Artem Sychev, Advisor to the CEO of Positive Technologies, reminded that government support measures simply do not apply to a number of works: "Positive Technologies uses all support measures provided for the IT industry, including preferential lending. However, there are a number of areas to which these benefits do not apply, for example, security analysis work. On this issue, our company is in cooperation with the Ministry of Digital Development."

According to Lyudmila bahrain cell phone number list Bogatyreva, grants within the framework of state support often simply do not arouse interest in businesses: "There are several reasons for this. Firstly, many are afraid of state money because of the complex reporting both during and after the completion of the project. For example, a product created within the framework of a grant is innovative and has great potential for import substitution, but it may simply "not take off" for reasons beyond the developers' control. For example, if there have been fundamental changes in the market. And here there is a very significant nuance. As a rule, grant agreements contain a clause according to which if target indicators are not achieved, among which there are always revenue requirements, the grant must be returned. No one is insured against the risk of not achieving a certain sales volume.

but also of customers of IT solutions, who are allocated money for the implementation of the product. The customer can spend part of the grant funds on salary expenses, developer services or purchasing software. We offered clients the opportunity to find a budget in this way and encountered cases when the customer is not ready to consider grant money."
