“We will only become stronger through challenges, because many things that we did not have a super need for, because Western technologies were developed, we are now forced to recreate on our own in the shortest possible time. This gives a great incentive to the development of industry, science and education. Everyone started to catch up quickly,” he said.

According to him, Russia has enough talented people and specific developments.

“We have something to offer. There is very great interest in the field of cybersecurity, digitalization of the financial sector... our industry is our strength, it will continue to grow and develop,” the minister added.
