The expert groups' reports provide an important analytical contribution to the preparation of a national strategy for the development of digital platforms and the adoption of platform-based solutions across individual sectors of the economy and other areas through 2036. The strategy is being developed by the Russian Government in accordance with instructions issued by the President following the 29^th St Petersburg International Economic Forum.
