“A digital state is a state that works with digital transformation – with new digital realities in the economy and society, and uses new digital tools and processes.

As factories are replaced by robotic production facilities, the state is turning into a digital platform and automating more and more routine functions. Therefore, new requirements are being imposed on managers in ministries and corporations. It is necessary to set tasks for artificial intelligence, make decisions based on data analysis, and manage the interaction of the state platform and corporate platforms with business and society.

Our graduates are leaders of the digital transformation of the state and society. These are future experts and strategists, analysts and communicators who will work in leadership positions in ministries and corporations”.
