Digital attaches institute in system of digital technology export support on example of big data and European Union legislation

Abstract

The article touches upon the problem of state support for the export of digital technologies, taking into account the requirements set out in the “Action Plan (roadmap) “Creating additional conditions for the development of the information technology industry”, approved by the Government of the Russian Federation in September 2021. The authors develop the idea of the need to activate the activities of digital attaches, which, as expected, in the near future will play an important role in promoting domestic IT companies abroad. At the same time, it is emphasized that in their activities, digital attaches should pay more attention to the legislative process in the partner countries. As an example, the authors analyzed the legislative activity in relation to big data in the European Union countries. The article states the importance of applying the opportunities that the “Data Governance Act”, which is under consideration in the European Parliament, can provide to domestic business. Particular attention is paid to such emerging law institutions as the reuse of public sector big data, the provider and digital altruism. The authors believe that currently there is a rethinking and reformatting of the mechanism of interaction between the state and business in the digital sphere, which also requires study by domestic specialists.
