Russia

Russia’s reliance on foreign software to run its factories, farms and oil fields is turning into one of the biggest problems for the domestic industry as more IT providers pull out of the market in response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. International sanctions forced industrial manufacturers to wind down their operations in the country. The main challenge is in the nation’s oil and gas industry, where domestic IT software accounts for only 5% to 10% of industry-specific tools and is often suboptimal.
