The rapid development of technologies and the transformation of all sectors of the economy make digital skills the foundation of global competitiveness and innovation. The use of digital technologies in solving work and life tasks allows artificial intelligence to become an assistant for every person.
The field of cybersecurity is becoming one of the most important priorities for studying and developing technological products for society, the state, science, and business.
“Information technologies allow us to look at the world in a completely different way and connect very complex processes that, at first glance, seem unrelated. But this can only be done by managing the entire technological stack. Humanity is on the brink of giant discoveries. You, guys, are living in the most interesting time in the most interesting world because you have a chance to look beyond the horizon of knowledge that humanity could not even formulate as the endpoint of this journey. And you will be able to make this dream come true. I want to wish you success on this fascinating journey! I’m confident that you will succeed because only confident people can participate in our international Olympiad, and I congratulate you on that," said the welcoming speech of Herman Gref, President and Chairman of the Board of Sberbank.
IT technologies are a tool for digitalization that makes our lives more convenient and increases economic efficiency, according to Dmitry Grigorenko, Deputy Chairman of the Russian Government – Head of the Russian government's apparatus.
“But it won’t work without the 'brains' that know how to use it properly. Today, artificial intelligence is already being actively implemented in Russia, domestic IT solutions are being developed, and digital services for citizens are evolving. And behind this process of digital transformation is always a person. Strong IT professionals are in demand not only in Russia but across the globe. Looking at the Olympiad participants, who, despite their young age, already demonstrate such interest in IT and a high level of competence, we understand that the development of the industry is in reliable hands," he emphasized.
According to Gleb Nikitin, Governor of the Nizhny Novgorod Oblast, the international cybersecurity Olympiad is a global platform where talented youth from different countries unite to shape the digital future together.
