13.10.2017

Evgenia Zusman, partner of the company, attended the conference "Glimpse into the Digital Future" as the co-moderator of the round-table on "Concession and other legal and business models for implementing concession projects on incorporating the ‘smart city’ services: experience, legislative development, case practice and other modern aspects" held collectively by PJSC Rostelecom and HSE NRU.

Members of the round-table discussed the peculiarities of applying PPP models to IT sector. Within the round-table, an expert discussion was held, involving speakers from governmental agencies (federal and regional executive agencies, local self-government authorities), members of the expert community and business (both of IT companies and financiers).

The members drew attention to the acute need in refining the sector legislation targeted on implementing PPP projects. First and foremost, it is the case of definition of the ‘data processing center’ and the necessity to determine the options to commoditize the data contained in governmental and municipal information systems.

As for establishing a statutory possibility to enter into concession and PPP agreements on IP facilities, the members flagged the relevance of such legislative change. But still, it was voiced that it is unlikely to be adopted in the short term.
