He also noted that 150,000 entrepreneurs have already taken advantage of the SME support measure, which allows them to purchase Russian software at a 50% discount.

The program of the Ministry of Digital Development of Russia allows SMEs to purchase software from Russian manufacturers at half price. Preferential conditions are implemented by compensating 50% of the cost of a license to software manufacturers from the federal budget. As of mid-June, 105 software products from 34 copyright holders have been selected.
