society in the Russian Federation for 2017 – 2030” provides for amendments to state programs of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, plans for the activities of executive authorities of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, local governments, development institutions, and companies with state participation.

The strategy determines that investments from the budgets of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation and local budgets are made in priority areas identified by the state and society for the support and development of information and communication technologies.

The strategy involves conducting an annual assessment of the effectiveness of the performance of the heads of federal executive bodies and senior officials (heads of the highest executive bodies of state power) of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation in implementing this document.

By order of the President of the Russian Federation dated April 3, 2017
No. 96-rp “On approval of the Regulations on the working group of the Economic Council under the President of the Russian Federation in the direction of “Digital Economy” and by Order of the President of the Russian Federation
dated 04/03/2017 No.97-rp “On approval of the composition of the working group of the Economic Council under the President of the Russian Federation in the direction of “Digital Economy””, the corresponding regulations and composition of the working group were approved.

The “Digital Economy of the Russian Federation” program has been developed, which defines the goals and objectives of the development of the digital economy. It includes eight areas for the development of the digital economy in the Russian Federation for the period until 2025: “regulatory regulation”, “personnel and education”, “formation of research competencies and technological groundwork”, “information infrastructure”, “information security”, “state governance", "smart city" and "healthcare".

Within the framework of the Program, it is expected to coordinate the activities of federal and regional executive authorities, local governments and interact with representatives of business, civil society and the scientific and educational community on the development of the digital economy and the implementation of the provisions of this document. In a number of areas, it is planned to identify pilot regions and cities. The program involves creating a ranking of smart cities. It is also expected to develop a detailed three-year plan for the implementation of the Program.

The “Digital Economy of the Russian Federation” program provides for the adoption of regulatory legal acts that ensure the development of mechanisms for venture investment and public-private partnerships in the field of the digital economy, including public-private partnerships in the creation and operation of state information systems.

A draft Federal Law on public-private partnership in the field of operation of state information systems has been prepared.

A draft Federal Law “On amendments to certain legislative acts of the Russian Federation on the use of information and telecommunication technologies and the introduction of electronic forms of documents in the field of healthcare” has also been prepared. The law will regulate telemedicine issues and create conditions for the use of artificial intelligence to analyze large amounts of medical data.

The common point of the “Strategy for the Development of the Information Society in the Russian Federation for 2017 – 2030” and the program “Digital Economy of the Russian Federation” is the provision that the transition to the third stage of digitalization of industries is currently underway. Its essence lies in the use of big data, methods of its transmission and processing to improve the efficiency of activities in these industries.

3.2 Experience in implementing smart city projects in the constituent entities of the Russian Federation and the transition to a smart regions strategy.

Among the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, Moscow takes the lead in the development of smart cities. The city of federal significance is developing active cooperation with foreign companies, as well as with partners within the framework of the European Smart Cities Initiative, the World Organization of Smart Sustainable Cities ( WeGO )" and other international organizations.

In 2014, according to the Ericsson Networked Society City Index, Moscow ranked 17th in the list of smart cities in the world. In The World's "Smartest" Cities ranking, which takes into account a large number of evaluation criteria, Moscow took 108th place among the world's cities in 2016. In 2017, the city was included by several expert organizations in the top ten smartest cities in the world.

Among the advantages of Moscow, experts note the efficiency of the infrastructure, in particular the transport system, the encouragement of start-ups, the quality of higher education and human potential, the work of city portals, and the quality of the Internet. The Moscow Mayor's portal mos.ru is one of the ten most popular government Internet resources in the world. The Open Government of the Russian Federation notes such Moscow smart city projects as the installation of 6.5 thousand traffic sensors and the interactive map of city institutions “Electronic Atlas of Moscow”.

The experience of Moscow is already being used in the Ulyanovsk region, cooperation with Moscow partners will be expanded in the implementation of the Smart Region concept.

