The Kremlin has issued a formal agenda urging President Vladimir Putin to approve a national project aimed at building a data economy by 2030. This plan centers on strengthening the nation’s data capabilities across collection, transmission, and the deployment of next generation communications that rely on highly sensitive quantum sensing systems. The goal is to lay down an integrated framework for how data is processed and moved, with a strong emphasis on using domestic hardware, software, and services.
A key feature of the proposal is the creation of a robust infrastructure for data handling that leverages homegrown equipment, technology, and software. This includes the development of cloud platforms, data centers, and substantial computing power, all designed to operate within a secure, national ecosystem. The emphasis is not merely on accessibility but on sovereignty over the data lifecycle from capture to storage and analysis.
Prime Minister Mishustin has previously spoken on the Strategic Development and National Projects Council, underscoring that authorities are repeatedly engaging a dedicated project to model socio economic risk and price dynamics. He noted that monitoring and corrective actions are essential to keep plans on track and aligned with real world conditions. Feedback from citizens and business communities is cited as a vital input to refining the program and ensuring it remains responsive to evolving needs. The overarching message is that proactive risk management and continuous improvement are central to successful execution.
There is also an ongoing discussion within Roskomnadzor about responsible handling of information and the role of messaging platforms in compliance with state policies. The focus is on balancing informational access with regulatory requirements, a conversation that has taken on new urgency as digital communications grow in importance for governance and everyday life. The evolving policy environment reflects a broader trend toward securing digital channels while enabling legitimate uses of technology for public good.
