The Ministry of Digital Development, Communications and Mass Communications of the Russian Federation (Ministry of Communications) announces that new measures will be implemented in the coming year to support βend-to-endβ digital technologies.
βEnd-to-endβ digital technologies mean such areas as big data, industrial Internet, artificial intelligence, wireless communications, robotics and sensor components, quantum technologies, distributed ledger systems, as well as virtual and augmented reality platforms.
New support measures provide for the provision of preferential loans to domestic companies. It is expected that banks will issue such loans at a rate of 1% to 5% per annum for up to six years.
Companies whose projects meet the requirements of the federal Digital Technologies program will be able to take advantage of the preferential loan. According to experts, these measures will become an effective tool for scaling and commercializing digital technologies in Russia.
βInterest rate subsidies are an important tool to support the digital economy. For mature companies that need investment for scaling and production, preferential loans are more interesting than selling their stake in the capital,β experts say.