Other cities of the Russian Federation lag significantly behind Moscow in the development of smart technologies. In the ranking of The World's "Smartest" Cities in 2016, St. Petersburg took 133rd place, Novosibirsk - 154th place. The 2016-2017 Innovation Cities Index included several Russian cities, in particular Moscow (43rd place), St. - St. Petersburg (73rd place), Kazan (339th place), Yekaterinburg (358th place) and Nizhny Novgorod (388th place) in the Russian index of cities by the level of digitalization, compiled by the Skolkovo business school, among the million-plus cities of the Russian Federation. include Yekaterinburg, St. Petersburg, Moscow, Kazan and Novosibirsk.

The development of smart cities in the Russian Federation is supported by large companies. IBM Corporation announced cooperation in this area with Skolkovo. Huawei has supported the Russian Government program “Digital Economy of the Russian Federation” and is ready to replicate the Chinese experience of smart cities in Russia. The American company Cisco selects Russian startups for smart city projects. In Yekaterinburg with the support of international experts and the company IBM announced the beginning of an experiment to transform an entire urban microdistrict into a smart city.

Of the large Russian companies, Rostec Group of Companies is the most actively implementing complex smart city projects. A pilot smart city project was launched by the company in Nizhny Tagil, and it is planned to scale it up in the Aktobe region of Kazakhstan. Rostelecom PJSC, which entered into an agreement with the Tambov region, and Rosatom State Corporation, which entered into an agreement on the development of smart cities with Tatarstan, also announced their projects in the field of smart technologies.

In a number of constituent entities of the Russian Federation, authorities have announced a transition to Smart Region projects, including in the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug, Novosibirsk Region, Primorsky Territory and Rostov Region. The normative consolidation of the project has so far been carried out only in the Novosibirsk region (as part of the re-industrialization program). The concept of Smart region (“Smart region”) of the Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Okrug was presented at the VII International IT Forum with the participation of the BRICS and SCO countries in 2015, but has not yet received regulatory approval.

“Smart Region” projects in the constituent entities of the Russian Federation involve the introduction of ICT in various sectors and spheres of society: housing and communal services, environmental safety, road safety, medicine and the social sphere in general. The projects pay attention to the creation of geodata systems, as well as the development of the MFC. As part of the implementation of Smart Region projects in the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, commercial companies are invited to cooperate, foresight sessions are held, and research centers are created at universities.

Order of the Governor of the Ulyanovsk Region dated March 22, 2017 No. 223-r “On approval of the Innovation Declaration of the Ulyanovsk Region” proclaims the priority of innovation and the basic principles of policy in the field of innovation. The most important condition for the innovative development of the Ulyanovsk region is the introduction of intelligent digital technologies in key areas of life in the Ulyanovsk region.

The government of the Ulyanovsk region took an active part in the discussion of the draft program “Digital Economy of the Russian Federation”.

The “Smart Region” concept is aimed at implementing the development scenario of the Ulyanovsk region “High technologies and creative class”, provided for by the 2030 Strategy, and the implementation of the “Innovation Declaration of the Ulyanovsk Region”. It is closely interconnected with the “Strategy for the development of the industry of information and communication technologies and electronics in the Ulyanovsk region for 2015-2020.” The Smart Region concept has been prepared in accordance with the main provisions and indicators of program “Digital Economy of the Russian Federation”.

4.2. High level of Internet penetration and ICT use in the Ulyanovsk region.

An important prerequisite for the introduction of intelligent digital technologies in various fields of activity in the Ulyanovsk region is the widespread use of ICT by the population and organizations.

Currently, in the Ulyanovsk region, the share of organizations using broadband access to the Internet information and telecommunications network in the total number of organizations is 81.1% (in Russia as a whole - 79.5% of organizations, in the Volga Federal District - 78.6 %). Including the share of organizations using access to the Internet with a speed of at least 2 Mbit/s, the total number of organizations in the Ulyanovsk region is higher (53.4%) than in the Russian Federation as a whole (52.2%) and Volga Federal District (50.7%).

More than two-thirds of households in the Ulyanovsk region have a computer (68%), while almost all of them have broadband access to the Internet information and telecommunications network (67% of the total number of households). This generally corresponds to the all-Russian indicator value (71%) and the indicator value for the Volga Federal District (69%).

