Participants will be able to learn about successful cases of digital solution implementation, discuss current industry challenges, and find new avenues for cooperation.

Special attention is paid by the organizers to the business program of the exhibitions, which traditionally becomes a platform for dialogue between government structures, business, and the expert community.
