SILA Union and the Kherson Region Development Fund signed a partnership agreement at SPIEF

The Russian IT company SILA Union and the Prospective Development of the Kherson Region Foundation signed a cooperation agreement as part of the business program of the XXIX St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF-2026). The document aims to integrate domestic management practices and digital transformation technologies into the infrastructure of the new regions of the Russian Federation.

The agreement was signed by Elena Silkina, founder and managing partner of SILA Union, and Ruslan Syrtlanov, Advisor to the Governor of the Kherson Region and Director of the Foundation. The document provides for long-term cooperation in the educational, scientific, and expert fields. The partnership strategy is aimed at the comprehensive development of the region and combines the modernization of the educational process with the enhancement of the technological potential of local businesses.

As part of the cooperation, students of universities in the Kherson region will be able to gain access to modern domestic digital tools that are used in real projects for the design of corporate

"The Kherson region is at the stage of actively forming a new management architecture. It is important that this process is based on modern Russian technologies and proven process management methodologies," said Elena Silkina.

In turn, Ruslan Syrtlanov emphasized that the partnership with SILA Union will become an important element of the region's comprehensive development strategy.

"Digital sovereignty is not just about replacing software. It's about creating an efficient, transparent, and manageable system that benefits the people of the region," he said.

The practical value of the new cooperation lies in the transition from the point-based implementation of IT solutions to the formation of a unified digital environment. In this environment, processes, data, and technologies function within a common architecture, allowing management to make informed decisions based on reliable data.

The signed agreement reflects a key trend of SPIEF 2026: sustainable development of territories is impossible without a strong management framework that integrates technologies, processes, and best practices into a unified system.

SILA Union is software for comprehensive design and analysis of corporate architecture, business process modeling, IT architecture, strategic planning, risk management, organizational change management, and digital transformation and artificial intelligence management. SILA Union is a fully domestic solution included in the register of Russian programs and fully allows for the implementation of projects to import-substitute foreign analogues.

The Prospective Development of the Kherson Region Foundation is an organization that promotes the socio-economic development of the region, the introduction of modern management practices, and the implementation of priority projects in the field of digitalization and technological development.