The number of subscriber devices connected to mobile radiotelephone (cellular) communication networks in the Ulyanovsk region exceeds 1800 per 1000 population, which also corresponds to the average values ​​for Russia and the Volga Federal District.

A prerequisite for the widespread introduction of intelligent digital technologies, in particular the processing of large amounts of data, is a good level of informatization of social sector institutions subordinate to the executive bodies of state power and local government of the Ulyanovsk region. A large proportion of institutions have already been connected to unified information systems, and computerization of basic and auxiliary processes has been carried out.

4.3. High level of development of the information technology cluster in the Ulyanovsk region.

A necessary prerequisite for the development of the introduction of ICT in various fields of activity in the Ulyanovsk region is also the development of the ICT sector as a sector of the economy that generates added value. The Ulyanovsk region is one of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation with a developed ICT cluster.

About 10% of the total volume of shipped goods, works and services of own production in the Ulyanovsk region are products of the ICT sector, which is twice the average for Russia. The Ulyanovsk region ranks 11th in Russia in terms of the share of ICT industry workers in the total number of employees of organizations (4%). Labor productivity in the ICT sector of the Ulyanovsk region is 2.5 times higher than in the regional economy as a whole.

There are about 200 companies operating in the ICT sector in the Ulyanovsk region. Based on the results of 2015 and 2016, two companies are included in the rating of the 50 largest groups and companies in Russia in the field of information and communication technologies, compiled annually by the Expert rating agency. In terms of representation in this ranking, the Ulyanovsk region ranks 3rd after Moscow and St. Petersburg.

The Ecwid company, founded in Ulyanovsk in 2009 and specializing in the development of platforms for organizing electronic commerce on Internet sites, is the largest provider of these services in the world.

International conferences on the topic of ICT are held in the Ulyanovsk region: “Ulcamp”, “Strike”, “RIF.Ulyanovsk”. These events annually attract a total of about ten thousand participants from all over the world.

By Decree of the Governor of the Ulyanovsk Region dated April 11, 2014 No. 38 “On the Public Expert Council for the Development of Information Technologies under the Governor of the Ulyanovsk Region,” a Public Expert Council was created under the Governor of the Ulyanovsk Region, which includes representatives of the ICT sector.

In order to support organizations operating in the field of ICT in the Ulyanovsk region, the Law of the Ulyanovsk region dated October 26, 2015 No. 151-ZO “On amendments to the Law of the Ulyanovsk region “On tax rates of corporate income tax subject to credit to the regional budget of the Ulyanovsk region” was developed , in relation to certain categories of taxpayers" and the Law of the Ulyanovsk region
dated December 28, 2015 No. 215-ZO “On amending Article 1 of the Law of the Ulyanovsk Region “On tax rates of tax levied in connection with the application of the simplified taxation system in the territory of the Ulyanovsk Region” and on the repeal of the legislative act of the Ulyanovsk Region”, in accordance with which reduced the rates of a number of taxes for most entrepreneurs working in the field of information technology.

The existing ICT cluster model represents the unification of several large companies into a regional community, promoting their interests in dialogue with the Government of the Ulyanovsk region, as well as training personnel.

4.4. High human resources potential of the ICT industry in the Ulyanovsk region.

To solve the problem of staffing the ICT industry, interaction has been built between government authorities of the Ulyanovsk region, higher educational institutions and companies.

The companies have created basic departments at universities in the Ulyanovsk region, and representatives of the ICT industry conduct career guidance work with schoolchildren and students.

Every year, universities in the Ulyanovsk region graduate more than 200 highly qualified specialists in the field of ICT.

The Federal State Budgetary Institution of Higher Professional Education “Ulyanovsk State Technical University” ranks 18th out of 49 universities in the all-Russian ranking of the SuperJob portal in terms of graduate salaries in the IT field. The average salary of graduates who graduated from this university from 1 to 5 years ago is, according to the portal, 73 thousand rubles. According to the SuperJob rating, 73% of university graduates find work in Ulyanovsk.

