Pepeliaev Group advises that a project: “Register of digital companies for business” has been launched to accumulate digital solutions to arrange remote operations of businesses.
The first online forum on business digitalisation during the pandemic: “Forum.Digital 'A New business reality'” was held on 7 April 2020. Following the forum, the Russian Chamber of Commerce and Industry together with the Digital Economy Development Fund have decided to set up a register of digital companies for business [1].
During the pandemic many companies are being forced to look for solutions on how their operations can be organised in a remote format. The register of digital companies for business has been set up in order to combine existing digital solutions that allow for remote operations to be arranged for businesses in different areas. To date, more than 70 companies developing software who organise various aspects of business in remote format have been included in the register.

One of the purposes for setting up a register of digital companies is also to provide assistance to small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) for the period of pandemic. According to the official website of the Digital Economy Development Fund, it is anticipated that before 1 September 2020 companies that are included in the register will present their digital solutions and services to SMEs free of charge or on special anti-crisis terms. In turn, digital companies included in the register are promoted and positioned by the Digital Economy Development Fund.
IT companies and start-ups developing digital solutions, services and technologies for business are included in the register in the following areas:
