ArmInfo. June 29-30 in Yerevan will be the 11th business forum Digitech under the slogan "Smart Solutions for Smart Business". The chairman of the Union of Companies  of Advanced Technologies (UCAT, formerly the Union of IT Companies -  UITC - Ed.) Alexander Yesayan announced on June 28 at a press  conference.

"Digitech is the only platform where IT companies can communicate  with business, and present their solutions to them," he said. In  addition, A. Yesayan said that on the second day of the forum, it is  planned to hold closed discussions, where participants will consider  the format of interaction between high technologies and the  military-industrial complex, in which the defense minister and  representatives of interested parties will participate. According to  him, during these discussions IT companies will be able to present  their solutions for the military industry.

Karpat Vardanyan, the Executive Director of the Joint Control  Commission of the Union of Civil Aviation, said that the Union had  proposed to the Prime Minister that a separate committee for  technological modernization of the country should be established,  which provides for a comprehensive approach and covers such spheres  as military industry, business, infrastructure, education. According  to him, this issue will be raised in the course of discussions within  Digitech.

During the press conference, the expert in the field of information  security Ruben Muradyan also spoke. He noted that there is a need to  deepen cooperation between the state and companies developing  solutions for information security. According to the expert, the  leakage of information has recently increased and in this context the  state has serious problems. "2 years ago there was a severe impact of  cryptoviruses, in 2017 - the banking system suffered. This is not one  precedent, and not two. I hope that within the framework of closed  discussions we will be able to understand what decisions must be  taken in the field of information security," he stressed.

During the forum the participants will discuss the problems of state  importance and IT solutions used in the military industry, cyber  security, renewable energy, electronic control, the sphere of  artificial intelligence, data science, etc.
