"Aquarius", being one of the leading Russian manufacturers of computer and server equipment under the state import substitution program, has become a member of the founders of ANO "Digital Economy". The company has been successfully operating in the domestic IT market for over 34 years and during these years has gained extensive experience and expertise in the development and production of devices, building business strategies, and training personnel for the industry.
"Aquarius" and ANO "Digital Economy" are jointly planning to create projects and new initiatives for import substitution, to promote Russian high-tech products in Russia and abroad. The company also plans to actively participate in events and working groups of ANO.
The "Aquarius" production complex, represented in Shuya and Tver, provides a full cycle of production of high-tech equipment, including printing boards, surface mounting of components and assembly of products. The company provides IT solutions of any level of complexity for large, medium and small businesses, private and public companies. The production capacity is currently more than 1.2 million high-tech devices per year. By launching a second production facility in Tver, "Aquarius" expects to increase production capacity by 2.5 times - up to 2.5 million devices - by the end of 2025. The company's equipment is included in the Unified Register of Russian Radio-Electronic Products.
The company's management understands that the development of the domestic IT industry and the achievement of technological sovereignty of the country directly depends, among other things, on the quality of engineering education and the growth of its human resources. Therefore, "Aquarius" considers it important to contribute to the development of young talents. Thus, for several years now, "Aquarius" has been implementing a large-scale program for training and attracting students and young professionals to work in the company - "More than a start!"
As part of ANO "DE", "Aquarius" will interact with representatives of government agencies and other members of the community on issues of staffing, support for the digital transformation of the IT industry, promotion of domestic technologies and solutions to other important issues.
"The entry of "Aquarius" into the founders of ANO "Digital Economy" is an important step for our company on the path of direct and effective interaction with the state on topical IT issues, exchange of experience and the search for and implementation of the best forms of digital transformation of the economy. The management of the company and ANO "Digital Economy" also realize that the development of the industry and the achievement of technological sovereignty of the country directly depends on the quality of engineering education and the growth of its human resources. That is, the front of joint initiatives is extensive and we will gladly implement them in close cooperation with ANO "Digital Economy", - emphasized Dmitry Titov, First Vice President of Aquarius Group.
"Together with Aquarius Group - now with double the strength we will drive the import substitution agenda: the creation of our own digital systems, tools, services, and hardware. Now, after the company's entry into ANO "Digital Economy", we have additional powerful expertise: together we will be able to more effectively support the hardware agenda, promote domestic developments, introduce business and the state to the latest Russian technologies and products.
I am sure that many joint projects and initiatives await us. It is great that companies from different sectors of the economy are joining ANO DE. This encourages us to further develop our key competencies and areas, including strengthening the Analytical Hub, the Regulatory Area, and launching new projects," comments Sergey Plugotarenko, General Director of ANO "Digital Economy".
