The President’s message reads, in particular:

“Over its years of work, your prestigious forum, which is distinguished by its extensive business programme, has earned deserved influence and professional recognition. This is natural, given that from year to year you hold substantial discussions on the key issues facing the sector, sign mutually advantageous contracts and demonstrate the innovative developments and cutting-edge achievements of Russian and world scientific research.

Information and communication technologies have become a powerful tool for economic and social change throughout the world. Today, it is these technologies that shape the prospects for economic growth and have a direct impact on all countries’ development. An exhibition of the level and scale of InfoCom helps to develop the Russian information technology sector’s potential and provides a boost to many different areas of science and production”.
