2022

He became the head of the ANO "Digital Economy"

The founders of the Digital Economy ANO unanimously chose Sergei Plugotarenko as the new general director, the organization said on October 1. The day before, TAdviser wrote that a new head was being elected in the Digital Economy ANO, and the portal's sources were inclined to believe that Plugotarenko was most likely to occupy this post.

The choice was between two persons. In addition to Sergei Plugotarenko, another candidate was the current acting general director of ANO Digital Economy Dmitry Ter-Stepanov, who has held this position since August 2022 after the departure of the previous head Yevgeny Kovnir.

A source in the Digital Economy ANO also told TAdviser that the organization plans to approve a new activity strategy. The current strategy was adopted in October 2021 and requires updating. And on October 1, this information was confirmed in the organization's message about the election of Plugotarenko.

ANO "Digital Economy" today faces a rather difficult, but feasible task - to form such a strategy that will be tantamount to meeting both the tasks of business and the tasks of the state. Today, Sergey Plugotarenko was elected the new general director of ANO, who since 2010 has been leading the largest industry association - RAEC. Sergey is well known both among the entrepreneurial IT community and in authorities. He knows how to properly build communications, convey ideas and proposals, and form industry positions. I am sure that ANO "Digital Economy" is waiting for a new era of development together with a new leader, "said Dmitry Chernyshenko, deputy chairman of the government, chairman of the supervisory board of ANO" Digital Economy, "who took part in the meeting of the founders on September 30.

And Sergey Plugotarenko said that in the role of the head of the ANO "Digital Economy," he plans to focus both on the development of existing areas and projects, and on the launch of new ones relevant to the founders, industry, state - and relevant to modern digital challenges.

There are already a lot of plans, and there will be even more. I believe that together with the team we will be able to implement them, relying on the support of stakeholders (business and the state), the expert community, and, of course, in partnership with RAEK, which will continue to represent the interests of Internet business players, "says Plugotarenko.

The head of the Ministry of Digital Science Maksut Shadayev notes that Sergei Plugotarenko is well known to the industry: for decades he has been organizing the Russian Internet Forum and other specialized events, takes part in working groups under the government, is a member of relevant committees, etc.: "The industry trusts him and I am sure Sergey will not let him down.

According to the current strategy, the work of ANO "Digital Economy" should be carried out in five main areas: "Digital transformation of industries and companies," "Safe open infrastructure," "Personnel for the digital economy," "Effective regulation" and "WEF and international cooperation." The result of the joint activities of the founders and partners of the ANO and the state should be the promotion of the formation of "up to 50 Russian platforms using artificial intelligence" in significant sectors of the economy^[1] of^[2]

The organization implements socially significant projects and initiatives, including the educational project "Figure Lesson" and "Figure Day," the project in the field of transformation of industries and companies "Digital Pumping," the base of effective cases "Digital Bank." At the ANO Digital Economy site, initiatives on experimental legal regimes ("digital sandboxes"), including unmanned aerial vehicles, telemedicine and others, are being examined.

One of the sources of TAdviser says that at the time of the discussion of the new strategy of ANO Digital Economy in 2021, there was talk that this organization could be dissolved at all, because its original role has changed.

According to the TAdviser source in the Ministry of Digital Affairs, close to the leadership, there has been some duplication of the functions of their department and the Digital Economy Autonomous Non-Profit Organization, and the further fate of the latter will largely depend on the new leadership: "if it is possible to invest in the ANO some new meaning, a new function, then the importance of this organization may increase."