By order of the Government of the Ulyanovsk Region dated March 15, 2016 No. 150-pr “On the participation of the Ulyanovsk Region in the creation of the Information Technology Development Fund of the Ulyanovsk Region”, the Government of the Ulyanovsk Region became one of the founders of the Information Technology Development Fund, the task of which, in particular, is to support educational projects in the field ICT. In 2016, the Fund supported 11 projects for a total amount of 2.9 million rubles, in 2017 – 23 projects for a total amount of 5.1 million rubles.

The largest educational project for students and schoolchildren in the field of ICT in the Ulyanovsk region is the annual conference “Master of Information Technologies”.

In 2016, at the Ulyanovsk State Technical University, with the support of the Government of the Ulyanovsk region, a student co-working space “Internet House” was opened.

4.5. High level of development of e-government.

An important prerequisite for the introduction of intelligent digital technologies in the Ulyanovsk region is the high level of development of electronic government.

The executive bodies of state power of the Ulyanovsk region use 67 information systems, 116 information systems are used at the level of administrations of municipal districts of the Ulyanovsk region. At the same time, 11 information systems were created in the region to solve specific problems of government authorities. In general, informatization programs in executive bodies of state power have been implemented for more than 10 years.

In order to simplify the procedure for providing state and municipal services, executive bodies of state power and local governments use a regional system of interdepartmental electronic interaction (hereinafter referred to as TVIS), with the help of which departments independently request from federal departments the information necessary for the provision of services. 24 municipalities and 12 executive authorities of the Ulyanovsk region are connected to TVIS. Access to TVIS was provided to almost 3 thousand users (employees of departments). 37 electronic services have been introduced into the system. In 2016, 2,460,461 requests were sent to federal executive authorities through TVIS.

According to Rosstat, by the beginning of 2016, the share of electronic document flow between state authorities and local self-government in the total volume of interdepartmental document flow in the Ulyanovsk region was 61.6%, which corresponds to 10th place in the Russian Federation (the average for Russia is 44.9%, in the Volga Federal District - 53.2%).

In 2016, to improve the efficiency of informatization management in the Ulyanovsk region, the State Public Institution “Government for Citizens” was created. The main goals of the institution are to organize the provision of state and municipal services on the “one-window” principle and in electronic form, as well as the development of Internet technologies.

At the beginning of 2017, the regional network of MFCs includes 28 centers and is represented in every municipality. The total number of applicant acceptance windows is 313 units. In the region, 96.2% of residents have access to these services on a “one-stop” basis. There is a single call center through which you can obtain information about municipal services.

In 2016, work was completed to convert 70 priority state and municipal services into electronic form. According to updated data from Rosstat, the share of citizens of the Ulyanovsk region who took advantage of receiving state and municipal services in electronic form in 2016 amounted to 53.9%. The Ulyanovsk region was among 33 constituent entities of the Russian Federation that achieved the target level of this indicator for 2016.

4.6. Leadership of the Ulyanovsk region in the field of open data.

The Ulyanovsk region is consistently a leader in the openness of data from regional authorities. Since 2012, the government of the Ulyanovsk region has been successfully cooperating with the World Bank on issues of increasing data openness and developing e-government. The organization's experts highly appreciated the readiness of the regional authorities for openness and the level of disclosure of data on their activities.

According to the Infometer company, in the ranking of information openness of regional governments, open data of Russian regions, at the end of 2016, the Government of the Ulyanovsk region ranks 3rd in Russia in terms of openness and for the second year in a row - 1st in Russia in hosting open data.

In the Ulyanovsk region, ICTs are actively used to involve citizens in the adoption of significant decisions by authorities.

Heads of state authorities and local governments maintain their own online diaries and have accounts on social networks. Virtual and electronic reception offices of state authorities and local governments have been created. A public discussion of the bills is being held on the official website of the Governor and the Government of the Ulyanovsk region. Crowdsourcing projects are being implemented in the form of online voting and discussions.

In the form of online voting, the activities of members of the Regional Government, heads of municipal administrations and heads of unitary enterprises and institutions are assessed. A system of independent assessment of the quality of services provided by healthcare, educational, cultural and social service institutions has also been introduced. The practice of live broadcasts on the Internet of Government meetings, important meetings, regional and international events has been introduced.

