"The capital once again confirmed its status as one of the most technologically advanced cities in the world. The experts took into account 90 indicators of innovative development. They cover several key areas - from economy and environment to society and culture," said Natalia Sergunina.
In particular, international experts noted the almost complete coverage of the territory of Moscow with high-speed Internet (98.9%). 97 percent of residents use it daily.
Moscow exploits the potential of all advanced technologies - blockchains, metaverse, IoT and other innovations. Over 300 IT projects are implemented in the capital every year, and over 90 of them already involve artificial intelligence. Last year alone, 25 Moscow developments were awarded prestigious Russian and international awards in the field of digitalization.
In 2021, the capital received certificates of compliance with two international standards, ISO 37 120 "Sustainable Communities - Indicators for Urban Services and Quality of Life" and ISO 37 122 "Sustainable Cities and Communities - Indicators for Smart Cities".
