This helps to reduce staff shortages, lower the cost of adapting new employees, and accelerate the implementation of initiatives.

At the conference, Elena Silkina, founder of SILA Union, spoke about the role of domestic technologies in improving management efficiency, developing businesses, and implementing large-scale change programs in her presentation "Technological Leadership Based on the Russian Solution SILA Union."

SILA Union experts participated in the evaluation of the projects and the discussion of practical scenarios for using modern technologies in business.

Participation in student conferences of industry leaders, such as SILA Union, is an opportunity to share practical expertise and show future specialists how modern Russian platforms help companies build a managed business architecture, model processes, and work and implement AI tools at a systemic level.

Today, such approaches are becoming the foundation of organizations' technological leadership and enable them to turn digital initiatives into measurable business results. It is in such formats that a new generation of specialists is being formed, with an understanding of real business challenges and the practice of working with modern digital tools. This has a direct impact on the labor market, as companies gain trained professionals who can meet their key needs in management, analytics, and digital development.
