The Second Youth Internet Governance Forum was held in Moscow

Technological innovations and current trends in the development of information networks were discussed by the participants of the Second Youth Internet Governance Forum. It was held at the Digital Business Space in Moscow. Guests included businessmen, government officials, experts, newcomers to the industry and authors of promising projects. Some have already been praised by professionals.

Maxim Uryvaev, a freshman from Plekhanov University of Economics, conceived of a mobile app for finding professionals, where you can both recruit a team and gain new knowledge.

"You open our app, a few questions appear before you, you answer them. Let's say you fill in that you are a web designer. Then a map appears in front of you with recommendations based on artificial intelligence. Web designers or similar professions will be shown," said Maxim Uryvaev, a forum participant.

The development won the 'Best Educational IT Project' category. Its authors estimate that it is still about a year away from being released on the market.

In the "Contribution to International Cooperation in the Field of IT" category the best was the development by Arevik Martirosyan - "International Information Security School", which allows organising lectures, master classes and round tables with the participation of experts. The development competition is new to the format, there was no such thing in the first forum. The jury received about 10 applications from all over the country.

“I was surprised by such diversity of the presented works. There were works in the field of information security. There was a swing at the meta-universes. Therefore, it seems to me that the whole spectrum of IT was represented here," said Bella Cherkesova, Deputy Minister of Digital Development, Communications and Mass Media of the Russian Federation.

The organisers of the forum also held several thematic sessions, including a discussion on the development of cybersports. The speeches of the industry participants confirm that the development plans are ambitious.

The Youth Forum is part of the Russian Internet Governance Forum. This time it attracted around four hundred participants in the usual, i.e. offline, mode. Another 80,000 or so followed the online streaming via one of the social networks.
