"On behalf of GMCS, I congratulate the St. Petersburg International Business Association on its 30^th anniversary! For us, partnership with SPIBA is not just membership, but an opportunity to jointly shape the digital future of business in the region. As co-chairman of the SPIBA Committee on Innovation and Intelligent Systems, I strive to support the exchange of experience not only between community members but also with other companies. The speed dating format has become the discovery of this season, which once again underlines people's interest in live acquaintances and social capital development. I am sure that an interesting agenda and useful events on the topic of IT application practices lie ahead," said Iya Kuznetsova.
