Recall that RIVC JSC is a co-organizer of the forum. The team of JSC "RIVC" has developed a system for digitalization of the agro-industrial complex, which includes three main areas:
- creation of a regional information system for the agro-industrial complex - "Agropolia".
- education, in particular: advanced training courses for top management of agricultural enterprises.
- automation of agribusiness as the basis of all digital transformation.
All these systems should be connected with Agropolia, which will eventually lead to the creation of a single digital ecosystem of agricultural data of the Republic.