4.7. Successful experience in using big data and the Internet of things in the Ulyanovsk region.

Bodies of state power and local self-government of the Ulyanovsk region have accumulated large amounts of data in electronic form. At the end of 2016, the Civil Registry Office of the Ulyanovsk Region converted 2,324,555 records into electronic form, or 49% of all available records. In the field of education, 95% of the total number of educational organizations in the Ulyanovsk region of all levels of education are connected to the information system “Network City. Education".

Informatization has made the greatest progress in the healthcare sector. The infrastructure of a unified medical information and analytical system, or regional medical information system (hereinafter referred to as EMIAS or RMIS), has been built.

RMIS consists of 9 modules: electronic registry, immunoprophylaxis, fluorotheque, electronic medical record, traffic police certificates, functional diagnostics, recording the movement of patients in the hospital, maternity, and preferential drug provision. The system contains a number of services: electronic registry, situation center, electronic medical record, electronic prescription, sick leave records, laboratory services, personalized records and others.

EMIAS allows you to manage patient flows and maintain personalized records of medical care. The EMIAS analytical subsystem collects and analyzes data on patient visits to medical institutions in the city, including the demand for certain specialists, their workload and the length of queues. EMIAS contains more than 1.6 million outpatient medical records of residents of the Ulyanovsk region (including residents of other regions who received medical care in the Ulyanovsk region).

The portal doctor73.ru operates, through which it is possible to make a round-the-clock appointment with a doctor for any resident of the Ulyanovsk region online. Since 2015, the portal has been supplemented with the Vita-card mobile application (Android, iOS).

Since 2016, the integration of the electronic registry with the federal portal of public services has begun under the “My Health” subsection. In 2016, 5.7 million appointments with doctors in the region were made through the electronic registry.

The electronic prescription system aggregates data about the patient, doctor and medical institution. Integration of a unified medical information system with information systems in the field of compulsory health insurance makes it possible to create a regional register of the insured attached population.

Smart technologies are also being actively implemented at the municipal level.

In 2015, the “Smart Lighting” project was implemented in the city of Dimitrovgrad. As part of it, more than 7 thousand street lighting devices were replaced. They are connected to an installed automated management and control system for energy consumption, which automatically allows you to monitor the status of networks, keep records of energy consumption, determine the number of burnt-out lamps and, if manual intervention is necessary, remotely control lighting modes from control centers. The introduction of energy-saving technologies will allow the municipality to save more than 31 million kW of electricity over five years.

The portal “bus173.ru” displays in real time the movement of more than a hundred buses, trams and minibuses in the city of Ulyanovsk with an estimate of the actual arrival time of each route at each specific stop. A pilot project for a “smart stop” has been launched, which is an information kiosk equipped with video surveillance and a panic button, providing access to the “bus173.ru” portal and government electronic services. Information boards are installed at public transport stops.

Smart technologies have become widespread in the housing and communal services sector of the Ulyanovsk region. Online payment services for utilities are available. In Dimitrovgrad, with the assistance of Rosatom State Corporation, the Smart Home project was launched, within the framework of which meters for remote metering of electricity consumption are used. Since 2013, an automated system for accounting and dispatching energy consumption has been introduced, to which about 90% of apartment buildings in Dimitrovgrad are connected.

As part of the transition to a new stage in the development of the digital economy, a number of Ulyanovsk companies are using Internet of Things and big data technologies.

The Aviastar-SP aircraft manufacturing plant, part of the United Aircraft Corporation PJSC, actively uses and implements digital technologies. The Il-76MD-90A aircraft was completely designed using digital technologies, which significantly accelerated the start of its mass production on CNC machines. Since 2014, the base department of the Ulyanovsk State University “Digital Technologies of Aviation Production” has been operating on the territory of the Aviastar-SP plant.

AeroComposite JSC is included in the production chain for the production of components for the new MS-21 passenger aircraft; this is a high-tech project implemented on the principles of digitalization of the economy.

