The larger the region, the more opportunities it has for developing

When compiling the rating, the size of the software industry in the region was taken into account first of all (total revenue, total export, total staff of enterprises specializing in software development). A special feature of the companies in the industry and their employees is that they are among the most demanding in Russia in terms of working and living conditions, and are also the most mobile. Software enterprises very easily and quickly move their headquarters to another region and even to another country .

a software business. However, population sweden cell phone number list size is not the only factor influencing a region's position in the main rating. Moscow is in first place not only because it is the most densely populated subject of the Federation, but also because the capital concentrates financial resources, the largest Russian software consumers, and is home to the country's leading universities. In addition, such a modern metropolis as Moscow is attractive for young people to live, study , and work.

At the same time, if we take into account the contribution of remote development centers of companies from other regions to the total revenue of the head offices, then St. Petersburg will be almost at the level of Moscow in the rating, having almost 2.5 times smaller population. In the total revenue of Russian software companies, Moscow accounts for 27.6% (approximately 430 billion rubles ), and St. Petersburg - 24.2% (380 billion rubles ). At the same time, although the Northern capital is the second largest city in Russia, but in terms of population among the subjects of the Federation it is only in 4th place, behind the Moscow region and the Krasnodar region. Nizhny Novgorod and Novosibirsk regions, which occupy 3rd and 4th place in the RUSSOFT rating, are in 12th and 15th place, respectively, in terms of the number of residents.

A study of the situation in 50 regions of the country allowed us to conclude that software companies successfully operating on the global market can appear even in regions with small populations that do not have well-known universities and developed infrastructure. At the same time, their location may not even be very convenient for working with foreign customers. Such companies, for example, appeared in the Vologda Region and Yakutia, which, despite all the factors listed, occupy places in the fourth ten leaders in the rating.
