Anton Nemkin: digital valleys are the way to develop IT technologies in Russia

Support the creation of digital products and services useful for the Perm Territory, educational centers, promote the digitalization of cultural and creative projects, develop photonics technologies that replace electronics. Such goals were determined for their new Digital Valley Perm by IT entrepreneur, businessman and philanthropist Anton Nemkin. He specially moved to the Urals in early 2021 to build here the same thing that he had already created in Sochi two years ago. Moreover, then, that now a businessman finances such projects exclusively at the expense of his own funds and private investment, without resorting to public financing.

Path in life and path in business

Thirty-eight-year-old Russian businessman and investor has been developing and promoting digital products since 2016. Born in Maykop in the family of a military man, Anton received a higher engineering education at Adygea State University, where he became interested in studying computer technology. After serving after university, he served in the Federal Security Service, after graduating from the FSB Academy, he went into reserve in 2016 to fully focus on IT activities.

The first unique product after Nemkin founded his own business for the development of mobile content was the Seraphim messenger. Its basic advantage, which made this application an important domestic alternative to imported products, was a high level of communications protection. This allows you to use the messenger in the banking sector, in corporate correspondence, where the guaranteed security of user data is important. No wonder the Central Bank of the Russian Federation immediately after the product appeared in 2019 began to consider the possibility of integrating it with its own fast payment system. Moreover, Seraphim as a universal messenger can be built into any system and also supports the function of money transfers. Industry experts expect that in the near future the application may be in demand by clients of financial institutions as an alternative to online banks.

The very next year after joining the IT business, Anton Nemkin became the founder of the Atom fund. The goal of the organization, which brought together specialists in the field of management, economics and information technologies, was to develop domestic information products and promote digitalization in the country's economy and public life. The fund, in which Nemkin headed the Board of Trustees, focused on attracting investments in promising projects to create IT products and services for public administration, education, science, industry and the social sphere.

In 2018, Anton Nemkin became the representative of the Council for the Development of the Digital Economy of the Federation Council. The task of the structure is to distribute and introduce domestic digital products and platforms in the regions of Russia.

Digital valleys are the way to the IT future

Nemkin launched its first digital valley project in 2019 in Sochi. Here, with the assistance of the city administration, several sites for the work of IT specialists were organized - a number of well-equipped laboratories, a testing ground for products. By the way, both developers of digital technologies from Russia and Russian specialists living abroad became participants in the project.

Preference for financing is given to developments in the field of artificial intelligence, the Internet of things, that is, projects conducted at the very forefront of the modern digital revolution. Moreover, teams working on domestic software take advantage of their preferred chances.

The most promising and interesting startups have already received support from the fund in the amount of 5 million rubles.

In addition to working platforms, the "Digital Valley of Sochi" provides a place for regular informal meetings, where experts discuss topics related to digitalization in the country. In addition, the Digitroscope online children's camp operates on the same platform. Here, students learn programming in Scratch environments, on the basis of which computer games are created. And what could be more attractive - and in the future more effective for future work in the field of IT - for the younger generation than creating your own toy with your own hands? And if it also begins to be in demand, then you already have a ready-made IT entrepreneur.

In other words, in such digital valleys - and Perm has become a further development of Sochi - the future is already underway today. And not only technology, but also - above all - young talented, daring people.

He himself is from the daring

Anton Nemkin is seriously fond of car racing, pilots the Honda Civic racing car. In 2017, he created the Motor Sharks team.

The businessman considers it his duty to help people. Together with his wife, they are engaged in charity work. The couple supports low-income large families affected by the economic consequences of coronavirus restrictions. During the very height of the pandemic, the Nemkin couple purchased personal protective equipment and transferred it to hospitals.
