International Forum “Kazan Digital Week – 2021”: results of the second day

Yesterday was the second day of the international forum “Kazan Digital Week – 2021”, which takes place in the capital city of the Republic of Tatarstan - Kazan.

The second day did not slow down the pace set on September 21. However, if on the first day everyone’s attention was drawn to the visit of the President of the Republic of Tatarstan Rustam Minnikhanov, then the second day for the IT Park delegation and other participants of the exhibition was full of many meetings that are significant in professional cooperation and agreements concluded between organizations of the two republics.

The second day began with a bright event - the signing of a memorandum between “IT Park Uzbekistan” represented by Deputy Director of IT Park Abdulahad Kuchkarov and “SEZ Innopolis” JSC represented by Director General of the organization Renat Halimov. Further, an equally significant event took place, both for IT Park and for IT specialists and owners of startups in Uzbekistan - the signing of an additional agreement between IT Park Uzbekistan and the IT Park of Kazan within the framework of a previously signed memorandum on April 2, 2019.
