“Both China and the United States are buying up the best brains around not only in the IT sphere, in general in any areas where they do not have enough competencies.

They invite me to their place, give them benefits, good salaries.

Therefore, of course, we are in a highly competitive environment.

The task is to retain, attract, develop the most highly professional personnel.

The fact that such benefits are expected in the IT segment, I think, will be very useful, ”Svintsov noted.

The deputy also stressed that Russia has a huge number of its own IT specialists.

“The task is not only to attract personnel from other countries, but also to keep ours,” he concluded.

Earlier it was reported that the second package of measures to support the IT industry in Russia provides for simplification for IT specialists to obtain a residence permit, as well as preferential mortgages and loans.

This is stated in the action plan approved by the government.

An increase in the competitiveness of Russian IT solutions and the creation of a simplified regime for the transfer of business and personnel from a foreign to Russian jurisdiction are also expected.