Subsidiaries of OJSC Gazprom Gazoraspredelenie use an automated commercial gas metering system (ASCG) when operating the gas network in the Ulyanovsk region. Its functions include centralized data collection from gas metering stations; monitoring the current state of objects; issuing data and exchanging analytical information with other data collection systems and programs for calculating payments; control of interference in the operation of metering units; preparation of analytical information, reports, protocols; protection of information from unauthorized access.

FSPC JSC NPO Mars is a leading Russian enterprise in the field of automation of processes of combat control in the fleet, creation and maintenance of geographically distributed control systems. In parallel with the creation of an export model of an automated combat control system for an aircraft carrier (ASBU "Lesorub-E"), the enterprise is working to determine the appearance of an integrated combat control system for landing helicopter dock ships for the Russian Navy, improving the mathematical support for aviation control tasks, as well as developing solutions on modernization of technical means and control systems on existing Navy ships.

Rosatom State Corporation uses radiation sensors at its facilities (Dimitrovgrad), the data from which is aggregated in a unified information system, some of the information is available online on the Internet and through a mobile application.

Large amounts of data in electronic form are used by companies in the fields of trade and telecommunications. Call centers of Alfabank OJSC and MTS OJSC are located in the Ulyanovsk region.

Components of industrial cyber-physical systems are produced in the Ulyanovsk region.

Ulyanovsk Machine Tool Plant LLC, part of the DMG Mori Seiki concern, produces machines that are connected via the Internet to the MORI NET Global Edition auxiliary service, which provides the ability to track machines. The service includes a remote system for transmitting alarms and alarm information, processing workflow information and program management.

Seagard LLC produces GLONASS/GPS monitoring systems, machine-to-machine communication devices and other Internet of Things solutions. The company's products are exported to foreign countries.

4.8. High level of innovation development within the framework of smart specialization of the Ulyanovsk region.

Another important prerequisite for the introduction of intelligent digital technologies in the Ulyanovsk region is the fact of the widespread development of high-tech and knowledge-intensive industries in the region.

The share of products from high-tech and knowledge-intensive industries in the gross regional product of the Ulyanovsk region is about 33%, which is the best indicator in the Volga Federal District and the second in Russia. In terms of the share of innovative goods, works and services (13.2%), the Ulyanovsk region ranks 12th in Russia.

Smart regional specialization of the economy is being formed.

In 2016, an innovation cluster was created in the Ulyanovsk region. This cluster is included in the list of 11 innovation clusters - participants in the priority project of the Ministry of Economic Development of Russia “Development of innovative clusters - leaders in investment attractiveness of the world level”, approved in accordance with the order of the Ministry of Economic Development of Russia dated June 27, 2016 No. 400 “On the priority project of the Ministry of Economic Development of Russia “Development of innovation clusters - world-class investment attractiveness leaders.”

The cluster was formed on the basis of two innovation clusters - aviation and nuclear innovation, which also in 2011 were identified among 25 pilot innovation clusters at the federal level. An important component of the project of the united innovation cluster will be new high-tech industrial enterprises and companies attracted over the past five years to the sites of the Ulyanovsk port special economic zone and the Zavolzhye industrial park. The Technocampus 2.0 project will become a single assembly point for all innovative projects in the region and the core of the innovation cluster of the Ulyanovsk region. The organization overseeing the creation and development of the innovation cluster is the ANO DO "Center for Cluster Development of the Ulyanovsk Region".

Also in the Ulyanovsk region, a Regional Technology Initiative is being implemented, formed on the basis of the National Technology Initiative, designated by the President of the Russian Federation V.V. Putin in his address to the Federal Assembly on December 4, 2014 as one of the priorities of state policy.

To implement the National Technology Initiative in the region, a project office was created on the basis of the ANO “Agency for Advanced Initiatives, Technologies, Projects”. In April 2016, following the results of a federal competition, the region was among the 10 pilot regions of the country that began to implement it. In the Ulyanovsk region, regional working groups have been created and development roadmaps have been approved in 6 areas of NTI: AeroNet, EnergyNet, FoodNet, HealthNet, NeuroNet, Circle Movement.
